First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- outputting, by a computing device, for display at a touch-sensitive display, a first sub-portion of a list of items;
receiving an indication of a first gesture input entered at the touch-sensitive display, the first gesture input having a first quantity of points of contact at the touch-sensitive display;
determining a first alphanumeric character based at least in part on the first gesture input;
responsive to determining the first alphanumeric character, outputting, by the computing device, for display at the touch-sensitive display, and in place of the first sub-portion of the list of items, a second sub-portion of the list of items that includes one or more entries having a first character that corresponds to the first alphanumeric character;
after outputting, by the computing device, for display at the touch-sensitive display, the second sub-portion of the list of items, receiving an indication of a second gesture input entered at the touch-sensitive display, the second gesture input having a second quantity of points of contact at the touch-sensitive display, wherein at least one of the first gesture input and the second gesture input comprises a multi-touch gesture input;
determining a second alphanumeric character based at least in part on the second gesture input;
comparing the first quantity of points of contact in the first gesture input to the second quantity of points of contact in the second gesture input; and
responsive to determining that the first quantity of points of contact is different than the second quantity of points of contact, outputting, by the computing device and for display at the touch-sensitive display, in place of the second sub-portion of the list of items, a third sub-portion of the list of items that includes one or more entries having a first character that corresponds to the first alphanumeric character and a second character that corresponds to the second alphanumeric character.

Abstract
Techniques for jumping to a specific location in a list of items displayed at a touch-sensitive display of a computing device may include outputting, for display at the touch-sensitive display, a first sub-portion of a list of items, receiving an indication of a first gesture input entered at the touch-sensitive display, determining a first alphanumeric character based at least in part on the first gesture input, receiving an indication of a second gesture input entered at the touch-sensitive display, determining a second alphanumeric character based at least in part on the second gesture input, and responsive to determining the second alphanumeric character, outputting, for display at the touch-sensitive display, a sub-portion of the list of items that includes one or more entries having a first character that corresponds to the first alphanumeric character and a second character that corresponds to the second alphanumeric character.

15. A computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
-
outputting, by a computing device, for display at a touch-sensitive display, a first sub-portion of a list of items; receiving an indication of a first gesture input entered at the touch-sensitive display, the first gesture input having a first quantity of points of contact at the touch-sensitive display; determining a first alphanumeric character based at least in part on the first gesture input; receiving an indication of a second gesture input entered at the touch-sensitive display, the second gesture input having a second quantity of points of contact at the touch-sensitive display, wherein the second quantity of points of contact is greater than the first quantity of points of contact; determining a second alphanumeric character based at least in part on the second gesture input; and responsive to determining the second alphanumeric character, outputting, by the computing device, for display at the touch-sensitive display, in place of the first sub-portion of the list of items, a second sub-portion of the list of items that includes one or more entries having a first character that corresponds to the first alphanumeric character and a second character that corresponds to the second alphanumeric character. - View Dependent Claims (16)

17. A computing device comprising:
-
one or more processors; a touch-sensitive display configured to display a first sub-portion of a list of items, and further configured to receive a first gesture input; a query module operable on the one or more processors and configured to determine a first alphanumeric character based at least in part on the first gesture input; wherein responsive to the query module determining the first alphanumeric character, the touch-sensitive display is further configured to display, in place of the first sub-portion of the list of items, a second sub-portion of the list of items that includes one or more entries having a first character that corresponds to the first alphanumeric character; wherein after displaying the second sub-portion of the list, the touch-sensitive display is further configured to receive a second gesture input, wherein at least one of the first gesture input and the second gesture input comprises a multi-touch gesture input; wherein the query module is further configured to determine a second alphanumeric character based at least in part on the second gesture input; wherein responsive to the query module determining the second alphanumeric character, the touch-sensitive display is further configured to display, in place of the second sub-portion of the list of items, a third sub-portion of the list of items that includes one or more entries having a first character that corresponds to the first alphanumeric character and a second character that corresponds to the second alphanumeric character; wherein the first gesture input is received at a first portion of the touch-sensitive display; and wherein the first sub-portion of the list of items is displayed at the first portion of the touch-sensitive display during input of the first gesture input. - View Dependent Claims (18)
