Device, method, and graphical user interface for managing concurrently open software applications
First Claim
1. An electronic device, comprising:
- a touch-sensitive display;
one or more processors;
memory; and
one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs are stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for;
displaying a first row in a multitasking user interface that includes a plurality of representations of open applications on the display, wherein the first row is configured to move in a first direction on the display;
concurrently displaying a second row in the multitasking user interface with the first row, wherein;
the second row is spaced apart from the first row at a separate location from a location of the first row; and
the second row includes a plurality of application icons that correspond to the representations of open applications;
while concurrently displaying the first row and the second row, detecting a first input that corresponds to movement of a respective representation of a respective open application in a second direction that is different from the first direction; and
in response to detecting the first input;
moving the respective representation out of the first row in the second direction in accordance with a progression of the first input without moving the application icon for the respective application in the second direction; and
in accordance with a determination that application-close criteria have been met for the respective application by the first input;
closing the respective application;
ceasing to display the respective representation in the first row; and
ceasing to display the application icon for the respective application in the second row.

Abstract
An electronic device displays a first row in a multitasking user interface that includes a plurality of representations of open applications. The device concurrently displays a second row that is spaced apart from the first row and includes application icons for the open applications. While concurrently displaying the first row and the second row, the device detects a first input that corresponds to movement in a second direction. In response, the device moves the respective representation out of the first row in the second direction in accordance with a progression of the first input without moving the application icon for the respective application in the second direction. When application-close criteria have been met for the respective application by the first input, the device closes the respective application, ceases to display the respective representation in the first row and ceases to display the application icon in the second row.

11. A method comprising:
at an electronic device with a display; displaying a first row in a multitasking user interface that includes a plurality of representations of open applications on the display, wherein the first row is configured to move in a first direction on the display; concurrently displaying a second row in the multitasking user interface with the first row, wherein; the second row is spaced apart from the first row at a separate location from a location of the first row; and the second row includes a plurality of application icons that correspond to the representations of open applications; while concurrently displaying the first row and the second row, detecting a first input that corresponds to movement of a respective representation of a respective open application in a second direction that is different from the first direction; and in response to detecting the first input; moving the respective representation out of the first row in the second direction in accordance with a progression of the first input without moving the application icon for the respective application in the second direction; and in accordance with a determination that application-close criteria have been met for the respective application by the first input; closing the respective application; ceasing to display the respective representation in the first row; and ceasing to display the application icon for the respective application in the second row. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions, which when executed by an electronic device with a display, cause the device to:
-
display a first row in a multitasking user interface that includes a plurality of representations of open applications on the display, wherein the first row is configured to move in a first direction on the display; concurrently display a second row in the multitasking user interface with the first row, wherein; the second row is spaced apart from the first row at a separate location from a location of the first row; and the second row includes a plurality of application icons that correspond to the representations of open applications; while concurrently displaying the first row and the second row, detect a first input that corresponds to movement of a respective representation of a respective open application in a second direction that is different from the first direction; and in response to detecting the first input; move the respective representation out of the first row in the second direction in accordance with a progression of the first input without moving the application icon for the respective application in the second direction; and in accordance with a determination that application-close criteria have been met for the respective application by the first input; close the respective application; cease to display the respective representation in the first row; and cease to display the application icon for the respective application in the second row. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
