First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method for processing to actions, the method comprising:
- detecting, on a touch interface of an electronic device, a first touch action and a subsequent second touch action;
determining an initiation location and a completion location on the touch interface for each of the first and second touch actions, wherein the initiation location of the first touch action and the completion location of the first touch action on the touch interface are different, and wherein the initiation location of the second touch action and the completion location of the second touch action on the touch interface are different;
comparing the completion location of the first touch action and the initiation location of the second touch action;
selecting a command based on the second touch action and whether the completion location of the first touch action is within a threshold distance from the initiation location of the second touch action; and
executing the selected command on the electronic device.

Abstract
A system and method for processing touch actions are provided. A plurality of sequentially performed touch actions including a first touch action and a second touch action are determined on a touch interface of an electronic device. An initiation location and a completion location of each of the first and second touch actions are determined on the touch interface. A command is selected based on the determined completion location of the first touch action, the second touch action, and the determined initiation location of the second touch action. The selected command is executed on the electronic device.

11. A non-transitory machine-readable medium storing executable instructions, which when executed by a processor cause the processor to perform a method comprising:
-
detecting, on a touch interface of an electronic device, a first touch action and a subsequent second touch action; determining an initiation location and a completion location on the touch interface for each of the first and second touch actions, wherein the initiation location of the first touch action and the completion location of the first touch action on the touch interface are different, and wherein the initiation location of the second touch action and the completion location of the second touch action on the touch interface are different; comparing the initiation location of the first touch action and the initiation location of the second touch action; comparing an action type of the first touch action and an action type of the second touch action; comparing the completion location of the first touch action and the initiation location of the second touch action; selecting a command based on the second touch action and whether the completion location of the first touch action is within a threshold distance from the initiation location of the second touch action; and executing the selected command on the electronic device. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. An electronic device comprising:
-
a touch interface; a processor; a memory containing executable instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to; detect, on the touch interface, a first touch action and a subsequent second touch action; determine an initiation location and a completion location on the touch interface for each of the first and second touch actions, wherein the initiation location of the first touch action and the completion location of the first touch action on the touch interface are different, and wherein the initiation location of the second touch action and the completion location of the second touch action on the touch interface are different; compare the completion location of the first touch action and the initiation location of the second touch action; select a command based on the second touch action and whether the completion location of the first touch action is within a threshold distance from the initiation location of the second touch action; and executing the selected command on the electronic device. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
