1. Apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor; and
memory including computer program code configured to, working with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following;
causing a computing device, having a locked state in which a lock screen is displayed on a touch sensitive display and unlocked states, to launch an application and to display on the touch sensitive display a first display screen in which the application is in focus, in response to input registered by the touch sensitive display when the computing device is in an unlocked state, the application substantially filling the touch sensitive display; and
causing, as a user provides a translation input across the touch sensitive display that is initiated while the application is in focus on the touch sensitive display, removal of the first display screen from the touch sensitive display with the translation input, wherein the translation input includes a touch input at a first location on the touch sensitive display that is continued to a second location on the touch sensitive display along a path, wherein at least one characteristic of the translation input meets a set of criteria corresponding to a length of the input, a direction of the input or relative locations of the first location and the second location on the touch sensitive display, and in response to a determination that the at least one characteristic of the translation input meets the set of criteria, the removal of the first display screen from the touch sensitive display reveals a second display screen which appears from beneath the first display screen and in which the application is not in focus,wherein a selectable representation of the application is displayed in the second display screen.

Abstract
Based on one or more characteristics of a received translation input, a computing device is switched between two or more states. The translation input may be a touch input, for example a drag operation. The states may relate to locked and unlocked states, idle screens, or other suitable examples.

7. Apparatus comprising:
-
at least one processor; and memory including computer program code configured to, working with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following; causing a computing device, having a locked state in which a lock screen is displayed on a touch sensitive display and unlocked states, to launch an application and to display on the touch sensitive display a first display screen in which the application is in focus, in response to input registered by the touch sensitive display when the computing device is in an unlocked state, the application substantially filling the touch sensitive display; causing, as a user provides a translation input across the touch sensitive display that is initiated while the application is in focus on the touch sensitive display, removal of the first display screen from the touch sensitive display with the translation input, wherein the translation input includes a touch input at a first location on the touch sensitive display that is continued to a second location on the touch sensitive display along a path, wherein at least one characteristic of the translation input meets a set of criteria corresponding to a length of the input, a direction of the input or relative locations of the first location and the second location on the touch sensitive display, and in response to a determination that the at least one characteristic of the translation input meets the set of criteria, the removal of the first display screen from the touch sensitive display reveals a second display screen which appears from beneath the first display screen and in which the application is not in focus, wherein a selectable representation of the application is displayed in the second display screen; and terminating the application in response to the translation input provided to remove the first display screen from the touch sensitive display. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14)

15. A method, comprising:
-
causing a computing device, having a locked state in which a lock screen is displayed on a touch sensitive display and unlocked states, to launch an application and to display on the touch sensitive display a first display screen in which the application is in focus, in response to input registered by the touch sensitive display when the computing device is in an unlocked state, the application substantially filling the touch sensitive display; and causing, as a user provides a translation input across the touch sensitive display that is initiated while the application is in focus on the touch sensitive display, removal of the first display screen from the touch sensitive display with the translation input, wherein the translation input includes a touch input at a first location on the touch sensitive display that is continued to a second location on the touch sensitive display along a path, wherein at least one characteristic of the translation input meets a set of criteria corresponding to a length of the input, a direction of the input or relative locations of the first location and the second location on the touch sensitive display, and in response to a determination that the at least one characteristic of the translation input meets the set of criteria, the removal of the first display screen from the touch sensitive display reveals a second display screen which appears from beneath the first display screen and in which the application is not in focus, wherein a selectable representation of the application is displayed in the second display screen. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)
