First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- while displaying an image within a display area on a touch display of an electronic device, detecting a single sliding gesture moving in a first direction, wherein the image is associated with a first application;
in response to the detecting of the single sliding gesture while the single sliding gesture is not terminated, gradually displaying a set of notification icons from a first edge of the touch display and gradually reducing a display size of the image;
detecting a change of a direction of the single sliding gesture into a second direction;
in response to detecting the change of the direction of the single sliding gesture into the second direction, removing the set of the notification icons from the touch display, gradually shifting in a display of information of a second application and gradually reducing the display size of the image, wherein the display of information of the second application comprises a preview of information of the second application without opening the second application, and wherein, while previewed, the information of the second application is viewable but active application functions associated with the second application are not operable other than to display substantially the same information as would be displayed when the second application is opened;
detecting a change of a direction of the single sliding gesture substantially to a second edge of the touch display to terminate the preview; and
in response to detecting the change of the direction of the single sliding gesture substantially to the second edge of the touch display to terminate the preview, gradually shifting the preview information of the second application off the touch display and shifting in the image and the set of notification icons into the touch display.

10. An electronic device comprising:
-
a touch-sensitive display to receive a touch; at least one processor coupled to the touch-sensitive display and configured to; while displaying an image within a display area on the touch-sensitive display of the electronic device, detect a single sliding gesture moving in a first direction, wherein the image is associated with a first application; in response to the detecting of the single sliding gesture while the single sliding gesture is not terminated, gradually display a set of notification icons from a first edge of the touch-sensitive display and gradually reducing a display size of the image; detect a change of a direction of the single sliding gesture into a second direction; in response to detecting the change of the direction of the single sliding gesture into the second direction, remove the set of the notification icons from the touch-sensitive display, gradually shift in a display of information of a second application and gradually reducing the display size of the image, wherein the display of information of the second application comprises a preview of information of the second application without opening the second application, and wherein, while previewed, the information of the second application is viewable but active application functions associated with the second application are not operable other than to display substantially the same information as would be displayed when the second application is opened; detect a change of a direction of the single sliding gesture substantially to a second edge of the touch-sensitive display to terminate the preview; and in response to detecting the change of the direction of the single sliding gesture substantially to the second edge of the touch-sensitive display to terminate the preview, gradually shift the preview information of the second application off the touch-sensitive display and shifting in the image and the set of notification icons into the touch-sensitive display. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause a machine to at least:
-
while displaying an image within a display area on a touch-sensitive display of an electronic device, detect a single sliding gesture moving in a first direction, wherein the image is associated with a first application; in response to the detecting of the single sliding gesture while the single sliding gesture is not terminated, gradually display a set of notification icons from a first edge of the touch-sensitive display and gradually reducing a display size of the image; detect a change of a direction of the single sliding gesture into a second direction; in response to detecting the change of the direction of the single sliding gesture into the second direction, remove the set of the notification icons from the touch-sensitive display, gradually shift in a display of information of a second application and gradually reducing the display size of the image, wherein the display of information of the second application comprises a preview of information of the second application without opening the second application, and wherein, while previewed, the information of the second application is viewable but active application functions associated with the second application are not operable other than to display substantially the same information as would be displayed when the second application is opened; detect a change of a direction of the single sliding gesture substantially to a second edge of the touch-sensitive display to terminate the preview; and in response to detecting the change of the direction of the single sliding gesture substantially to the second edge of the touch-sensitive display to terminate the preview, gradually shift the preview information of the second application off the touch-sensitive display and shifting in the image and the set of notification icons into the touch-sensitive display. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)
