Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electronic apparatus for determining commands by applying heuristics to user gestures detected on a touch screen display. SOLUTION: A method for determining command by applying heuristics includes the steps of: detecting one or more finger contacts with a touch screen display; applying one or more heuristics to the one or more finger contacts to determine a command to a device; and processing the command. The one or more heuristics include: a heuristic for determining that the one or more finger contacts correspond to a one-dimensional vertical screen scrolling command; a heuristic for determining that the one or more finger contacts correspond to a two-dimensional screen translation command; and a heuristic for determining the one or more finger contacts correspond to a command to transition from displaying a respective item in a set of items to displaying a next item in the set of items.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide portable multifunction devices with more transparent, intuitive, and efficient user interfaces for managing voicemail messages.SOLUTION: A method includes: displaying a list of voicemail messages; detecting selection by a user of each voicemail message in the list; responding to the user selection of the voicemail message by initiating playback of the user-selected voicemail message; displaying a progress bar for the user-selected voicemail message; detecting movement of a finger of the user from a first position on the progress bar to a second position on the progress bar; and responding to the detection of the finger movement by restarting playback of the user-selected voicemail message at a position within the user-selected voicemail message corresponding substantially to the second position on the progress bar.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a graphical user interface further enhanced in flexibility with respect to display of an object. SOLUTION: To provide collective access and consolidation to frequently used items in the graphical user interface, a userbar which includes a plurality of item representations is established. To permit a greater number of items to reside in the userbar, a magnification function is provided which magnifies an item within the userbar when a cursor associated with the graphical user interface accesses the item.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electronic device which determines a command by applying heuristics to a user gesture detected on a touch screen display.SOLUTION: A computing method using the touch screen display includes: a step of determining the command for the device by applying one or more heuristics to one or more finger touches on the touch screen display; and a step of processing the command. The one or more heuristics include a heuristic method for determining that the one or more finger touches correspond to a linear vertical screen scrolling command, a heuristic method for determining that the one or more finger touches correspond to a two-dimensional screen translational movement command, and a heuristic method for determining a command for transition to displaying of respective items in an item set by the one or more finger touches and further displaying of a next item in the item set.
Abstract:
Movement of a user's point of contact with a touch-sensitive display is determined. In response to the movement, a list of information items on the touch-sensitive display is scrolled. The list of information items may include a sequence of information item subsets corresponding to a sequence of index items. While scrolling through respective information subsets, an index symbol is displayed in conjunction with each respective information item subset.
