Electronic device and method of displaying information in response to detecting a gesture
View Patent ↗A gesture is detected by an electronic device including a display. In response to detecting a first part of the gesture, a first part of first information is displayed on the display. In response to detecting a second part of the gesture subsequent to the first part of the gesture, the display of the first part of the first information is maintained. In response to detecting a third part of the gesture subsequent to the second part of the gesture, an additional part of the information is displayed.
1. A method comprising:
presenting a list of messages on a display of an electronic device, the messages managed by a messaging application executing on the electronic device;
detecting a gesture performed on the display;
in response to detecting the gesture, scrolling the list of messages and displaying at least one calendar event on the display and a reduced list of the messages, the at least one calendar event managed by a calendar application executing on the electronic device;
detecting continuation of the gesture after displaying the at least one calendar event and the reduced list of messages; and
when continuation of the gesture meets a threshold, displaying additional calendar events adjacent to the at least one calendar event on the display of the electronic device.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the list of messages comprises a most-recent message presented adjacent to a first side of a banner indicating at least one of a date and time and the at least one calendar event is presented adjacent to a second side of the banner.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising in response to detecting a second gesture, scrolling the list of messages and displaying at least one missed call on the display and a reduced list of the messages, the at least missed call managed by a caller application executing on the electronic device.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising in response to detecting a second gesture, scrolling the list of messages and displaying at least one task and a reduced list of the messages, the at least one task managed by a task application executing on the electronic device.
5. An electronic device, comprising:
memory storing program instructions that when executed by a processor, cause the electronic device to:
present a list of messages on a display of the electronic device, the messages managed by a messaging application executing on the electronic device;
detect a gesture performed on the display;
in response to detecting the gesture, scroll the list of messages and display at least one calendar event on the display and a reduced list of the messages, the at least one calendar event managed by a calendar application executing on the electronic device;
detect continuation of the gesture after displaying the at least one calendar event and the reduced list of messages; and
when continuation of the gesture meets a threshold, display additional calendar events adjacent to the at least one calendar event on the display of the electronic device.
6. A non-transitory memory medium storing program instructions, that when executed by a processor, cause an electronic device to:
present a list of messages on a display of the electronic device, the messages managed by a messaging application executing on the electronic device;
detect a gesture performed on the display;
in response to detecting the gesture, scroll the list of messages and display at least one calendar event on the display and a reduced list of the messages, the at least one calendar event managed by a calendar application executing on the electronic device;
detect continuation of the gesture after displaying the at least one calendar event and the reduced list of messages; and
when continuation of the gesture meets a threshold, display additional calendar events adjacent to the at least one calendar event on the display of the electronic device.
