CONFIDENT ITEM SELECTION USING DIRECT MANIPULATION

摘要

A user interface element and a visual indicator are displayed to show both a current selected area that tracks a user's touch input and an indication of any items that are considered to be selected (the potential selection). The user interface element (e.g. a border) is displayed whose size may be adjusted by a user using touch input to select more/fewer items. An item visual indicator is displayed for items that are considered to be a potential selection (e.g. items that would be selected if the touch input were to end at the current time). The item visual indicator is configured to show the user an indication of currently selected items without the border appearing to jump in response to another item being selected/deselected. The item visual indicator helps to avoid the need for a user to re-adjust the selection or get unexpected results.
