Method and system for advancing through a sequence of items using a touch-sensitive component
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- outputting, at a display of an electronic device, a first content item in a sequence of content items, wherein the sequence comprises the first content item and a second content item that sequentially follows the first content item in the sequence;
detecting, by a processor of the electronic device, a touch input received at a touch-sensitive component of the electronic device;
identifying, by the processor, a starting location on the touch-sensitive component, wherein the starting location includes a coordinate that corresponds to a location of the touch input; and
enabling a minimized interaction with the touch-sensitive component by a user to move through the sequence of content items, wherein enabling the minimized interaction with the touch-sensitive component comprises;
responsive to detecting that an input stroke continuously applied at the touch-sensitive component has continuously moved from the starting point to a first threshold location in a first direction, outputting, at the display, the second content item in the sequence, the first threshold location corresponding to a coordinate on the touch-sensitive component that is located a first threshold distance away, in a first direction, from the starting location; and
responsive to detecting that the input stroke continuously applied at the touch sensitive component has moved across the first threshold location, reversing an order of display for the sequence of content items.

Abstract
A method includes outputting, at a display of an electronic device, a first content item in a sequence of content items, wherein the sequence comprises the first content item and a second content item that sequentially follows the first content item in the sequence, detecting a touch input received at a touch-sensitive component of the electronic device, and identifying a starting location on the touch-sensitive component, wherein the starting location includes a coordinate that corresponds to a location of the touch input. The method further includes responsive to detecting that an input stroke continuously applied at the touch-sensitive component has continuously moved from the starting point to a first threshold in a first direction, outputting, at the display, the second content item in the sequence, the first threshold location corresponding to a coordinate on the touch-sensitive component that is located a first threshold distance away, in a first direction, from the starting location, and responsive to detecting that the input stroke continuously applied at the touch sensitive component has moved across the first threshold location, reversing an order of display for the sequence of content items.

12. An electronic device, comprising:
-
a display; a processor; a touch-sensitive component; and a memory that stores program instructions that instruct the processor to; output, at the display, a first content item in a sequence of content items, wherein the sequence comprises the first content item and a second content item that sequentially follows the first content item in the sequence; detect a touch input received at the touch-sensitive component; identify a starting location on the touch-sensitive component, wherein the starting location includes a coordinate that corresponds to a location of the touch input; and enable a minimized interaction with the touch-sensitive component by a user to move through the sequence of content items, wherein to enable the minimized interaction with the touch-sensitive component, the processor is further to; responsive to detecting that an input stroke continuously applied at the touch-sensitive component has continuously moved from the starting point to a first threshold in a first direction, output, at the display, the second content item in the sequence, the first threshold location corresponding to a coordinate on the touch-sensitive component that is located a first threshold distance away, in a first direction, from the starting location; and responsive to detecting that the input stroke continuously applied at the touch sensitive component has moved across the first threshold location, reverse an order of display for the sequence of content items. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15)
