Copy and staple gestures
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method performed on a computing device, the method comprising:
- recognizing a first touch input as selecting a first object displayed on a display device;
recognizing a second touch input subsequent to the first input as a hold on a second object displayed on a display device;
recognizing a third touch input as a tap on the second object during the hold on the second object; and
identifying a staple gesture from the recognized first, second, and third touch inputs, the staple gesture effective to cause a collated display of the first object beneath the second object on the display device, where the collated display further comprises an indication that the first and second objects in the collated display are stapled together.

Abstract
Techniques involving gestures and other functionality are described. In one or more implementations, the techniques describe gestures that are usable to provide inputs to a computing device. A variety of different gestures are contemplated, including bimodal gestures (e.g., using more than one type of input) and single modal gestures. Additionally, the gesture techniques may be configured to leverage these different input types to increase the amount of gestures that are made available to initiate operations of a computing device.

8. A system comprising:
-
a display device on which the system is configured to display a first object, a second object, and a third object; a touch screen on which the system is configured to; recognize a first touch input as selecting the first object displayed on the display device, recognize a second touch input subsequent to the first input as a hold on the second object displayed on the display device, and recognize a third touch input as a tap on the second object during the hold on the second object; and at least one processor via which the system is configured to identify a staple gesture from the recognized first, second, and third touch inputs, the staple gesture effective to cause a collated display of the first object beneath the second object on the display device, where the collated display further comprises an indication that the first and second objects in the collated display are stapled together. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. At least one hardware computer-readable medium that comprises computer-executable instructions that, based on execution by a computing device, configure the computing device to perform actions comprising:
-
recognizing a first touch input as selecting a first object displayed on a display device; recognizing a second touch input subsequent to the first input as a hold on a second object displayed on the display device; recognizing a third touch input as a tap on the second object during the hold on the second object; and identifying a staple gesture from the recognized first, second, and third touch inputs, the staple gesture effective to cause a collated display of the first object beneath the second object on the display device, where the collated display further comprises an indication that the first and second objects in the collated display are stapled together. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
