Content manipulation using swipe gesture recognition technology

摘要

A method of manipulation of content provided by a hosting server using swipe gesture recognition on a user device having a touch input display. The method includes storing the content, combined with a swipe gesture recognition module to form a content package, on the hosting server. The swipe gesture recognition module is associated with at least one displayable content element of the content. The method further includes receiving, at the hosting server, a request for the content package from the user device and transmitting the content package from the hosting server to the user device for display by an application running on the user device. A defined action is applied to the at least one displayable content element if it is determined that a swipe gesture has occurred on the at least one displayable content element.

1. A method for manipulation of content provided by a hosting server using swipe gesture recognition on a user device having a touch input display, the method comprising:
storing a first uniform resource locator directed to the content, combined with a swipe gesture recognition module defined using a script language, to form an hypertext markup language (HTML) document on the hosting server, wherein the swipe gesture recognition module is associated with an HTML tag and at least one displayable content element within the HTML document and an identifier, the HTML tag comprising the first uniform resource locator, the at least one displayable content element comprising a second uniform resource locator directed to an image stored at a location different from a location of the first uniform resource locator, the swipe gesture recognition module providing at least one symbol or text with the displayable content element indicating to the user that a swipe gesture is necessary; receiving, at the hosting server, a request for the HTML document from the user device via a third uniform resource locator directed to the HTML document; and transmitting the HTML document from the hosting server to the user device for display by a web browser running on the user device, wherein the swipe gesture recognition module is configured to perform swipe gesture recognition on the at least one displayable content element when the HTML document is displayed on the user device by the web browser, the swipe gesture recognition comprising: receiving touch input data from the touch input display of the user device, accessing a swipe gesture determination module stored on the hosting server or a second server to analyze the touch input data to determine whether a swipe gesture has occurred on the at least one displayable content element, applying a defined action to the at least one displayable content element if it is determined based on the analysis of the touch input data that a swipe gesture has occurred on the at least one displayable content element, and repeating the swipe gesture recognition, without applying the defined action to the at least one displayable content element, if it is determined based on the analysis of the touch input data that a swipe gesture has not occurred on the at least one displayable content element.
