Method and apparatus for processing data based on touch events on a touch sensitive device
First Claim
1. A method for processing data based on touch events on a touch sensitive device, the method comprising:
- detecting a first touch event indicating a selection of a value for an attribute using a touch input device from a first portion of a touch sensitive display screen of the touch sensitive device;
detecting a second touch event indicating a change in position of the touch input device from the first portion to a second portion of the touch sensitive display screen of the touch sensitive device; and
in response to detecting the second touch event, determining a query for searching a database based on the value for the attribute;
receiving a data record comparison command invoked by a detected movement by an object or a finger of a person on the touch sensitive device, wherein the detected movement comprises a union command, an intersection command, a difference command, a show all command, a descending sort command, or an ascending sort command, and a shape or pattern of the detected movement determines the comparison command; and
executing the data record comparison command.

Abstract
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to a technique for processing data based on touch events on a touch sensitive device. A first touch event is detected indicating a selection of a value for an attribute using a touch input device from a first portion of a touch sensitive display screen of the touch sensitive device. A second touch event is detected indicating a change in position of the touch input device from the first portion to a second portion of the touch sensitive display screen of the touch sensitive device. In response to detecting the second touch event, a query is determined for searching a database based on the value for the attribute.

8. An apparatus for processing data based on touch events on a touch sensitive device, the apparatus comprising:
-
at least one processor configured to; detect a first touch event indicating a selection of a value for an attribute using a touch input device from a first portion of a touch sensitive display screen of the touch sensitive device, detect a second touch event indicating a change in position of the touch input device from the first portion to a second portion of the touch sensitive display screen of the touch sensitive device, determine a query for searching a database based on the value for the attribute in response to detecting the second touch event, receive a data record comparison command invoked by a detected movement by an object or a finger of a person on the touch sensitive device, wherein the detected movement comprises a union command, an intersection command, a difference command, a show all command, a descending sort command, or an ascending sort command, and a shape or pattern of the detected movement determines the comparison command, and execute the data record comparison command; and a memory coupled to the at least one processor. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A computer-program product for processing data based on touch events on a touch sensitive device, the computer-program product comprising:
a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising code configured to cause the touch sensitive device to; detect a first touch event indicating a selection of a value for an attribute using a touch input device from a first portion of a touch sensitive display screen of the touch sensitive device, detect a second touch event indicating a change in position of the touch input device from the first portion to a second portion of the touch sensitive display screen of the touch sensitive device, in response to detecting the second touch event, determine a query for searching a database based on the value for the attribute, receive a data record comparison command invoked by a detected movement by an object or a finger of a person on the touch sensitive device, wherein the detected movement comprises a union command, an intersection command, a difference command, a show all command, a descending sort command, or an ascending sort command, and a shape or pattern of the detected movement determines the comparison command, and execute the data record comparison command. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
