Abstract

A tumbler-style graphical user interfaces (TSGUI) facilitates high context rapid selection of content objects from at least tumbler components. Selection of content objects can relate to a path for a memory to access a related final information. The TSGUI can be employed in mobile computing devices, including telephonic mobile computing devices. Optionally, a TSGUI of a mobile device can facilitate access to content in relation to messaging applications native to the mobile device.

Claims (45)

1. A system, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:

populating a tumbler of a tumbler-style graphical user interface using a hierarchical presentation with a plurality of first objects and displaying a first object of the plurality of first objects in a position indicating that it is being selected, wherein the tumbler is populated based on user input data received by the system;

receiving input data indicating the removal of a second object from the plurality of first objects;

facilitating a display of the plurality of first objects in the tumbler with the second object removed;

receiving input data that aligns a third object of the plurality of first objects in a position that indicates that the third object is being selected, wherein one or more other first objects of the plurality of first objects remain on the tumbler-style graphical user interface;

receiving input data that confirms the selection of the third object; and

in response to determining that the third object has been selected and based on metadata associated with the plurality of first objects, repopulating the tumbler by replacing the plurality of first objects with a plurality of second objects, wherein the plurality of second objects includes one or more of the objects of the plurality of first objects.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the metadata is first metadata and the operations further comprise:

organizing the plurality of second objects based on second metadata associated with the plurality of second objects.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving input data that selects a fourth object of the plurality of second objects; and

facilitating a transmission of the fourth object to a remote device.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the facilitating comprises facilitating the transmission via a text message.

5. The system of claim 3 , wherein the receiving comprises receiving input data that aligns the fourth object with an indicator.

6. The system of claim 3 , wherein the receiving comprises receiving input data that highlights the fourth object.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise:

sorting the plurality of second objects based on temporal data associated with the plurality of second objects.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the populating comprises populating the tumbler with the plurality of first objects in response to receiving first selection data.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the repopulating comprises repopulating the tumbler by replacing the plurality of first objects with the plurality of second objects in response to receiving second selection data.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the repopulating comprises repopulating the tumbler by replacing the plurality of first objects with the plurality of second objects in response to determining that a validity criterion associated with the plurality of second objects has been satisfied.

11. A method, comprising:

facilitating, by a system comprising a processor, a first presentation of a plurality of first objects within a tumbler of a tumbler-style graphical user interface using an ordered presentation and based on previously received user input data, wherein the presentation includes a first object of the plurality of first objects in a position indicating that the first object is being selected;

receiving input data indicating the removal of a second object from the plurality of first objects; and

facilitating a display of the plurality of first objects in the tumbler with the second object removed;

receiving input data that aligns a third object of the plurality of first objects in a position that indicates that the third object is being selected, wherein one or more other first objects of the plurality of first objects remain on the tumbler-style graphical user interface;

receiving input data that confirms the selection of the third object; and

in response to determining that the third object has been selected and based on metadata associated with the plurality of first objects, facilitating, by the system, a second presentation of a plurality of second objects, wherein the plurality of second objects includes one or more of the objects of the plurality of first objects.

12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

sorting, by the system, the plurality of second objects based on classification data associated with the plurality of second objects.

13. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

sorting, by the system, the plurality of second objects based on timing data associated with the plurality of second objects.

14. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

inserting, by the system, a fourth object of the plurality of second objects into a text message determined by a text messaging application.

15. The method of claim 11 , wherein the facilitating the first presentation comprises facilitating the first presentation in response to receiving first selection data and the facilitating the second presentation comprises facilitating the second presentation in response to receiving second selection data.

16. A machine-readable storage medium comprising executable instructions that, in response to execution, cause a mobile device comprising a processor, to perform operations, comprising:

facilitating a display of a plurality of first objects within a tumbler of a tumbler-style graphical user interface using an ordered presentation and based on previously received user input data, wherein the presentation includes a first object of the plurality of first objects in a position indicating that the first object is being selected;

receiving input data indicating the removal of a second object from the plurality of first objects; and

facilitating a display of the plurality of first objects in the tumbler with the second object removed;

receiving input data that aligns a third object of the plurality of first objects in a position that indicates that the third object is being selected, wherein one or more other first objects of the plurality of first objects remain on the tumbler-style graphical user interface;

receiving input data that confirms the selection of the third object; and

in response to determining that the third object has been selected and based on metadata associated with the plurality of first objects, determining a plurality of second objects that are to be displayed within the tumbler, wherein the plurality of second objects includes one or more of the objects of the plurality of first objects.

17. The machine-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the operations further comprise:

based on historical data, highlighting a fourth object of the plurality of second objects.
