Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Manipulating Application Windows

摘要

Many electronic devices have graphical user interfaces that use applications windows. Because a user may use one or more instances of a particular application or multiple applications at once, application windows are useful tools for organizing items stored in electronic devices and using features provided by various applications. A user may need to manipulate, organize, configure and/or resize application windows. Some methods for manipulating, organizing, configuring and/or resizing application windows require a sequence of user inputs that navigate in a menu system. For example, with these methods, a user may need to select a user interface object in display a menu and/or perform one or more actions on the selected user interface object associated with one or more application windows. The various methods disclosed herein streamline manipulating, organizing, configuring and/or resizing application windows.
