1. A computing device, comprising:
- a touch sensitive display;
at least one processor; and
memory including computer program code configured to, working with the at least one processor, cause the computing device to;
unlock the computing device in response to user input;
cause the computing device to enter a first unlocked state by launching a first application program, the launched first application program being in focus and a first display screen of the application program substantially filling the touch sensitive display;
cause, as a user provides a translation input across the touch sensitive display that is initiated while the first application program is in focus, removal of the first display screen of the first application program from the touch sensitive display with the translation input which reveals a home screen comprising a plurality of user selectable representations of application programs including a user selectable representation of the first application program which is based at least in part on a screenshot of the first display screen prior to the user providing the translation input; and
switch the computing device, in response to determining that the translation input meets at least one criterion, from the first unlocked state to a second unlocked state in which the home screen is in focus and substantially fills the touch sensitive display by removing any remaining visible portion of the first display screen of the first application program from the touch sensitive display.

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.

1. A computing device, comprising:
-
a touch sensitive display; at least one processor; and memory including computer program code configured to, working with the at least one processor, cause the computing device to; unlock the computing device in response to user input; cause the computing device to enter a first unlocked state by launching a first application program, the launched first application program being in focus and a first display screen of the application program substantially filling the touch sensitive display; cause, as a user provides a translation input across the touch sensitive display that is initiated while the first application program is in focus, removal of the first display screen of the first application program from the touch sensitive display with the translation input which reveals a home screen comprising a plurality of user selectable representations of application programs including a user selectable representation of the first application program which is based at least in part on a screenshot of the first display screen prior to the user providing the translation input; and switch the computing device, in response to determining that the translation input meets at least one criterion, from the first unlocked state to a second unlocked state in which the home screen is in focus and substantially fills the touch sensitive display by removing any remaining visible portion of the first display screen of the first application program from the touch sensitive display. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8)

9. A computing device, comprising:
-
a touch sensitive display; at least one processor; and memory including computer program code configured to, working with the at least one processor, cause the computing device to; unlock the computing device in response to user input; cause the computing device to enter a first unlocked state by launching an application program, the launched application program having a display screen substantially filling the touch sensitive display; cause, as a user provides a translation input across the touch sensitive display that is initiated while the application program substantially fills the touch sensitive display, removal of the application program from the touch sensitive display with the translation input which reveals a home screen comprising a plurality of user selectable representations of application programs including a user selectable representation of the application program which is based at least in part on a screenshot of the display screen prior to the user providing the translation input; and switch the computing device, in response to determining that the translation input meets at least one criterion, from the first unlocked state to a second unlocked state in which the home screen substantially fills the touch sensitive display. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)

13. A computing device, comprising:
-
a touch sensitive display; at least one processor; and memory including computer program code configured to, working with the at least one processor, cause the computing device to; cause the computing device to enter a first state by launching a first application program, wherein in the first state the first application program is in focus and a first display screen relating to the first application program is displayed on the touch sensitive display that substantially fills the touch sensitive display; and switch the computing device, in response to determining that a translation input meets at least one criterion, from the first state to a second state, wherein the first application program loses focus when the computing device switches from first state to the second state and, in the second state a second display screen is displayed that includes a plurality of user selectable representations of application programs comprising a user selectable representation of the first application program which is based, at least in part, on a screenshot of the first display screen prior to the loss of focus of the first application program. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
