Abstract

A portable electronic device with a touch-sensitive display is disclosed. One aspect of the invention involves a computer-implemented method in which the portable electronic device: displays an application on the touch-sensitive display; and when the application is in a predefined mode, performs a predefined operation in response to each gesture of a set of multiple distinct gestures on the touch-sensitive display. Another aspect of the invention involves a computer-implemented method in which the portable electronic device: displays a first application; when the first application is in a first mode, performs a first operation upon detecting a first gesture on the touch-sensitive display; and performs the first operation upon detecting a second gesture on the touch-sensitive display, wherein the second gesture is different from the first gesture.

Claims (53)

1. An electronic device, comprising:

a touch screen display;

one or more processors;

memory; and

one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs are stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:

displaying a user interface on the touch screen display, wherein the user interface includes:

at least portions of two windows of an application, including a first window and a second window; and

an icon at a location different from the at least two windows of the application;

while displaying the at least two windows, detecting a first gesture on the first window on the touch screen display;

in response to detecting the first gesture on the first window, removing the first window from the touch screen display;

while displaying the second window, detecting a second gesture on the icon at the location different from the at least two windows of the application; and

in response to detecting the second gesture on the icon at the location different from the at least two windows of the application, enlarging the second window on the touch screen display.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first gesture is a tap gesture.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the second gesture is a tap gesture.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein:

the first window is located at a first location; and

removing the first window from the touch screen display includes displaying an animation of the second window moving to the first location.

5. The electronic device of claim 4 , wherein:

after the second window is moved to the first location, the user interface includes a third window at a second location, different from the first location; and

enlarging the second window on the touch screen display includes ceasing to display the third window.

6. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured to be executed by one or more processors of an electronic device with a touch screen display, the one or more programs including instructions for:

displaying a user interface on the touch screen display, wherein the user interface includes:

at least portions of two windows of an application, including a first window and a second window; and

an icon at a location different from the at least two windows of the application;

while displaying the at least two windows, detecting a first gesture on the first window on the touch screen display;

in response to detecting the first gesture on the first window, removing the first window from the touch screen display;

while displaying the second window, detecting a second gesture on the icon at the location different from the at least two windows of the application; and

in response to detecting the second gesture on the icon at the location different from the at least two windows of the application, enlarging the second window on the touch screen display.

7. A method, comprising:

at an electronic device with a touch screen display:

displaying a user interface on the touch screen display, wherein the user interface includes:

at least portions of two windows of an application, including a first window and a second window; and

an icon at a location different from the at least two windows of the application;

while displaying the at least two windows, detecting a first gesture on the first window on the touch screen display;

in response to detecting the first gesture on the first window, removing the first window from the touch screen display;

while displaying the second window, detecting a second gesture on the icon at the location different from the at least two windows of the application; and

in response to detecting the second gesture on the icon at the location different from the at least two windows of the application, enlarging the second window on the touch screen display.

8. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 6 , wherein the first gesture is a tap gesture.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 6 , wherein the second gesture is a tap gesture.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 6 , wherein:

the first window is located at a first location; and

removing the first window from the touch screen display includes displaying an animation of the second window moving to the first location.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 10 , wherein:

after the second window is moved to the first location, the user interface includes a third window at a second location, different from the first location; and

enlarging the second window on the touch screen display includes ceasing to display the third window.

12. The method of claim 7 , wherein the first gesture is a tap gesture.

13. The method of claim 7 , wherein the second gesture is a tap gesture.

14. The method of claim 7 , wherein:

the first window is located at a first location; and

removing the first window from the touch screen display includes displaying an animation of the second window moving to the first location.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein:

after the second window is moved to the first location, the user interface includes a third window at a second location, different from the first location; and

enlarging the second window on the touch screen display includes ceasing to display the third window.
