    Background
    [0001] The present invention refers to one of the challenges that continue to face the designers of devices that have user-dockable screens, such as touch screens, which refers to providing an improved functionality for users, through gestures that can be employed with the devices. This is so, not only with devices that have larger or multiple screens, but also in the context of devices that have a smaller footprint, such as tablet PCs, handheld devices, smaller multi-screen devices and the like.
    [0002] A challenge with gesture-based input is that of providing secondary actions. For example, in current touch interfaces, it is common to tap on the item to launch the item. This makes it difficult to provide secondary functionality such as the ability to select items. Still, certain challenges exist with the so-called panoramic surfaces, that is, surfaces that can be panned and have their content moved. For example, a panoramicable surface typically reacts to a finger drag and moves content toward the user's finger. If the surface contains objects that a user might want to rearrange, it is difficult to differentiate when the user wants to pan the surface or rearrange the content. summary
    [0003] This Summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts in a simplified form that are further described below in the Detailed Description. This Summary is not intended to identify key feature or essential features of the claimed subject matter nor is it intended to be used as an aid in determining the scope of the claimed subject matter.
    [0004] Cross-sliding gestures for touch screens are described. In at least some embodiments, cross-swipe gestures can be used over content that pans or scrolls in one direction, to allow for additional actions, such as content selection, drag-and-drop operations, and the like.
    [0005] In one or more modalities, a transverse swipe gesture can be performed by dragging an item or object in a direction that is different from a pan or scroll direction. Drag from different direction can be mapped to additional actions or functionality. In one or more modalities, one or more limits can be used, such as a distance limit, in combination with different direction drag, to map to additional actions or functionality.
    [0006] In at least some modalities, so-called speed reducers, or other perceptible indices such as visual indices, can be used to provide a user with an understanding or perception of limits. Brief Description of Drawings

    [00025] Cross-sliding gestures for touch screen are described. In at least some embodiments, cross-swipe gestures can be used over content that pans or scrolls in one direction, to allow for additional actions, such as content selection, drag-and-drop operations, and the like.
    [00026] In one or more modalities, a transverse swipe gesture can be performed by dragging an item or object in a direction that is different, for example, orthogonal, from a pan or scroll direction. Dragging can be performed through a touch-related drag, such as through a finger, stylus, pen and the like, through a mouse/trackpad drag and the like. In the examples described in this document, a touch-related drag is used. The different drag direction can be mapped to additional actions or functionality. In one or more modalities, one or more boundaries can be used, such as a distance boundary in combination with dragging from a different direction, to map to additional actions or functionality. For example, in the context of a horizontally scrollable list, dragging an object vertically a short distance and releasing it can mark an object as selected, while dragging the object a greater distance vertically can release the object from an associated list so that it can be dropped elsewhere.
    [00027] In at least some modalities so called speed bumps, or other perceptual indices such as visual indices, can be used to provide a user with an understanding or awareness of limits.
    [00028] Several modalities described here allow an item to be dragged without necessarily entering a mode. A mode can be thought of as an action that is initiated by a user that is not necessarily related to manipulating an item directly. For example, a mode can be entered by clicking on a specific user interface button and then exposed to functionality that can be performed against an item or object. In the described modalities, modes can be avoided by eliminating, in at least some cases, user interface elements to access drag functionality.
    [00029] In the following discussion, an exemplary environment is first described that is operable to employ the gesture techniques described here. Exemplary illustrations of gestures and procedures are then described, which can be used in the exemplary setting as well as in other settings. Consequently, the exemplary environment is not limited to performing the exemplary gestures and the gestures are not limited to implementation in the exemplary environment. Exemplary Environment
    [00030] Figure 1 is an illustration of an environment 100 in an exemplary implementation that is operable to employ transverse swipe gestures as described herein. Environment 100 illustrated includes an example of a computing device 102 that can be configured in a variety of modes. For example, the computing device 102 may be configured as a traditional computer (e.g., a desktop personal computer, a laptop computer, and so on), a mobile station, an entertainment device, a frequency converter. coupled to a television, a cordless phone, a netbook, a game console, a handheld device, and so on as further described in relation to Figure 2. Thus, computing device 102 may vary from full-resource devices such as substantial memory and processor resources (eg personal computers, game consoles) to a low-resource device with a memory and/or processing resources (eg traditional frequency converters, handheld game consoles). Computing device 102 also includes software that causes computing device 102 to perform one or more operations as described below.
