METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR INTERACTING WITH A TOUCH SCREEN

摘要

Disclosed is a system, method, and non-transitory computer readable storage medium for monitoring a user interface for a gesture, determining whether the gesture is exerting pressure on a screen of a computing device, when the gesture is exerting pressure on the screen, determining whether the pressure is above a threshold amount of pressure, when the pressure is above the threshold, previewing a content item in a series of content items, monitoring the user interface for a second gesture, determining whether the second gesture is traversing pixels in a predetermined direction on the screen, upon determining that the second gesture is traversing pixels, further determining whether the traversal meets a threshold number of traversed pixels, and when the traversal meets the threshold, displaying a subsequent content item in the series.

1. A method comprising:
monitoring, by a processor of a computing device, a user interface for a gesture; determining, by the processor, whether the gesture comprises exerting pressure on a touch screen of the computing device; when the gesture is exerting pressure on the screen, determining, by the processor, whether the pressure is above a threshold amount of pressure; when the pressure is above the threshold, previewing, by the processor, a content item in a series of content items; monitoring, by the processor, the user interface for a second gesture; determining, by the processor, whether the second gesture is traversing pixels in a predetermined direction on the touch screen; upon determining that the second gesture is traversing pixels in the predetermined direction, further determining whether the traversal meets a threshold number of traversed pixels; when the traversal meets the threshold, displaying a subsequent content item in the series of content items.
