Method, apparatus, and computer program product for implementing a variable content movable control
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving an indication that a movable control is located at a second position along a defined path on a touch screen display, wherein a first position, the second position, and at least a third position are defined along the defined path such that the movable control being located at the first position causes first content associated with the first position to be presented and the movable control being located at the third position causes a transition from a locked mode to an unlocked mode; and
in response to at least receiving the indication that the movable control is located at the second position, causing second content associated with the second position to be presented on the touch screen display, wherein the second content is of a predefined content type and content of the predefined content type is configured to be viewable in the locked mode, the configuration being initiated in the unlocked mode by a user;
wherein the first content and second content are caused to be presented prior to the transition from the locked mode to the unlocked mode, and wherein the first content and second content are of different content types.