    [00031] The computing device 102 includes a gesture module 104 that is operative to provide a gesture functionality as described in this document. The gesture module can be implemented in connection with any suitable type of hardware, software, firmware or combinations thereof. In at least some modes, the gesture module is implemented in software that resides on some sort of tangible, computer-readable storage medium, examples of which are provided below.
    [00032] The gesture module 104 is representative of a functionality that recognizes gestures, including transverse swipe gestures that can be performed by one or more fingers, and causes operations to be performed that correspond to the gestures. Gestures can be recognized by module 104 in a variety of different ways. For example, the gesture module 104 may be configured to recognize touch input, such as a user's hand finger 106a with the nearest screen device 108 of computing device 102 using a touch screen functionality. Specifically, the gesture module 104 can recognize transverse swipe gestures that can be used over content that pans or scrolls in one direction, for additional permissions, such as content selection, drag-and-drop operations, and the like.
    [00033] For example, in the illustrated example, a pan or scroll direction is shown as being in the vertical direction, as indicated by the arrows. In one or more modalities, a transverse swipe gesture can be performed by dragging an item or object in a direction that is different, for example, orthogonal, from the pan or scroll direction. Drag from different direction can be mapped to additional actions or functionality. With respect to whether a direction is vertical or horizontal, a vertical direction can be thought of, in at least some cases, as a direction that is generally parallel to one side of a display device, and a horizontal direction can be thought of as a direction that is generally orthogonal to the vertical direction. With this, although the orientation of a computing device can change, the verticality or horizontality of a transverse swipe gesture can remain the default as defined in relation to and along the screen device.
    [00034] For example, a finger of the user 106a's hand is illustrated as selecting 110 an image 112 displayed by the screen device 108. The selection 110 of the image 112 and the subsequent movement of the finger of the user 106a's hand in a direction that is different from the pan or scroll direction, for example generally orthogonal to the pan or scroll direction, can be recognized by the gesture module 104. The gesture module 104 can then identify this recognized movement, by nature and movement character, as indicating a "drag and drop" operation to change the location of the image 112 to a point on the screen at which the user's hand finger 106a is lifted away from the screen device 108. recognition of touch input that describes image selection, movement of the selection point to another location, and then lifting the user's hand finger 106a can be used to identify a gesture (eg, a drag-and-drop gesture) which should initiate the drag-and-drop operation.
    [00035] Although transverse swipe gestures are primarily discussed in this document, it should be appreciated and understood that a variety of different types of gestures may be recognized by gesture module 104 including, by way of example and not limitation, gestures that are input types (for example, touch gestures such as the previously written drag-and-drop gesture) as well as gestures involving multiple types of input. For example, module 104 can be used to recognize single finger gestures and frame gestures, multiple finger gestures/same hand and frame gestures and/or multiple finger gestures/different hands and frame gestures.
    [00036] For example, computing device 102 may be configured to detect and differentiate between a touch input (for example, provided by one or more fingers of the user's hand 106a) and a stylus input (for example, provided by a stylet 116). Differentiation can be performed in a variety of ways, such as detecting an amount of screen device 108 that is contacted by the user's finger 106a versus an amount of screen device 108 that is contacted by stylus 116.
    [00037] Thus, the gesture module 104 can support a variety of different gesture techniques by recognizing and leveraging a split between stylus and touch inputs, as well as different types of touch inputs.
    [00038] Figure 2 illustrates an exemplary system that shows the gesture module 104 as being implemented in an environment where multiple devices are interconnected through a central computing device. The central computing device can be local to multiple devices or can be located remotely from multiple devices. In one embodiment, the central computing device is a "cloud" server farm, which comprises one or more server computers that are connected to multiple devices through a network or the Internet or other means.
    [00039] In one embodiment, this interconnect architecture allows functionality to be provided across multiple devices to provide a common, uninterrupted experience for users of multiple devices. Each of the multiple devices may have different physical requirements and capabilities, and the core computing device utilizes a platform to enable delivery of an experience for the device that is both modeled for the device and yet common to all devices. In one modality, a "class" of target device is created and experiences are modeled for the generic class of devices. A device class can be defined by physical characteristics or usage or other common characteristics of devices. For example, as previously described computing device 102 can be configured in a variety of different modes, such as for mobile uses 202, computer 204, and television 206. Each of these configurations has a generally corresponding screen size and so the computing device 102 may be configured as one of these device classes in this exemplary system 200. For example, computing device 102 may take the mobile device class 202 which includes mobile phones, music players, gaming devices, and so on. Computing device 102 may also assume a class of computing device 204 which includes personal computers, laptop computers, netbooks, and so on. Television configuration 206 includes device configurations that involve viewing in a casual setting, for example, televisions, frequency converters, game consoles, and so on. Thus, the techniques described herein can be supported by these various configurations of computing device 102 and are not limited to the specific examples described in the following sections.
