US Classification:
715702, 715790, 715768, 715810
Abstract:
An approach is provided that receives a request from a user while a system is in a desktop environment, such as windowing computer interface. The desktop environment includes graphical user interface elements, such as standard icons, that are not optimized for touch-enabled input by the user from a touch-enabled display screen. When a request, such as a gesture is received at the touch-enabled display screen, a tiles environment is invoked. The tiles environment include touch-optimized graphical tiles displayed on the display screen that respond when touched by the user. In one embodiment, the tiles environment is an overlay of the desktop environment.

20110029904, Feb 3, 2011
Filed:
Jul 30, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/512778
Inventors:
Adam Miles Smith - Chapel Hill NC, US
Eric Edward Dudkowski - Raleigh NC, US
Matthew P. Lietzke - Cary NC, US
Howard Locker - Cary NC, US
Jeffrey E. Skinner - Raleigh NC, US
Aaron Michael Stewart - Raleigh NC, US
Russell Speight VanBlon - Brentwood NC, US
International Classification:
G06F 3/048
US Classification:
715765, 715771, 715835
Abstract:
An approach is provided that renders graphical user interface (GUI) elements, such as tiles or icons, on display screen. Some of the tiles correspond to software functions. User configurable rendering properties are retrieved that correspond to one of the GUI elements. The configurable rendering properties include a shape property or size property. The selected tile is then rendered on the display screen using the rendering properties. A gesture, directed toward the rendered GUI element, is received at the touch-enabled display screen. If the GUI element corresponds to a software function, the software function is launched in response to one or more of the gestures, such as a “tap” gesture.

International Classification:
G06F 3/048
G06F 3/033
G06F 3/01
US Classification:
715835, 715863, 715702
Abstract:
An approach is provided that receives a gesture from a user with the gesture being directed at a graphical user interface element. The gesture is received by the user at a touch-enabled display screen. Emulated physics properties are retrieved that correspond to the selected graphical user interface element. The system detects a speed and a direction from the received gesture and, based on this information, determines an initial trajectory of the selected graphical user interface element. The initial trajectory is adjusted based on the retrieved emulated physics properties with the movement of the element being rendered on the display screen based upon the adjusted trajectory.
