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.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a portable electronic device, and more particularly, a portable device for photo management, such as digital photographing, photo editing, and an emailing photo.SOLUTION: A portable electronic device with a touch screen display for photo management is disclosed. One aspect of the invention involves a computer-implemented method in which the portable electronic device displays an array of thumbnail images corresponding to a set of photographic images. The device replaces the displayed array of thumbnail images with a user-selected photographic image upon detecting a user contact with a corresponding thumbnail image in the array. The user-selected photographic image is displayed at a larger scale than the corresponding thumbnail image. The portable device displays a different photographic image in replacement of the user-selected photographic image in accordance with a scrolling gesture. The scrolling gesture comprises a substantially horizontal movement of user contact with the touch screen display.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

umfassend: Anzeigen einer Mehrzahl von Icons auf einer beruhrungsempfindlichen
Anzeigevorrichtung, wobei ein entsprechendes Icon aus wenigstens
einer Teilmenge der Mehrzahl von Icons zu einem oder mehreren Symbolen
korrespondiert; Detektieren eines Kontakts durch einen Benutzer
mit der beruhrungsempfindlichen Anzeigevorrichtung, der
zu denn entsprechenden Icon korrespondiert; Bestimmen eines

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a portable electronic device, especially, a portable device for photograph management such as digital photographing, photographing operation, and photographic electronic mail.SOLUTION: A portable electronic device for displaying an array of thumb nail images corresponding to one set of photographic images displaces the array of the displayed thumb nail images with a photographic image selected by a user when user contact with the corresponding thumb nail image in the array is detected. The photographic image selected by the user is displayed by a scale which is larger than that of the corresponding thumb nail image. The portable device displays a different photographic image according to a scroll operation instead of the photographic image selected by the user. The scroll operation includes substantially horizontal movement of the user contact with a touch screen display.SELECTED DRAWING: None

Cette invention a trait a un procede ainsi qu'au dispositif permettant d'integrer des mini-applications (201) tournant sur un utilisateur a la logique d'application pour applications tournant sur un serveur. Cette invention a deux avantages significatifs par rapport aux realisations existantes, celui de la synchronisation de l'etat ainsi que celui de la reconnaissance d'actions de l'utilisateur dans le navigateur y compris l'appel de la logique d'application pertinente dans le serveur. Au lieu et place de l'element FORM disponible dans HTLM (Hypertext Markup Language), des mini-applications (201) actives individuelles sont disponibles et peuvent etre creees; elles obtiennent l'entree utilisateur (par exemple, une case a cocher, une zone de texte, un bouton, etc.). Une mini-application cryptique nommee Commande de groupe de mini-application (Applet Group Controller) (202) est creee qui prend en charge les communications entre les mini-applications dans le navigateur et la logique d'application dans le serveur. La Commande de groupe de mini-application (202) maintient une association (302) avec chaque mini-application (201) qui maintient les clefs et les valeurs de tout parametre et de toute variable relatifs a la mini-application (201). Dans une realisation preferee, a la suite de l'appel d'un evenement, l'association donne une consigne a un Coordinateur d'action (Action Coordinator) (301) afin qu'il appelle une action. Le Coordinateur d'action (301) obtient une liste de toutes les clefs et de leurs valeurs qu'il transmet au serveur. Ce dernier appelle la logique d'application pertinente et retourne les clefs et leurs valeurs (telles qu'elles ont ete mises a jour durant l'execution de la logique d'application) au Coordinateur d'action (301) qui adresse les valeurs mises a jour aux mini-applications (201) (par le biais de leurs associations (302)) en meme temps que l'afficheur du navigateur est mis a jour avec les nouvelles valeurs.