    [00040] The cloud 208 is illustrated as including a platform 210 for web services 212. The platform 210 abstracts an underlying hardware functionality (eg servers) and software resources of the cloud 208 and thus can act as a "system of cloud operation". For example, platform 210 can abstract resources to connect computing device 102 with other computing devices. Platform 210 can also serve to abstract resource scaling to provide a level of scale corresponding to the demand found for web services 212 that are implemented through platform 210. A variety and other examples are also contemplated, such as load balancing servers across a server park, protection against malicious parts (eg, spam, viruses, and other malware), and so on.
    [00041] Thus, the cloud 208 is included as a part of the strategy with respect to the software and hardware resources that are made available to the computing device 102 via the Internet or other networks. For example, the gesture module 104 can be implemented in part in the computing device 102 as well as through a platform 210 that supports the web services 212.
    [00042] For example, the gesture techniques supported by the gesture module can be detected using a touch screen functionality in mobile configuration 202, a trackpad functionality of computer configuration 204, detected by a camera as part of support of natural user interface (NUI) that does not involve contacting a specific input device, and so on. Furthermore, the performance of operations to detect and recognize inputs to identify a specific gesture may be distributed across the entire system 200, such as by computing device 102 and/or web services 212 supported by platform 210 of cloud 208 .
    [00043] Generally, any of the functions described here can be implemented using software, firmware, hardware (for example, fixed logic circuit), manual processing, or a combination of these implementations. The terms "module", "functionality" and "logic" as used herein generally represent software, firmware, hardware, or a combination thereof. In the case of a software implementation, the module, functionality, or logic represents program code that performs specified tasks when executed on or by a processor (eg, CPU or CPUs). Program code may be stored on one or more computer-readable memory devices. The characteristics of gesture techniques described below are platform independent, meaning that the techniques can be implemented on a variety of commercial computing platforms that have a variety of processors.
    [00044] In the discussion that follows, several sections describe exemplary transverse slip gestures including rearrangement gestures. The section entitled "Transverse Slip Gesture/Method for Pan Direction" describes a transverse swipe gesture that can be performed relative to a pan direction according to one or more modalities. Next, a section titled "Method/Gesture for Rearranging Items in a Panning List" describes how items can be arranged and rearranged using a transversal swipe gesture according to one or more modalities. Afterwards, a section entitled "Detecting Cross Slip Gestures" describes how cross slip gestures can be detected according to one or more modalities. The following section titled "Combining-DoMultiple Interactions" describes how multiple interactions can be combined together with the transverse swipe gestures according to one or more modalities. After that, a section entitled "Direct Manipulation to Facilitate Boundary for Discernibility" describes how a direct manipulation feedback can be provided to allow a user to become aware of various boundaries according to one or more modalities. Below, a section entitled "Interaction Feedback" describes modalities in which a feedback can be provided to a user according to one or more modalities. Finally, a section entitled "Exemplary Device" describes the aspects of an exemplary device that can be used to implement one or more modalities. Method/Gesture for Transverse Sliding for Panning Direction
    [00045] In one or more modalities, a transverse swipe gesture can be performed to cause an object-related action to be performed by dragging an item or object in a direction that is different, for example, orthogonal, from a scroll direction or panning.
    [00046] As an example, consider Figure 3 which illustrates an environment 300 according to one or more modalities. Here, computing device 302 includes a screen device 308 whose contents can be scrolled or panned in the horizontal direction, as indicated by double headed arrow 304, and as suggested by scroll bar 305. Screen device 308 displayed in it, multiple different objects or items 310, 312, 314, 316, 318, 320, 322, 324 which are shown in their entirety, and partial objects or items 326, 328. In this example, a user can scroll or panning in the horizontal direction using a sweep gesture over the screen device 308 in the horizontal direction. Alternatively, a user can cause an object-relative action to be performed by performing a swipe gesture across, relative to one of the objects or items, in a direction that is different from the scroll or pan direction.
