TAB SCRUBBING USING NAVIGATION GESTURES

摘要

The subject matter of this specification can be implemented in, among other things, a method for tab switching. The method includes a step for receiving a multi-finger swipe gesture event for a computing device in a direction corresponding to a list of tabs of a user interface displayed on a screen of the computing device. The method also includes a step for determining a distance of movement corresponding to the received multi-finger swipe gesture. The method also includes a step for determining a next tab for selection from the list of tabs, wherein where a distance from a current tab to the next tab is proportional to the determined distance of movement. The method also includes a step for providing instructions for a graphical update of the user interface, wherein where the graphical update displays contents of a user interface associated with the determined next tab.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method for tab switching, the method comprising:
receiving a multi-finger swipe gesture event for a computing device in a direction corresponding to a list of tabs of a user interface displayed on a screen of the computing device; determining a distance of movement corresponding to the received multi-finger swipe gesture; determining a next tab for selection from the list of tabs based on the determined distance of movement and a speed of the multi-finger swipe gesture, wherein a distance along the list of tabs from a current tab to the next tab is based on the determined distance of movement and the speed of the multi-finger swipe gesture; and providing instructions for a graphical update of the user interface, wherein the graphical update displays contents of a user interface associated with the determined next tab.
