METHOD AND SYTEM FOR DUPLICATING AN OBJECT USING A TOUCH-SENSITIVE DISPLAY
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for duplicating an object using a touch-sensitive display, the method comprising:
- displaying a selected first object on the touch-sensitive display;
detecting a first user interaction and a second user interaction on the selected first object;
detecting a movement of the first user interaction outside the selected first object;
displaying a second object which tracks the movement of the first user interaction on the touch-sensitive display, the second object being a duplication of the first object; and
positioning the second object according to a last detected location of the first user interaction on the touch-sensitive display.