    [00047] As an example, consider the lowermost illustration of computing device 302. There, a user's hand 306a touched over item 312 and moved it in a direction that is different from the scroll or pan direction. In this specific example, the different direction is usually orthogonal to the scrolling or panning direction in a descending direction. It should be appreciated and understood that, in at least some embodiments, the object can be moved up and down, or more generally bidirectionally, to access the same or different actions relating to the object. Any suitable type of object-related action can be performed. For example, an object-related action type might include, by way of example and not limitation, object selection. Note, in this example, that the selected item is directly manipulated and a visual feedback is provided to the user being able to observe the object move responsive to the user's engagement. Note also that, in this modality and the others described below, the object-related action is performed without showing additional user interface elements, such as a button to allow a command selection. Other object-related actions can be performed such as object deletion and other object manipulation actions.
    [00048] As another example consider Figure 4, which illustrates an environment 400 according to one or more modalities. Here, computing device 402 includes a screen device 408 whose contents can be scrolled or panned in the vertical direction, as indicated by double-headed arrow 404, and as suggested by scroll bar 405. screen 408 displayed, thereon, multiple different objects or items 410, 412, 414, 416, 418, 420, 422, 424 which are shown in their entirety. In this example, a user can scroll or pan in the vertical direction using a sweep gesture over the screen device 408 in the vertical direction. Alternatively, a user can cause an object-relative action to be performed by performing a swipe gesture across one of the objects or items in a direction that is different from the scroll or pan direction.
    [00049] As an example, consider the lowermost illustration of computing device 402. There, a hand of user 406a touched over item 412 and moved it in a direction that is different from the scroll or pan direction. In this specific example, the different direction is usually orthogonal to the scroll or pan direction. Any suitable type of object-related action can be performed, examples of which are provided below. For example, an object-related action type might include, by way of example and not limitation, object selection. It should be appreciated and understood that a functionality that is accessible via cross-swipe gestures can be accessed in connection with moving the object or item any threshold distance to invoke the object-relative action. In at least some modalities, there may not be a limit distance to invoke an object-relative action. In these cases, movement in a direction other than the scroll or pan direction can be used to invoke the object-relative action.
    [00050] Figure 5 is a flowchart describing the steps in a method according to one or more modalities. The method can be performed in connection with any suitable hardware, software, firmware, or combination thereof. In at least some embodiments, the method can be performed by a suitably configured management module such as the one described above.
    [00051] Step 500 detects a gestural slip input relative to a screen device associated with a computing device. Step 502 assesses whether the gestural glide input direction is different from a pan direction. If the direction is not different from the pan direction, step 504 pans the content in the direction of the gestural slide entry. If, on the other hand, the direction of the gestural slip input is different from the pan direction, step 506 performs an object-relative action. Any suitable type of action relating to the object may be performed, examples of which are provided below. Method/Gesture for Rearranging Items in a Panable List
    [00052] In one or more modalities, a transverse swipe gesture can be performed effective to cause an object-relative action, in the form of an object rearrangement action, to be performed by dragging an item or object in a direction that is different, for example, orthogonal to or generally not in the direction associated with a scroll or pan direction.
    [00053] As an example, consider Figure 6 which illustrates an environment 600 according to one or more modalities. Here, computing device 602 includes a screen device 608 whose contents can be scrolled or panned in the horizontal direction, as indicated by double-headed arrow 604, as suggested by scroll bar 605. in it, multiple different objects or items 610, 612, 614, 616, 618, 620, 622, 624 which are shown in their entirety, and partial objects or items 626, 628. In this example, a user can perform a scrolling or panning in the horizontal direction using a hard sweep gesture over the screen device 608 in the horizontal direction. Alternatively, a user can cause an object-relative action, in the form of a rearrangement action, to be performed by performing a transverse swipe gesture, relative to one of the objects or items, in a direction that is different from the direction. scrolling or panning. For example, in the uppermost illustration, a user 600a's hand touched screen device 608 over object 612 and dragged the object in a first direction that is generally orthogonal to the scroll or pan direction, and then a second direction in the direction. from the lower left corner of the display device 608. Here the first direction is a generally vertical direction. Dragging the object in the first direction indicates to the gesture module that an object must be rearranged.
