SYSTEM, METHOD AND USER INTERFACE FOR GESTURE-BASED SCHEDULING OF COMPUTER TASKS

摘要

Disclosed are systems, methods, computer program products, and graphical user interfaces for gesture-based scheduling execution of computer tasks. In one aspect of the invention, a system for scheduling execution of computer tasks detects a user's selection of a user interface (UI) element on a display of a user device and captures a user's gesture following the selection of the UI element. The system then recognizes the captured gesture as an indication of scheduling of a delayed execution of a computer task associated with the selected UI element and calculates a time delay for execution of the computer task based on the captured gesture. The system then schedules a delayed execution of the computer task associated with the selected UI element based on the calculated time delay.
