Systems and Methods for Efficiently Navigating Between Applications with Linked Content on an Electronic Device with a Touch-Sensitive Display
First Claim
1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing executable instructions that, when executed by an electronic device with a touch-sensitive display, cause the electronic device to:
- display, in a full-screen mode on the touch-sensitive display, a first application including a first selectable user interface element associated with a second application;
detect a selection of the first selectable user interface element;
in response to detecting the selection of the first selectable user interface element;
(i) display the second application, including a second selectable user interface element corresponding to a third application, in a predefined portion of the touch-sensitive display;
(ii) display a first indication corresponding to the first application in an additional portion of the touch-sensitive display that is distinct from and adjacent to the predefined portion, wherein a combination of the predefined portion and the additional portion occupy substantially all of the touch-sensitive display;
detect a selection of the second selectable user interface element;
in response to detecting the selection of the second selectable user interface element;
(i) display the third application in the predefined portion of the touch-sensitive display; and
(ii) display a second indication corresponding to the second application in the additional portion of the touch-sensitive display, wherein the combination of the predefined portion and the additional portion occupy substantially all of the touch-sensitive display.

Abstract
Systems and methods for efficiently navigating between applications with linked content on a touch-sensitive display (“TSD”) are disclosed herein. In one aspect, the method includes displaying, in a full-screen mode on the TSD, a first application including a first selectable user interface (“UI”) element associated with a second application. The method further includes detecting a selection of the first selectable user interface element and, in response thereto: (i) displaying the second application, including a second selectable UI element, in a predefined portion of the TSD and (ii) displaying a first indication corresponding to the first application in an additional portion of the TSD. The method also includes detecting a selection of the second selectable UI element and, in response thereto: (i) displaying the third application in the predefined portion of the TSD and (ii) displaying a second indication corresponding to the second application in the additional portion of the TSD.

17. An electronic device, comprising:
-
a touch-sensitive display; one or more processors; and memory storing one or more programs which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the electronic device to; display, in a full-screen mode on the touch-sensitive display, a first application including a first selectable user interface element associated with a second application; detect a selection of the first selectable user interface element; in response to detecting the selection of the first selectable user interface element; (i) display the second application, including a second selectable user interface element, in a predefined portion of the touch-sensitive display; (ii) display a first indication corresponding to the first application in an additional portion of the touch-sensitive display that is distinct from and adjacent to the predefined portion, wherein a combination of the predefined portion and the additional portion occupy substantially all of the touch-sensitive display; detect a selection of the second selectable user interface element; in response to detecting the selection of the second selectable user interface element; (i) display the third application in the predefined portion of the touch-sensitive display; and (ii) display a second indication corresponding to the second application in the additional portion of the touch-sensitive display, wherein the combination of the predefined portion and the additional portion occupy substantially all of the touch-sensitive display.

18. A method, comprising:
at an electronic device with a touch-sensitive display; displaying, in a full-screen mode on the touch-sensitive display, a first application including a first selectable user interface element associated with a second application; detecting a selection of the first selectable user interface element; in response to detecting the selection of the first selectable user interface element; (i) displaying the second application, including a second selectable user interface element, in a predefined portion of the touch-sensitive display; (ii) displaying a first indication corresponding to the first application in an additional portion of the touch-sensitive display that is distinct from and adjacent to the predefined portion, wherein a combination of the predefined portion and the additional portion occupy substantially all of the touch-sensitive display; detecting a selection of the second selectable user interface element; in response to detecting the selection of the second selectable user interface element; (i) displaying the third application in the predefined portion of the touch-sensitive display; and (ii) displaying a second indication corresponding to the second application in the additional portion of the touch-sensitive display, wherein the combination of the predefined portion and the additional portion occupy substantially all of the touch-sensitive display.