    [00054] Now consider the lowermost illustration of computing device 602. Here, user 600a's hand has dragged object 612 into its illustrated position and dropped it into place. Subsequently, the user's hand touched the screen device 608 over the object 618 and dragged the object in a first direction which is generally orthogonal to the user's hand 600a, and then in a second direction towards the middle portion of the screen device. Here, the first direction is a generally vertical direction. Once the user's hand is lifted from the screen device 608 touched, the object 618 will be dropped into its illustrated location.
    [00055] As another example, consider Figure 7, which illustrates an environment 700 according to one or more modalities. Here, computing device 702 includes a display device 708 whose contents can be scrolled or panned in the vertical direction, as indicated by the double headed arrow 704, and as suggested by the scroll bar 705. The display device 708 has displayed, in it, multiple different objects or items 710, 712, 714, 716, 718, 720, 722, 724. In this example, a user can scroll or pan in the vertical direction using a sweep gesture on the disk. 708 screen positive in the vertical direction. Alternatively, a user can cause an object-relative action, in the form of a rearrangement action, to be performed by performing a transverse swipe gesture, relative to one of the objects or items, in a direction that is different from the scroll direction. or panning. For example, in the uppermost illustration, a user's hand 706a touched screen device 708 over object 712 and dragged the object in a direction that is generally orthogonal to the scroll or pan direction. Here the direction is a generally horizontal direction. Dragging an object in this direction indicates to the gesture module that the object should be rearranged.
    [00056] Now consider the lowermost illustration of computing device 702. Here, user's hand 706a has dragged object 712 to its illustrated position and dropped it into place. Subsequently, the user's hand touched the screen device 708 over the object 710 and air swept the object in a direction that is generally orthogonal to the scroll or pan direction. Here, the direction is a generally horizontal direction. Once the user's hand is lifted from the screen device 708 touched, the object 710 will be dropped into its illustrated location.
    [00057] Figure 8 is a flowchart describing the steps in a method according to one or more modalities. The method can be performed in connection with any suitable hardware, software, firmware, or combinations thereof. In at least some embodiments, the method can be performed by a suitably configured gesture module such as the one described above.
    [00058] Step 800 detects a drag direction associated with a drag operation relative to a screen device associated with a computing device. Step 802 evaluates whether the drag direction is different from a pan direction. If the drag direction is not different from the pan direction, step 804 pans the content in the drag direction. If, on the other hand, the drag direction is different from the pan direction, step 806 performs an object arrange action. Examples of how this can be done are provided above. In one or more modalities, the rearrangement can take place in any suitable direction. Detecting Transverse Slip Gestures
    [00059] Transverse swipe gestures can be detected in any suitable mode. As just an example of how cross-sliding gestures can be detected, consider the following in connection with Figure 9. In one or more modes, to detect whether a user is panning or in cross-sliding, a detection logic of region can be applied as graphically illustrated in Figure 9.
    [00060] In this example, assume the user has displayed a horizontally panned list of items. When the user places their finger on an object, as inside circle 900 illustrated, and begins to drag their finger outside the circle boundary, region detection can be employed to evaluate the result of the drag. For example, in a situation where there is a drag into a 902 region, the content will be panned in a corresponding direction. However, a drag into one of region 904 will be recognized as a transverse swipe gesture and, consequently, functionality associated with the transverse swipe gesture can be implemented.
    [00061] In the illustrated example, regions 902 and 904 are generally similarly sized. However, based on the scenario, certain actions can be prioritized by changing the angle or range of entry angles, for example angles a and b, of different regions. For example, by making angles a larger thereby increasing their range, (and angles b smaller thereby decreasing their range) it is easier to start panning without accidentally performing a transverse swipe gesture, and vice versa. versa.
    [00062] Figure 10 is a flowchart describing the steps in a method according to one or more modalities. The method can be performed in connection with any suitable hardware, software, firmware, or combination thereof. In at least some embodiments, the method can be performed by a suitably configured management module such as the one described above.
    [00063] Step 1000 defines one or more regions associated with a pan gesture. Any suitable region geometry can be used, an example of which is provided above. Step 1002 defines one or more regions associated with a transverse swipe gesture. Again, any suitable region geometry can be used, an example of which is provided above. In the example in Figure 9, region geometries are typically triangular in shape and converge at a point associated with a touch input. Other geometries can be used without departing from the spirit and scope of the claimed subject.
