Stamp Gestures
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- recognizing a first input as selecting an object displayed by a display device;
recognizing a second input as indicating a location in a user interface outside a boundary of the object and as occurring while the object is selected; and
identifying a stamp gesture from the recognized first and second inputs, the stamp gesture effective to cause a display of a copy of the object at the location in the image.

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.

10. A method comprising:
-
recognizing a first input as selecting an object in a user interface displayed by a display device and indicating an orientation of the object; recognizing a second input as indicating a location in the user interface outside a boundary of the object and as occurring while the object is selected; and identifying a stamp gesture from the recognized first and second inputs, the stamp gesture effective to cause a display of a copy of the object at the location in the user interface that matches the orientation of the object. - View Dependent Claims (11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. One or more computer-readable media comprising instructions that are executable by a computing device to cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:
-
recognizing a first input as selecting an object in an user interface displayed by a display device; recognizing a second input as a tap at a first location in the user interface outside a boundary of the object, the tap recognized as occurring while the object is selected; identifying a first stamp gesture from the recognized first and second inputs, the stamp gesture effective to cause a display of a copy of the object at the first location in the user interface; recognizing a third input as a tap at a second location in the user interface outside the boundary of the object, the tap recognized as occurring while the object is selected; and identifying a second stamp gesture from the recognized first and third inputs, the second stamp gesture effective to cause a display of a copy of the object at the second location in the user interface. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
