Touch-sensitive device scratch card user interface
First Claim
1. An article of manufacture comprising a computer-readable storage medium that stores instructions that, when executed, cause a computing device to:
- output, for display, a first image;
receive an indication of a first user interaction with a touch-sensitive input device, the first user interaction indicating a first plurality of portions of the first image, wherein a greater pressure or contact area associated with the first user interaction with the touch-sensitive input device indicates a respectively greater number of the first plurality of portions of the first image;
responsive to receiving the indication of the first user interaction, remove the first plurality of portions of the first image, such that the first plurality of portions are entirely removed from display in the first image;
receive an indication of a second user interaction with the touch-sensitive input device, the second user interaction indicating a second plurality of portions of the first image, the second plurality of portions of the first image being different than the first plurality of portions of the first image, wherein a greater pressure or contact area associated with the second user interaction with the touch-sensitive input device indicates a respectively greater number of the second portions of the first image;
responsive to receiving the indication of the second user interaction, remove the second plurality of portions of the first image, such that the second plurality of portions are entirely removed from display in the first image;
output, for display, a second image comprising an animated image or video that is revealed in response to removal of the first plurality of portions and second plurality of portions of the first image, thereby providing a simulated scratch-off user interface;
receive an indication of a third user interaction with the touch-sensitive input device, the third user interaction indicating a third plurality of portions of the first image and at least a portion of the second image; and
responsive to receiving the indication of the third user interaction;
remove the third plurality of portions of the first image, such that the third plurality of portions are entirely removed from display in the first image; and
output, for display, an enlarged portion of the second image, the enlarged portion including at least the portion of the second image and at least one additional portion of the second image different from at least the portion of the second image.

Abstract
This disclosure is directed to techniques for presenting a scratch-card style interface using a touch-sensitive device. The touch-sensitive device is configured to present a first image using a display of the device. The first image may include a plurality of portions. The plurality of portions may be a plurality of overlapping image particles, or may be a plurality of image layers. The device may detect a first user interaction, and graphically remove a first number of portions of the first image in response to detection of the first user interaction. The device may detect a second user interaction, and graphically remove a second number of portions of the first image in response to the detected second user interaction. Graphical removal of the second number of portions may at least partially reveal a second image presented using the display of the device.

8. A method, comprising:
-
displaying, by a computing device and for display, a first image; receiving, by the computing device, an indication of a first user interaction with a touch-sensitive input device, the first user interaction indicating a first plurality of portions of the first image, wherein a greater pressure or contact area associated with the first user interaction with the touch-sensitive input device indicates a respectively greater number of the first plurality of portions of the first image; responsive to receiving the indication of the first user interaction, removing, by the computing device, the first plurality of portions of the first image such that the first plurality of portions are entirely removed from display in the first image; receiving, by the computing device, an indication of a second user interaction with the touch-sensitive input device, the second user interaction indicating a second plurality of portions of the first image, the second plurality of portions of the first image being different than the first plurality of portions of the first image, the second plurality of portions of the first image different than the first plurality of portions of the first image, wherein a greater pressure or contact area associated with the second user interaction with the touch-sensitive input device indicates a respectively greater number of the second portions of the first image; responsive to receiving the indication of the second user interaction, removing, by the computing device, the second plurality of portions of the first image, such that the second plurality of portions being entirely removed from display in the first image; outputting, by the computing device and for display, a second image comprising an animated image or video that is revealed for display to a user in response to the removal of the first plurality of portions and second plurality of portions of the first image, thereby providing a simulated scratch-off user interface; receiving, by the computing device, an indication of a third user interaction with the touch-sensitive input device, the third user interaction indicating a third plurality of portions of the first image and at least a portion of the second image; and responsive to receiving the indication of the third user interaction; removing, by the computing device, the third plurality of portions of the first image, such that the third plurality of portions are entirely removed from display in the first image; and outputting, by the computing device and for display, an enlarged portion of the second image, the enlarged portion including at least the portion of the second image and at least one additional portion of the second image different from at least the portion of the second image. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)