    [00064] Step 1004 detects a drag operation. This step can be performed by detecting gestural input in the form of a touch gesture, such as a sweep. Step 1006 evaluates an associated region within which the drag operation takes place. If, in step 1008, the region is associated with a pan gesture, step 1010 pans the content in an associated direction. If, on the other hand, the region is not associated with a pan gesture, step 1012 performs an operation associated with a transverse swipe gesture. Any suitable object-related action can be performed, including, by way of example and not limitation, an object selection, object deletion, object rearrangement, and the like.
    [00065] Having considered how drag operations can be detected and differentiated according to one or more modalities, now consider a discussion of how multiple interactions can be combined. Combining Multiple Interactions
    [00066] In some cases, it may be desirable to have a limit that can be used to lock in an object-relative action, such as a drag limit that allows you to lock in a drag direction. Any suitable type of limit can be used including, by way of example and not limitation, distance limits, speed limits, directionality limits, any combination of the above mentioned limits, as well as other limits. For example, a combination of distance and speed limit can be used to mitigate what might otherwise constitute an accidental or unintended action. For example, when a specific limit is reached, the finger movement speed could be evaluated. If the speed is below a specific threshold then a drag action could be invoked. If this is above a specific threshold, then perhaps an object selection action would be performed.
    [00067] This makes it possible for the user to be less precise at the beginning of their gesture. For example, returning to the example in Figure 9, note that box 906 is set. When the user's finger is within the box 906 or alternatively within the boundary of a circle 900, the corresponding gesture may be in an "undecided" state. Once the finger crosses outside the box (or circle) boundary a decision as to the gesture can be made. In practice this can be handled in a couple of different ways. First, neither a pan operation nor a transverse swipe functionality can be implemented until the finger has crossed the boundary of box 906. Alternatively, both pan and traverse operations can be implemented simultaneously as the finger is within the boundary of box 906. As soon as the finger crosses the boundary of the box, the operation associated with that specific region can be kept, while the other operation can be cancelled.
    [00068] Once a transverse swipe gesture has been detected, different limits can be used to implement the object-related actions. As an example, consider Figure 11. Here, an object or item 1100 is shown. Various distances are shown and are indicated at 1102 and 1104. Distances show the displacement distance of the object 1100. In one or more modalities, the first distance 1102 is a threshold which, when passed, results in an action potentially being committed. . In this specific example, passing this distance limit while performing a drag operation causes object 1100 to be selected. To commit this action, the user would lift their finger, and the dragged object would slide back to its original position and change its state to be selected. The area under this which corresponds to the distance 1102 before the distance limit 1104 is reached can be treated as temporary storage. So releasing the object within this area would still result in object selection.
    [00069] Once the dragged object (dragged along the solid line or any other suitable direction such as along the dashed line) reaches the distance 1104 and crosses its boundary, the next action relative to the object on the gesture transverse slip can be omitted. In this specific example, the object-relative action can break the object out of its list or associated position on the screen device, and thus allow the user to drag and drop the object in any direction. In one or more modalities, if the object reaches line 1106, this can trigger further object-related actions. For example, crossing this line with the object could trigger additional visual feedback to make it clear to the user that the drag-and-drop limit has been reached.
    [00070] It should be appreciated and understood that any suitable number of distance boundaries may be employed and may be associated with object-related actions. For example, a first boundary could be defined by the illustrated circle boundary within the object 1100, a second boundary by distance 1102, and a third boundary by distance 1104. In one or more embodiments, a move outside the first boundary can crash the object associated in the associated movement direction.
    [00071] Figure 12 is a flowchart describing the steps in a method according to one or more modalities. The method can be performed in connection with any suitable hardware, software, firmware, or combination thereof. In at least some embodiments, the method can be performed by a suitably configured gesture module such as the one described above.
    [00072] Step 1200 sets one or more limits. This step can be performed in any suitable mode using any suitable type of boundary. For example, in the modality described above, distance limits were employed. It should be appreciated and understood, however, that other types of limits and/or their combinations can be used without departing from the spirit and scope of the claimed subject matter.
    [00073] In the illustrated and described embodiment, the defined limits can be used in connection with a transverse sliding gesture as described above. Step 1202 detects a transverse slide gesture. Examples of how this can be done are provided above. Step 1204 detects one or more threshold triggers. For example, once a user has engaged touching an object they can move the object to a specific location. This step probes when the object has been removed sufficiently to trigger one or more thresholds. In modalities where limits are defined in terms of distances, the step can be performed by detecting when an object has moved a specific distance.
