Abstract

Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for two-finger gestures. In one aspect there is provided a method, which may include detecting a single-finger gesture proximate to a user interface; tracking the detected single-finger gesture to determine whether the detected single-finger gesture corresponds to a substantially circular motion; providing a first indication for presentation on the user interface, the first indication indicating at least a first selection on the user interface, when the detected single-finger gesture represents the substantially circular motion; detecting a two-finger gesture proximate to the user interface; tracking the detected two-finger gesture to determine whether the detected two-finger gesture corresponds to the substantially circular motion; and providing a second indication for presentation on the user interface, the second indication indicating at least a second selection on the user interface, when the detected two-finger gesture represents the substantially circular motion.

Claims (45)

1 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing instructions to configure at least one processor to cause operations comprising:

detecting a single-finger gesture proximate to a user interface;

tracking the detected single-finger gesture to determine whether the detected single-finger gesture corresponds to a substantially circular motion;

providing a first indication for presentation on the user interface, the first indication indicating at least a first selection on the user interface, when the detected single-finger gesture represents the substantially circular motion;

detecting a two-finger gesture proximate to the user interface;

tracking the detected two-finger gesture to determine whether the detected two-finger gesture corresponds to the substantially circular motion; and

providing a second indication for presentation on the user interface, the second indication indicating at least a second selection on the user interface, when the detected two-finger gesture represents the substantially circular motion.

2 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the user interface includes a first ring including a first set of items, wherein the first selection selects at least one of the first set of items.

3 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 2 , wherein the user interface includes a second ring including a second set of items, wherein the second selection selects at least one of the second set of items.

4 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 3 , wherein the first set of data items and the second set of data items comprise interrelated data.

5 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 3 , wherein the interrelated data comprises at least one of time information and calendar information.

6 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the tracking of the detected two-finger gesture further comprises:

determining when the detected two-finger gesture represents a predetermined increment of rotation.

7 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 6 further comprising:

providing an updated to the user interface based on the predetermined increment of rotation.

8 . A system comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one memory including computer program code which when executed by the at least one processor causes operations comprising:

detecting a single-finger gesture proximate to a user interface;

tracking the detected single-finger gesture to determine whether the detected single-finger gesture corresponds to a substantially circular motion;

providing a first indication for presentation on the user interface, the first indication indicating at least a first selection on the user interface, when the detected single-finger gesture represents the substantially circular motion;

detecting a two-finger gesture proximate to the user interface;

tracking the detected two-finger gesture to determine whether the detected two-finger gesture corresponds to the substantially circular motion; and

providing a second indication for presentation on the user interface, the second indication indicating at least a second selection on the user interface, when the detected two-finger gesture represents the substantially circular motion.

9 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the user interface includes a first ring including a first set of items, wherein the first selection selects at least one of the first set of items.

10 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the user interface includes a second ring including a second set of items, wherein the second selection selects at least one of the second set of items.

11 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the first set of data items and the second set of data items comprise interrelated data.

12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the interrelated data comprises at least one of time information and calendar information.

13 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the tracking of the detected two-finger gesture further comprises:

determining when the detected two-finger gesture represents a predetermined increment of rotation.

14 . The system of claim 13 further comprising:

providing an updated to the user interface based on the predetermined increment of rotation.

15 . A method comprising:

detecting a single-finger gesture proximate to a user interface;

tracking the detected single-finger gesture to determine whether the detected single-finger gesture corresponds to a substantially circular motion;

providing a first indication for presentation on the user interface, the first indication indicating at least a first selection on the user interface, when the detected single-finger gesture represents the substantially circular motion;

detecting a two-finger gesture proximate to the user interface;

tracking the detected two-finger gesture to determine whether the detected two-finger gesture corresponds to the substantially circular motion; and

providing a second indication for presentation on the user interface, the second indication indicating at least a second selection on the user interface, when the detected two-finger gesture represents the substantially circular motion.

16 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the user interface includes a first ring including a first set of items, wherein the first selection selects at least one of the first set of items.

17 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the user interface includes a second ring including a second set of items, wherein the second selection selects at least one of the second set of items.

18 . The method of claim 17 , wherein the first set of data items and the second set of data items comprise interrelated data.

19 . The method of claim 18 , wherein the interrelated data comprises at least one of time information and calendar information.

20 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the tracking of the detected two-finger gesture further comprises:

determining when the detected two-finger gesture represents a predetermined increment of rotation.
