Gesture-based metadata display
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- generating for display, in a graphical user interface (GUI) of a computing device, a browsing view comprising browsing content, wherein the browsing content includes one or more media objects that are displayable in the browsing view;
receiving, using a presence-sensitive screen of the computing device, user input comprising one or more gestures to select at least one media object of the one or more media objects;
responsive to receiving the user input, determining an input operation that corresponds to the user input, wherein the input operation selects a quantity of metadata associated with the at least one selected media object, wherein the metadata comprises information that describes the at least one selected media object, and wherein the quantity of the metadata is proportional to a magnitude of the one or more gestures to select the at least one media object; and
generating for display, in an expanded view of the GUI that includes the browsing view, the metadata associated with the at least one selected media object, wherein the expanded view is generated for display without changing the browsing content in the browsing view of the GUI.

Abstract
In general, embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to techniques for quickly displaying metadata of media objects (e.g., music files) using gestures. In one example a method includes, generating for display a browsing view including browsing content, wherein the browsing content includes one or more media objects; receiving user input including one or more gestures to select at least one media object; determining an input operation that selects a quantity of metadata associated with the selected media object, wherein the metadata includes information that describes the selected media object, and wherein the quantity of the metadata is proportional to a magnitude of the one or more gestures to select the media object; and generating for display in an expanded view, the metadata associated with the at least one selected media object, wherein the expanded view is generated for display without changing the browsing content.

19. A computer-readable storage medium encoded with instructions that cause one or more processors of a computing device to:
-
generate for display, in a graphical user interface (GUI) of the computing device, a browsing view comprising browsing content, wherein the browsing content includes one or more media objects that are displayable in the browsing view; receive, using a presence-sensitive screen of the computing device, user input comprising one or more gestures to select at least one media object of the one or more media objects; responsive to receiving the user input, determine an input operation that corresponds to the user input, wherein the input operation selects a quantity of metadata associated with the at least one selected media object, wherein the metadata comprises information that describes the at least one selected media object, and wherein the quantity of the metadata is proportional to a magnitude of the one or more gestures to select the at least one media object; and generating for display, in an expanded view of the GUI that includes the browsing view, the metadata associated with the at least one selected media object, wherein the expanded view is generated for display without changing the browsing content in the browsing view of the GUI.

20. A computing device, comprising:
-
one or more processors; an output device to generate, for display, a browsing view in a graphical user interface (GUI) of the computing device, wherein the browsing view comprises browsing content that includes one or more media objects that are displayable in the browsing view; a presence-sensitive screen to receive user input comprising one or more gestures to select at least one media object of the one or more media objects; and means, responsive to receiving the user input, for determining an input operation that corresponds to the user input, wherein the input operation selects a quantity of metadata associated with the at least one selected media object, wherein the metadata describes the at least one selected media object, and wherein the quantity of the metadata is proportional to a magnitude of the one or more gestures to select the at least one media object, wherein, the output device generates for display, in an expanded view of the GUI that includes the browsing view, the metadata associated with the at least one selected media object, wherein the expanded view is generated for display without changing the browsing content in the browsing view of the GUI.