    [00074] Step 1206 detects whether a user's action indicates that an object-related action should be committed. This step can be performed in any suitable mode. For example, the user action could include lifting your finger off of a specific object. If a user's action does not indicate that an object-related action should be committed, step 1208 does not commit the object-related action. For example, the user could end the cross swipe gesture in a specific mode so that no action should be taken. For example, the transverse swipe gesture can be reversible, that is, if the user starts to drag an object down, then he can, at any time while still holding the object, slide it back to its position original. By doing this, no transverse slip action will be taken. Alternatively, one or more limits could be crossed, without a user having yet indicated that the object-related action must be committed. In this case, if the transverse swipe gesture is taking place, the method would continue to monitor for threshold triggers as returning to step 1204. If, on the other hand, a user action indicates that an object-relative action should be committed , step 1210 commits the object-relative action associated with the last triggered threshold. This step may be performed in any suitable manner and may include any suitable object-related action, examples of which are provided above.
    [00075] In one or more embodiments, the multiple different directions used for the traverse sliding functionality can either result in the same object-related actions being performed, or different object-related actions being performed. For example, an object selection could occur when an object is dragged down, while a drag and drop action could be performed when the object is dragged up.
    [00076] Having considered the use of multiple drag limits and associated object-relative actions, now consider an additional example that employs limits along with indexes to provide direct object manipulation feedback. Direct Manipulation to Facilitate Boundary for Discernibility
    [00077] In at least some modalities, a direct manipulation can provide visual feedback so that a user can visually observe an object move and, according to the object's movement, can be provided with visual aids to facilitate discernibility of limit. Any suitable type of visual aid may be employed including, by way of example and not limitation, tool tips, icons, glyphs, and the like. In the example described just below, so-called speed reducers can be used to provide a user with an understanding or awareness of the various limits that may be present. As an example, consider Figure 13.
    [00078] There, an object or item 1300 is shown. Various distances are shown and are indicated 1302, 1304, and 1306. The distances show the object displacement distance 1300 or the distances through which the object can be displaced. In one or more modalities, the first distance 1302 is a threshold which, when passed, results in an action potentially being taken. In this specific, passing this distance limit while performing a drag operation causes the 1300 object to be selected. To commit this action the user would lift their finger and the dragged object would slide back to its original position and change its state to be selected. The area below that corresponds to the distance 1302 before the region corresponding to the distance 1306 is reached and can be treated as temporary storage. Thus, releasing the object within this area would still result in the object being selected.
    [00079] Distance 1306 corresponds to a speed reducer region. The movement of the 1300 object within the speed reducer region is slower than the finger movement. This presents a visual cue or indication that a new limit is about to be reached, thus making it easier for the user to commit a specific action without accidentally moving in and over the next distance limit. For example, within a speed reducer region a user can drag their finger 50 pixels in length, while the corresponding object can move five pixels in distance. Releasing the object within this speed reducer region will result in an associated action being committed. In this example, the associated action is an object selection.
    [00080] Once the dragged object proceeds through the speed reducer region corresponding to the distance 1306, and reaches the distance 1304 and crosses its limit, the next action relative to the object in the transverse slide gesture can be committed . In this specific example, the object-relative action can separate the object from its list or associated position on the screen device, and thus allow the user to drag and drop the object in any direction. In one or more modalities, if the object reaches line 1308, this can still trigger additional object related actions. For example, crossing this line with the object could trigger additional visual feedback to make it clear to the user that the drag and drop limit has been reached. In addition, multiple speed bumps can be used in connection with distance limits.
    [00081] It should be appreciated and understood that any suitable number of distance limits and speed reducers may be employed and may be associated with object-related actions. Alternatively or in addition, other visual indices can be used to indicate thresholds or threshold changes. For example, while dragging an object, one or more lines can be rendered to indicate boundaries and thus the distance an object must be dragged to perform different actions. Visual features can also be traced over the object itself as it approaches or crosses a boundary.
    [00082] Figure 14 is a flowchart describing the steps in a method according to one or more modalities. The method can be performed in connection with any suitable hardware, software, firmware, or combination thereof. In at least some embodiments, the method can be performed by a suitably configured gesture module such as the one described above.
    [00083] Step 1400 defines one or more distance limits that include one or more speed bumps. This step can be performed in any suitable mode. In the illustrated and described embodiment, the defined speed limits and reducers can be used in connection with a transverse sliding gesture as described above. Step 1402 detects a transverse slide gesture. Examples of how this can be done are provided above. Step 1404 detects a speed reducer crossing. For example, once a user has engaged touching an object the user can move the object in a specific direction. This step detects when the object has moved sufficiently to cross a threshold associated with a speed reducer.
