First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method executed on a computing device to provide a touch-based reorganization of a page element, the method comprising:
- in response to detecting a touch action on the page element of a document page, executing a visual change on the page element, wherein the visual change includes a modification to a section color associated with the page element and two or more of;
an outline of the page element, a drop shadow of the page element, a ghost out of the page element, a de-emphasis of the page element, and an animation of the page element;
determining a modification associated with the touch action and the page element;
including an operation in the modification of the page element, wherein the operation includes a hierarchical reorganization of the page element and one or more of a vertical reorganization of the page element and a horizontal reorganization of the page element;
displaying a control associated with the modification in proximity to the page element;
associating the control with a graphic of the document page and one or more of a table of the document page, a video of the document page, text of the document page, and audio of the document page as the page element; and
displaying a hint in a proximity relative to the touch action to inform a user of the modification to be performed on the document page.

12. A computing device to provide a touch-based reorganization of a page element, the computing device comprising:
-
a memory; a processor coupled to the memory, the processor executing an application in conjunction with instructions stored in the memory, wherein the application is configured to; in response to detecting a touch action on the page element of a document page, execute a visual change on the page element, wherein the visual change includes a modification to a section color associated with the page element and two or more of;
an outline of the page element, a drop shadow of the page element, a ghost out of the page element, a de-emphasis of the page element, and an animation of the page element;determine a modification associated with the touch action and the page element; include an operation in the modification of the page element, wherein the operation includes a hierarchical reorganization of the page element and one or more of a vertical reorganization of the page element and a horizontal reorganization of the page element; display a control associated with the modification in proximity to the page element; associate the control with a graphic of the document page and one or more of a table of the document page, a video of the document page, text of the document page, and audio of the document as the page element; display a hint in a proximity relative to the touch action associated with the modification on the control; reorganize the page element based on the modification by positioning the page element at a location on the document page as determined by the touch action; and display another control encompassing the page element after reorganizing based on the modification to modify a selection associated with the page element. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A computer-readable memory device with instructions stored thereon to provide touch-based reorganization of a page element, the instructions comprising:
-
in response to detecting a touch action on the page element of a document page, executing a visual change on the page element, wherein the visual change includes a modification to a section color associated with the page element and two or more of;
an outline of the page element, a drop shadow of the page element, a ghost out of the page element, a de-emphasis of the page element, and an animation of the page element;determining a modification associated with the touch action and the page element; including an operation in the modification of the page element, wherein the operation includes a hierarchical reorganization of the page element and one or more of a vertical reorganization of the page element and a horizontal reorganization of the page element; displaying a control associated with the modification in proximity to the page element; associating the control with a graphic of the document page and one or more of a table of the document page, a video of the document page, text of the document page, and audio of the document page as the page element; displaying a hint in a proximity relative to the touch action associated with the modification on the control; reorganizing the page element based on the modification by positioning the page element at a location on the document page as determined by the touch action; rendering one or more alignment guides to illustrate a state of the page element at a stop of the touch action; and displaying another control encompassing the page element after reorganizing based on the modification to modify a selection associated with the page element. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
