METHODS AND SOFTWARE FOR FACILITATING THE SELECTION OF MULTIPLE ITEMS AT AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- displaying on a touch sensitive display a grid list of icons representing selectable items, the icons being ordered in the grid;
in rows extending in a first direction and being arranged consecutively in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, the grid list comprising at least one column;
orin columns extending in a first direction and being arranged consecutively in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, the grid list comprising at least one row;
and, in response to the device detecting a touch input starting from a first icon and continuing forwards or backwards in the first direction, causing items represented by icons adjacent to the first icon forwards or backwards in the ordered grid list to be selected consecutively.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method of facilitating the selection of multiple items at an electronic device having a touch sensitive display and for receiving user input, the device, comprising: displaying on the display a grid list of icons representing selectable items, the icons being ordered in the grid: in rows extending in a first direction and being arranged consecutively in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, the grid list comprising at least one column; or in columns extending in a first direction and being arranged consecutively in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, the grid list comprising at least one row; and, in response to the device receiving user input in the form of a touch starting from a first icon and continuing forwards or backwards in the first direction, causing items represented by icons adjacent to the first icon forwards or backwards in the ordered grid list to be selected consecutively.

17. An electronic device comprising:
-
a touch sensitive display for receiving user input; one or more processors; and memory comprising instructions which when executed by one or more of the processors cause the electronic device to; display on the display a grid list of icons representing selectable items, the icons being ordered in the grid; in rows extending in a first direction and being arranged consecutively in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, the grid list comprising at least one column;
orin columns extending in a first direction and being arranged consecutively in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, the grid list comprising at least one row; and, in response to the device receiving user input in the form of a touch starting from a first icon and continuing forwards or backwards in the first direction, cause items represented by icons adjacent to the first icon forwards or backwards in the ordered grid list to be selected consecutively.

18. A computer readable medium comprising instructions which when executed by one or more of the processors of an electronic device having a touch sensitive display for receiving user input, cause the electronic device to:
-
display on the display a grid list of icons representing selectable items, the icons being ordered in the grid; in rows extending in a first direction and being arranged consecutively in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, the grid list comprising at least one column;
orin columns extending in a first direction and being arranged consecutively in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, the grid list comprising at least one row; and, in response to the device receiving user input in the form of a touch starting from a first icon and continuing forwards or backwards in the first direction, cause items represented by icons adjacent to the first icon forwards or backwards in the ordered grid list to be selected consecutively.