    [00084] Step 1406 modifies a user experience within the speed bump region. Any suitable modification of the user experience can be provided. For example, in at least some modalities, modifying the user experience can lead to modifying the user's visual experience. For example, and as noted above, the user's finger may move faster than the underlying object. Alternatively or in addition, other experience modifications may occur including, by way of example and not limitation providing an audible or haptic feedback to indicate the presence within a specific speed reducer region.
    [00085] Step 1408 detects whether a user action indicates that an object-related action should be committed. This step can be performed in any suitable mode. For example, the user action could include lifting your finger from a specific object. If a user action does not indicate that an object-relative action is to be committed, step 1410 does not commit the object-relative action. For example, the user could end the transverse swipe gesture in a specific mode such that no action should be taken. For example, the transverse swipe gesture can be reversible, that is, if the user starts to drag an object down, then he can, at any time while still holding the object, slide it back to its original position . By doing this, no transverse slip action will be taken. Alternatively, one or more limits and one or more speed reducer regions could be crossed, without a user having yet indicated that the object-relative action is to be committed. In this case, if the transverse slip gesture is continuing, the method would continue to monitor for threshold crossings and additional speed bumps as appropriate. If, on the other hand, a user action indicates that an object-relative action must be committed, step 1412 commits the object-relative action associated with a last crossed boundary. This step may be performed in any suitable manner and may include any suitable object-related action, examples of which are provided above.
    [00086] In one or more embodiments, the multiple different directions used for the traverse sliding functionality can either result in the same object-related actions being performed, or different object-related actions being performed. For example, object selection could occur when an object is dragged down, while a drag and drop action could be performed when the object is dragged up. Return of Interaction
    [00087] In one or more modalities, a visual feedback can be provided to a user to inform the user of a specific object-related action that will be committed, responsive to the detected transverse slide gesture. For example, as a specific object passes through different distance limits, visual indices can be provided to inform the user of a specific action that will be taken by releasing the object. Alternatively, or in addition to this, visual indices can additionally be provided on an action relating to a specific object that could be nearby if dragging of the object continues.
    [00088] As an example, consider Figure 15. There, an object in the form of an image is shown generically at 1500. In the uppermost part of the Figure, a user tapped the object to initiate a drag operation. As the user drags the object downwards, as shown in 1502, visual indices 1504 can be shown as beginning to emerge from under the image. In this specific example, the visual index resides in the form of a checkbox that gradually emerges from under the object. Any suitable type of visual index can be used without departing from the spirit and scope of the claimed subject. For example, the visual index could be presented in the form of a line, under the image, and onto which the image must be dragged to perform a specific action. Once the object has been dragged a specific distance, as shown in 1506, the visual index - here the checkbox - can be fully exposed thus informing the user that he can release the object to commit an action relating to object. In this specific example, the object-relative action comprises an object selection. Thus, the fully exposed checkbox can indicate that the action is complete.
    [00089] Figure 16 is a flowchart describing the steps in a method according to one or more modalities. The method can be performed in connection with any suitable hardware, software, firmware, or combination thereof. In at least some embodiments, the method can be performed by a suitably configured gesture module such as the one described above.
    [00090] Step 1600 detects a drag operation associated with an object. Examples of how this can be done are provided above. For example, the drag operation can be detected in conjunction with a transverse swipe gesture. Step 1602 presents a partial visual index portion associated with the completion of an object-relative action. Examples of how this can be done are provided above. Step 1604 evaluates whether the drag operation continues. If the drag operation has not continued, the method may, in a case where a user has not finished the drag operation, return to step 1602. In the case where the user has finished the drag operation, such as returning the object to its original position, the method may terminate. On the other hand, if the drag operation continues, step 1606 evaluates whether a distance threshold associated with an object-relative action has been reached. If not, the method can return to step 1602. By doing this, more of the visual index can be exposed according to how far the object was air swept. If, on the other hand, a distance limit associated with an object-relative action has been reached, step 1608 presents a complete visual index associated with the commit of the object-relative action. By doing this, the visual index can visually inform the user that the object-related action can be committed such as by the user removing their finger from the object.
    [00091] Having described an exemplary visual index associated with committing an object-related action associated with a transverse swipe gesture, consider now an exemplary device that can be used to implement one or more of the modalities described above. Exemplary Device
