SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR NAVIGATING BETWEEN USER INTERFACE SCREENS
First Claim
1. A method for navigating between displayed user interface screens, the method comprising:
- sensing, by a touch screen computing device, a touch pattern received from a user on a displayed one of a plurality of user interface screens;
determining, by the touch screen computing device, a touch force, duration, and location of the touch pattern; and
performing, by the touch screen computing device, based on the determination at least one of replacing the displayed user interface screen with one or more of the user interface screens, merging one or more elements of the one or more user interface screens with one or more displayed elements of the displayed user interface screen, or toggling sequentially between the one or more user interface screens.

Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a method for navigating between a plurality of user interface screens displayed on a display unit of a system. The method comprises sensing a touch pattern received from a user on a displayed user interface screen of the plurality of user interface screens of the system. Then, a touch force, duration and location of the touch pattern are determined. The system performs at least one of replacing the displayed user interface screen with a user interface screen from among the plurality of user interface screens stacked subsequent to the displayed user interface screen. The system performs merging one or more elements of the plurality of user interface screens with one or more displayed elements of the displayed user interface screen. The system performs toggling sequentially between each of the plurality of user interface screens.

8. A touch screen computing device comprising at least one processor and a memory coupled to the processor which is configured to be capable of executing programmed instructions comprising and stored in the memory to:
-
sense a touch pattern received from a user on a displayed one of a plurality of user interface screens; determine a touch force, duration, and location of the touch pattern; and perform based on the determination at least one of replacing the displayed user interface screen with one or more of the user interface screens, merging one or more elements of the one or more user interface screens with one or more displayed elements of the displayed user interface screen, or toggling sequentially between the one or more user interface screens. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions for navigating between displayed user interface screens comprising executable code which when executed, by a processor, causes the processor to perform steps comprising:
-
sensing a touch pattern received from a user on a displayed one of a plurality of user interface screens; determining a touch force, duration, and location of the touch pattern; and performing based on the determination at least one of replacing the displayed user interface screen with one or more of the user interface screens, merging one or more elements of the one or more user interface screens with one or more displayed elements of the displayed user interface screen, or toggling sequentially between the one or more user interface screens. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 21)

- 18. The non-transitory computer readable medium as claimed in claim 18, wherein the merging is performed only when the amount of touch force applied is when the touch force of the touch pattern is determined to be greater than the predetermined amount of touch force, the duration of the touch pattern is determined to be less than a predetermined amount of time, and the location of the touch pattern is determined to be at the one or more displayed elements of the displayed user interface screen.
