Methods and systems for processing touch inputs are disclosed. The invention in one respect includes reading data from a multipoint sensing device such as a multipoint touch screen where the data pertains to touch input with respect to the multipoint sensing device, and identifying at least one multipoint gesture based on the data from the multipoint sensing device.

Gestures for touch sensitive input devices

A computer-implemented method for use in conjunction with a computing device with a touch screen display comprises: detecting one or more finger contacts with the touch screen display, applying one or more heuristics to the one or more finger contacts to determine a command for the device, and processing the command. The one or more heuristics comprise: a heuristic for determining that the one or more finger contacts correspond to a one- dimensional vertical screen scrolling command, a heuristic for determining that the one or more finger contacts correspond to a two-dimensional screen translation command, and a heuristic for determining that the one or more finger contacts correspond to a command to transition from displaying a respective item in a set of items to displaying a next item in the set of items.

Touch screen device, method, and graphical user interface for determining commands by applying heuristics

Provided herein are methods and systems relating to location-based services such as social networking, providing demographic information, tracking mobile devices, providing business information, providing an adaptable user interface, remotely effecting a change on a portable electronic device, providing a geofence, outputting location-based information on a mobile device, varying transmissions to and from a mobile device, providing location-based alerts, verifying transactions and tailoring information to the behavior of a user.

Location-based services

A system for integrating video programming with the vast information resources of the Internet. A computer-based system receives a video program with embedded uniform resource locators (URLs). The URLs, the effective addresses of locations or Web sites on the Internet, are interpreted by the system and direct the system to the Web site locations to retrieve related Web pages. Upon receipt of the Web pages by the system, the Web pages are synchronized to the video content for display. The video program signal can be displayed on a video window on a conventional personal computer screen. The actual retrieved Web pages are time stamped to also be displayed, on another portion of the display screen, when predetermined related video content is displayed in the video window. As an alternative, the computer-based system receives the URLs directly through an Internet connection, at times specified by TV broadcasters in advance. The system interprets the URLs and retrieves the appropriate Web pages. The Web pages are synchronized to the video content for display in conjunction with a television program being broadcast to the user at that time. This alternative system allows the URLs to be entered for live transmission to the user.

Newness and distinctiveness is claimed in the features of ornamentation as shown inside the broken line circle in the accompanying representation.

Display screen or portion thereof with graphical user interface

A portable electronic device, comprising: a touch screen display; one or more processors; memory; and one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs are stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for: displaying at least a portion of a structured electronic document on the touch screen display, wherein the structured electronic document comprises a plurality of boxes of content; detecting a first gesture at a location on the displayed portion of the structured electronic document; determining a first box in the plurality of boxes at the location of the first gesture, the first box having a first size; enlarging and translating the structured electronic document so that the first box is substantially centered on the touch screen display at a second size greater than the first size; while the first box is enlarged, detecting a second gesture on the enlarged first box; and in response to detecting the second gesture, reducing in size the displayed portion of the structured electronic document.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a more transparent and intuitive user interface for a portable device for enabling a user to configure the user interface.SOLUTION: A portable electronic device displays a plurality of icons (for example, graphical objects) in an area of a touch-sensitive display, detects a predetermined user action on the touch-sensitive display in order to start a predetermined user interface reconfiguration process, and in response to detection of the predetermined user action, changes the positions of one or more icons of the plurality of icons. The changing includes changing the positions of one or more icons with the average position of the icons as the center.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4

Techniques and systems for centralized access to multimedia content stored on or available to a computing device are disclosed. The centralized access can be provided by a media control interface that receives user inputs and interacts with media programs resident on the computing device to produce graphical user interfaces that can be presented on a display device.

Des services destines a un dispositif electronique personnel sont fournis, grâce a quoi une forme de traitement en arriere-plan ou de traitement multitâche est prise en charge. Les services decrits permettent a des applications utilisateur de tirer profit du traitement en arriere-plan sans consequences negatives significatives infligees a l'experience utilisateur du traitement en avant-plan ou aux ressources en alimentation du dispositif electronique personnel. Pour effectuer le traitement multitâche decrit, une ou plusieurs d'un certain nombre de restrictions operationnelles peuvent etre imposees. Une consequence de telles restrictions peut etre qu'un processus ne pourra pas se derouler dans un etat en arriere-plan, alors qu'il pourrait se derouler s'il etait dans l'etat en avant-plan. La mise en œuvre des services decrits peut etre sensiblement transparente vis-a-vis des applications utilisateur qui s'executent et, dans certains cas, elle peut s'executer sans cooperation explicite d'une application utilisateur.
