Push-pull type gestures
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- recognizing a push gesture away from a cursor object displayed by a display device;
displaying an assisted location object to assist a user in repositioning the cursor object;
recognizing a prompt gesture effective to cause a prompt object having one or more options to be displayed, each of the one or more options being selectable to initiate a function that is operable using the cursor object;
recognizing a motion select gesture that selects one of the one or more options effective to replace the prompt object and initiate a function corresponding to the selected said option;
automatically dividing selected text into a plurality of vertical sections that are individually selectable to include or exclude when performing a subsequent function; and
performing the subsequent function applied to one or more of the plurality of vertical sections that are selected to be included as inputs to the subsequent function.

Abstract
Techniques for push-pull type gestures are described. In embodiments, a push gesture away from a cursor object that is displayed by a display device is recognized. An assisted location object is then displayed to assist a user in repositioning the cursor object based on the push gesture. In implementations, a prompt gesture is recognized effective to cause a prompt object having one or more options to be displayed. The options that are displayed are selectable to initiate a function that is operable using the cursor object. In addition, a motion select gesture that selects one of the options is recognized effective to replace the prompt object and initiate a function corresponding to the selected option. Also, selected text is automatically divided into a plurality of vertical sections that are individually selectable to include or exclude when performing a subsequent function, and then the subsequent function is performed.

12. A system comprising:
-
a memory configured to store a gesture module as computer-readable instructions; and one or more processors to implement the gesture module that is configured to; receive a prompt gesture effective to initiate a display of a command prompt having one or more selectable objects that each represent an action that is performable using a cursor; receive a motion select gesture that selects a first object of the one or more selectable objects effective to replace the display of the command prompt and initiate a first action represented by the selected first object, the prompt gesture and the motion select gesture being received without interruption between inputs; and receive an additional motion select gesture that selects a second object of the one or more selectable objects representing a second action that is different than the first action, the additional motion select gesture effective to cause the second object to replace the first object and initiate the second action. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A non-transitory computer readable storage memory comprising stored instructions that, responsive to execution by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
-
presenting an assisted location object based on recognition of a push gesture that pushes away from a cursor object displayed by a display device, the assisted location object configured to assist a user in repositioning the cursor object; presenting a prompt object having one or more selectable options based on recognition of a prompt gesture, the one or more selectable options being selectable to initiate a function; recognizing a motion select gesture that selects one said option from the one or more selectable options; replacing the prompt object with the selected said option; initiating the function that corresponds to the selected said option; automatically dividing selected text into a plurality of vertical sections that are individually selectable to include or exclude when performing a subsequent function; and performing the subsequent function applied to one or more of the plurality of vertical sections that are selected to be included as inputs to the subsequent function. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
