Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Computer-implemented methods for associating, based on a fling gesture, content with a graphical interface window, are provided. In one aspect, a method includes receiving, via a computing device, a fling gesture associated with an access point, wherein the fling gesture is a movement of the access point along a path from a first location on a display screen of the computing device to a second location on the display screen of the computing device, and wherein the access point is a reference to content. In response to the fling gesture, a graphical interface window is generated. The graphical interface window is then associated with the content referenced by the access point.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A computer-implemented method for generating a graphical interface window for viewing content, the method comprising: detecting a fling gesture performed on an access point, wherein the fling gesture comprises a movement along a path from a first fling location on a display screen of the computing device on the access point to a second fling location on the display screen of the computing device away from the access point, and wherein the access point is a l…
