Method for manipulating a plurality of non-selected graphical user elements
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- displaying, by an electronic device, at least two elements;
selecting, by the electronic device and based on a touch input detected on a first side of the electronic device, a first element from the at least two elements;
manipulating, by the electronic device, a non-selected second element from the at least two elements in a direction of a slide touch input detected on a second side of the electronic device; and
responsive to detecting a cessation of the slide touch input, moving, based on a movement of the touch input after cessation of the slide touch input, the first element.

Abstract
A method for manipulating graphical user interface elements includes displaying a plurality of elements on a touch screen of an electronic device. Based on a first touch screen contact detected on a first side of the electronic device and a slide contact detected on a second side of the electronic device, a first touch screen element is selected and the non-selected touch screen element(s) are manipulated relative to the first element. The slide contact can be interpreted by the electronic device as a drag, push, or rotate relative to the first element. Various features of the slide movement, such as the speed, the length, the pressure, the direction, and/or the pattern may affect the manipulation of the non-selected elements.

5. A device comprising:
-
a touch screen positioned on a first side of the device and configured to display at least two elements; a touch pad positioned on a second side of the device; and one or more processors configured to; select, based on a touch input detected by the touch screen, a first element from the at least two elements; manipulate a non-selected second element from the at least two elements, relative to the first element, in a direction of a slide touch input detected by the touch pad; and responsive to detecting a cessation of the slide touch input, move the first element based on a movement of the touch input after cessation of the slide touch input. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8)

9. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium encoded with instructions for causing one or more processors of an electronic device to:
-
select, based on a touch input detected on a first side the electronic device, a first element from at least two elements, wherein the at least two elements are displayed by a touch screen positioned on the first side of the electronic device; manipulate a non-selected second element from the at least two elements, relative to the first element, in a direction of a slide touch input detected on a second side the electronic device; and responsive to detecting a cessation of the slide touch input, move the first element based on a movement of the touch input after cessation of the slide touch input. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)
