APPLICATION SWITCHING ON MOBILE DEVICES

摘要

For application switching, a system, apparatus, method, and computer program product are disclosed. The apparatus, in one embodiment, includes a display, an input module that monitors user input for a switching command, an axis module that determines whether the switching command is along a first axis or along a second axis, the first axis being orthogonal to the second axis, and a switching module that presents a next application on the display in response to the switching command being along the first axis and that presents a next instance of a current application on the display in response to the switching command being along the second axis. In certain embodiments, the first axis comprises a vertical axis with respect to the display and the second axis comprises a horizontal axis with respect to the display.
