Application control using a gesture based trigger
Systems and methods for control of application actions using a modification trigger to visually modify an electronic document are disclosed. A computing device, such as a mobile computing device having a touchscreen display, can display an electronic document having a first portion and a second portion. Initially upon displaying the electronic document, the computing device displays the first portion and the second portion may lie out of view, not displayed. A user can swipe along a scroll direction, causing the second portion to be displayed. The second portion can include or otherwise be associated with a modification trigger. Upon receiving a gesture on the second portion, the modification trigger performs actions, including, for example, subscribing to a series of electronic documents and minimizing the visual display of the electronic document.
1. A method comprising:
storing, on a user device, a plurality of full screen panels including a first full screen panel and a second full screen panel, the first full screen panel being navigable to the second full screen panel responsive to a gesture on a touchscreen of the user device, the second full screen panel comprising a request trigger to initiate a network site request to a pre-specified network site;

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the user data includes a user identifier of the user.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the touchscreen gesture is a swipe gesture.
11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second full screen panel is navigated to, from the first full screen panel, in response to receiving at least one of: a tap gesture or a swipe gesture.
12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the request trigger is triggered by code in the second full screen panel.
13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the second full screen panel is initially displayed without executing the code in the second full screen panel.
14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of full screen panels are displayed in a primary application display area of a full screen size.
15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the first full screen panel and the second full screen panel both have a screen size that coincides with the full screen size.
16. The method of claim 1 , wherein the receiving the specified touchscreen gesture comprises receiving, through the touchscreen, the specified touchscreen gesture anywhere within the second full screen panel.
17. The method of claim 1 , wherein the user interface element is displayed at a bottom side of the second full screen panel.
18. The method of claim 1 , wherein the user interface element comprises one or more text items.
19. A system comprising:
one or more processors of a machine;
touchscreen; and
a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:
storing a plurality of full screen panels including a first full screen panel and a second full screen panel, the first full screen panel being navigable to the second full screen panel responsive to a gesture on the touchscreen, the second full screen panel comprising a request trigger to initiate a network site request to a pre-specified network site;
displaying the first full screen panel on the touchscreen;
navigating, on the touchscreen, from the first full screen panel of the plurality of full screen panels to the second full screen panel of the plurality of full screen panels;
activating the request trigger in response to the second full screen panel being displayed, the second full screen panel displaying a user interface element specifying a touchscreen gesture to perform on the second full screen panel to initiate the request trigger;
receiving the specified touchscreen gesture on the second full screen panel while displayed on the touchscreen; and
transmitting, to the pre-specified network site, the network site request in response to receiving the specified touchscreen gesture on the second full screen panel while displayed on the touchscreen.
20. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium embodying instructions that, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:
storing a plurality of full screen panels including a first full screen panel and a second full screen panel, the first full screen panel being navigable to the second full screen panel responsive to a gesture on a touchscreen, the second full screen panel comprising a request trigger to initiate a network site request to a pre-specified network site;
displaying the first full screen panel on the touchscreen;
navigating, on the touchscreen, from the first full screen panel of the plurality of full screen panels to the second full screen panel of the plurality of full screen panels;
activating the request trigger in response to the second full screen panel being displayed, the second full screen panel displaying a user interface element specifying a touchscreen gesture to perform on the second full screen panel to initiate the request trigger;
receiving the specified touchscreen gesture on the second full screen panel while displayed on the touchscreen; and
transmitting, to the pre-specified network site, the network site request in response to receiving the specified touchscreen gesture on the second full screen panel while displayed on the touchscreen.
