SYSTEM AND METHOD TO PERFORM A NUMERICAL INPUT USING A CONTINUOUS SWIPE GESTURE
First Claim
1. A computing device having a processor coupled to a memory and coupled to a gesture based I/O device, the memory storing instructions, which when executed by the processor configure the computing device to:
- display via the gesture based I/O device a graphical user interface (GUI) having a region displaying a gross number and a gross number control with which to initially define a specific number for further defining with finer specificity;
in response to a first gesture interacting with the gross number control, the first gesture comprising a hard click or a pause gesture via the gesture based I/O device, initially define the specific number as the gross number and display a finer number control to further define the specific number with finer specificity; and
,in response to a continuous swipe gesture continuing from the first gesture and interacting with the finer number control, further display and define the specific number with finer specificity, a quantum of the specific number varying in response to a direction and distance of the continuous swipe gesture.

Abstract
There is provided a gesture-based GUI (system, method, etc.) to facilitate input of numerical data using a continuous swipe gesture. A gesture-based I/O device displays a GUI presenting a gross number and a gross number control to initially define a specific number for further defining with specificity. In response to a first gesture (hard click or pause) interacting with the gross number control, the specific number is initially defined as the gross number and a finer number control is presented to refine the specific number. In response to a continuous swipe gesture continuing from the first gesture and interacting with the finer number control, the interface further defines the specific number with finer specificity where a quantum varies in response to a direction and distance of the continuous swipe. Successive finer number controls may be also be presented to refine the specific number by continuing the swipe.

-
display via the gesture based I/O device a graphical user interface (GUI) having an number region displaying a gross number and a gross number control with which to initially define a specific number for further defining with finer specificity; and in response to a first gesture interacting with the gross number control, the first gesture comprising a hard click or a pause gesture via the gesture based I/O device; initially define the specific number as the gross number; and successively display respective finer number controls to further define the specific number with respective finer specificity in response to a continuous swipe gesture continuing the first gesture, where; a next of the respective finer number controls is displayed in response to a respective hard click or pause gesture interacting with a one of the respective finer number controls as currently displayed; and each of the respective finer number controls refines the specificity of the specific number in response to a direction and distance of the continuous swipe interacting with the respective finer number control. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method implemented by a computing device having a processor coupled to a memory and coupled to a gesture based I/O device, the method comprising:
-
displaying via the gesture based I/O device a graphical user interface (GUI) having a region displaying a gross number and a gross number control with which to initially define a specific number for further defining with finer specificity; and in response to a first gesture interacting with the gross number control, the first gesture comprising a hard click or a pause gesture via the gesture based I/O device; initially defining the specific number as the gross number; and successively displaying respective finer number controls to further define the specific number with respective finer specificity in response to a continuous swipe gesture continuing the first gesture, where; a next of the respective finer number controls is displayed in response to a respective hard click or pause gesture interacting with a one of the respective finer number controls as currently displayed; and each of the respective finer number controls refines the specificity of the specific number in response to a direction and distance of the continuous swipe. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
