Abstract

For rapid notification login, code displays a process proxy and a swipe input geometry adjacent to the process proxy on a touch screen display. In addition, the code activates a process associated with the process proxy in response to a continuous swipe over the process proxy and a preset geometry on the swipe input geometry on the touch screen display.

Claims (28)

1. An apparatus comprising:

a touch screen display;

a processor;

a memory that stores code executable by the processor to display a process proxy and a swipe input geometry adjacent to the process proxy on the touch screen display; and

activate a process associated with the process proxy in response to a continuous swipe over both the process proxy and a preset geometry on the swipe input geometry on the touch screen display and does not activate the process in response to the continuous swipe moving over the swipe input geometry and not moving directly over the touch screen display between the process proxy and the swipe input geometry.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the continuous swipe is first over the process proxy and second over the swipe input geometry.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the continuous swipe is first over the swipe input geometry and second over the process proxy.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the preset geometry is selected from the group consisting of a pattern, an image, and one or more alphanumeric characters.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the memory further comprises code executable by the processor to set the preset geometry by receiving the continuous swipe over the process proxy and the swipe input geometry on the touch screen display.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the continuous swipe moves directly over the touch screen display between the process proxy and the swipe input geometry.

7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the process proxy is a notification icon and the process is a notification.

8. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the process proxy is an incoming communication icon and the process is a communication application.

9. A method comprising:

displaying, by use of a processor, a process proxy and a swipe input geometry adjacent to the process proxy on a touch screen display; and

activating a process associated with the process proxy in response to a continuous swipe over both the process proxy and a preset geometry on the swipe input geometry on the touch screen display and does not activate the process in response to the continuous swipe moving over the swipe input geometry and not moving directly over the touch screen display between the process proxy and the swipe input geometry.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the continuous swipe is first over the process proxy and second over the swipe input geometry.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the continuous swipe is first over the swipe input geometry and second over the process proxy.

12. The method of claim 9 , wherein the preset geometry is selected from the group consisting of an image, a picture, and one or more alphanumeric characters.

13. The method of claim 9 , the method further comprising setting the preset geometry by receiving the continuous swipe over the process proxy and the swipe input geometry on the touch screen display.

14. The method of claim 9 , wherein the continuous swipe moves directly over the touch screen display between the process proxy and the swipe input geometry.

15. A program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium that stores code executable by a processor, the executable code comprising code to perform:

displaying a process proxy and a swipe input geometry adjacent to the process proxy on a touch screen display; and

activating a process associated with the process proxy in response to a continuous swipe over both the process proxy and a preset geometry on the swipe input geometry on the touch screen display and does not activate the process in response to the continuous swipe moving over the swipe input geometry and not moving directly over the touch screen display between the process proxy and the swipe input geometry.

16. The program product of claim 15 , wherein the continuous swipe is first over the process proxy and second over the swipe input geometry.

17. The program product of claim 15 , wherein the continuous swipe is first over the swipe input geometry and second over the process proxy.

18. The program product of claim 15 , wherein the preset geometry is selected from the group consisting of a pattern, a picture, and one or more alphanumeric characters.

19. The program product of claim 15 , the code further setting the preset geometry by receiving the continuous swipe over the process proxy and the swipe input geometry on the touch screen display.

20. The program product of claim 15 , wherein the continuous swipe moves directly over the touch screen display between the process proxy and the swipe input geometry.
