TL;DR: In this paper, 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, applying one or several heuristics to the finger contacts to determine a command for the device, and processing the command.

TL;DR: The type of information in metadata for one type of file differs from the type of metadata for another type of a file as discussed by the authors, and the metadata from files created by several different software applications are captured and the captured metadata is searched.

TL;DR: In this paper, a portable electronic device displays a plurality of icons (e.g., graphical objects) in a region in a touch-sensitive display; detects a predefined user action, with respect to the touch sensitive display, for initiating an interface reconfiguration process.

TL;DR: In this article, a portable communication device with multi-touch input detects one or more multitouch contacts and motions and performs one-touch operations on an object based on the contacts and/or motions, such that the object has a resolution that is less than a pre-determined threshold when the operation is performed on the object, and the object's resolution is greater than the threshold at other times.

TL;DR: In this article, a plurality of icons are displayed on a touch-sensitive display and a respective icon in at least a subset of the plurality of symbols corresponds to two or more symbols.
