TWO STEP CONTENT SELECTION WITH TRAJECTORY COPY

摘要

In a first step of a content selection operation, content can be selected by detecting a freeform trajectory of one or more content selection objects with respect to a computing device. The selection area can be calculated based on the maximum area covered by the trajectory of movement that is detected. The selection area can be limited to the area bounded by the start selection point and ending release point. The content within the selection area can be selected. The “roughly selected” content can be copied into a second display area. All or part of the roughly selected content can be enlarged, enabling precise selection of content in a second selection operation.

主权项

1. A system comprising:
at least one processor: a memory connected to the at least one processor; and a module that when loaded into the at least one processor causes the at least one processor to: select content in a first step of a two step content selection operation based on movement of at least two content selection objects comprising a first content selection object and a second content selection object; and in a second step of the content selection operation, select a subset of the content selected in the first selection operation.
