Methods and devices enable users of electronic devices to temporarily move a program guide to view an underlying image by executing a recognizable touch movement on a touchscreen display. When a program guide or other menu is activated, a processor of the device may monitor touches to the display for recognizable movements, such as horizontal, linear or other shaped paths. Upon recognizing a touch event movement that corresponds to the program guide hide function, the processor may cause the program guide to slide to the left, right, up or down, or to disappear in order to reveal the underlying video program. When the device processor detects an end to the touch event, the processor returns the program guide to its original position on the display. Movements of the program guide may be animated on the display. The devices may be mobile television receivers and the video may be broadcast programs. |
