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, at 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;
determining, by the computing device, a magnitude of a detected property of the one or more gestures to select the at least one media object;
responsive to receiving the user input, selecting 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, wherein the quantity of the metadata is proportional to the magnitude of the detected property; 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.

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 detected property 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.

19. A computer-readable storage medium encoded with instructions that when executed cause one or more processors of a computing device to perform operations comprising:
-
generating 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; receiving, at 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; determining a magnitude of a detected property of the one or more gestures to select the at least one media object; responsive to receiving the user input, selecting 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, wherein the quantity of the metadata is proportional to the magnitude of the detected property; 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.

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 wherein the one or more processors are configured to; determine a magnitude of a detected property of the one or more gestures to select the at least one media object; responsive to receiving the user input, select 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 the magnitude of the detected property; and 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.

21. A method comprising:
-
displaying one or more media objects at least one of which having metadata associated therewith, wherein the metadata comprises information that describes the at least one media object; receiving, at a presence-sensitive screen of a computing device, user input comprising one or more gestures to select the at least one media object; determining, by the computing device, a magnitude of a property of the one or more gestures to select the at least one media object; selecting, by the computing device, a quantity of the metadata associated with the at least one selected media object, wherein the quantity of the metadata is proportional to the magnitude of the detected property; and displaying the selected quantity of the metadata associated with the at least one selected media object. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
