Abstract

An example computing device includes a touch screen display; wireless communication circuitry; one or more processors; and memory for storing a browser program for displaying web pages on the touch screen display. The one or more processors are configured to execute the browser program to control the computing device to at least: display, on the touch screen display, web pages accessed via the wireless communication circuitry; receive either a first input or a second input to the touch screen, wherein the second input is different from the first input and an initial touch on the touch screen for the first input and for the second input is a link on the displayed web page; in response to the first input, perform a first operation; and in response to the second input, perform a second operation, different from the first operation.

Claims (32)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a first housing;

a second housing hingedly connected to the first housing;

a first touch screen display accommodated in the first housing;

a second touch screen display accommodated in the second housing;

wireless communication circuitry;

one or more processors; and

memory for storing a browser program for displaying web pages on the first and second touch screen displays, wherein the one or more processors are configured to execute the browser program to control the electronic device to at least:

concurrently display, on the first and second touch screen displays, different web pages accessed via the wireless communication circuitry; and

based on a touch input to the first touch screen display, display, on the first touch screen display, a pop-up graphical interface element concurrently with the web page displayed on the first touch screen display, the pop-up graphical interface element including a touch image for accessing a process to input a uniform resource locator (URL).

2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to display a keyboard for inputting the URL.

3. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the pop-up graphical interface element includes a touch image for reloading a current web page.

4. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the pop-up graphical interface element includes a touch image for stopping downloading of a current web page.

5. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to execute the browser in response to selection of a corresponding icon.

6. The electronic device according to claim 1 , implemented as a mobile telephone.

7. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to execute the browser program to control the electronic device to switch the web pages displayed on the first and second touch screen displays in response to a gesture input to the electronic device.

8. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to execute the browser program to control the electronic device to display a web page on the first touch screen display based on input of a first type to a link displayed on the first touch screen display.

9. The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to execute the browser program to control the electronic device to display the web page on the second touch screen display based on input of a second type to the link.

10. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to execute the browser program to control the electronic device to receive input for selecting a portion of the web page displayed on the first touch screen display and, based on an input to the selected portion of the web page, displaying the selected portion of the web page on the second touch screen display.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs which, when executed by processing circuitry of an electronic device comprising first and second touch screen displays and wireless communication circuitry, cause the electronic device to at least:

concurrently display, on the first and second touch screen displays, different web pages accessed via the wireless communication circuitry; and

based on a touch input to the first touch screen display, display, on the first touch screen display, a pop-up graphical interface element concurrently with the web page displayed on the first touch screen display, the pop-up graphical interface element including a touch image for accessing a process to input a uniform resource locator (URL).

12. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 11 , wherein a keyboard is displayed for inputting the URL.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 11 , wherein the pop-up graphical interface element includes a touch image for reloading a current web page.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 11 , wherein the pop-up graphical interface element includes a touch image for stopping downloading of a current web page.

15. A system comprising the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 11 and one or more processors configured to access the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium.

16. A method for an electronic device comprising first and second touch screen displays and wireless communication circuitry, the method comprising:

concurrently displaying, on the first and second touch screen displays, different web pages accessed via the wireless communication circuitry; and

based on a touch input to the first touch screen display, displaying, on the first touch screen display, a pop-up graphical interface element concurrently with the web page displayed on the first touch screen display, the pop-up graphical interface element including a touch image for accessing a process to input a uniform resource locator (URL).

17. The method according to claim 16 , further comprising displaying a keyboard for inputting the URL.

18. The method according to claim 16 , wherein the pop-up graphical interface element includes a touch image for reloading a current web page.

19. The method according to claim 16 , wherein the pop-up graphical interface element includes a touch image for stopping downloading of a current web page.
