Description

END OF LIST DISPLAY
BACKGROUND
[0001] The use of touch displays is prevalent among several types of computing devices. Users may provide touch inputs on displays of these computing devices to manipulate the content displayed. For example, a user may move their finger on a display of a computing device to scroll up or down to view different parts of content being displayed.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
(0002) Some examples of the present application are described with respect to the following figures:
[0003] FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an example computing device for displaying an end of a list;
[0004] FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating an example method of displaying a stretched version of an end of a list;
[0005] FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating an example method of displaying an indicator indicating an end of a list;
[0006] FIGS. 4A-4C are interface diagrams of example user interfaces capable of displaying stretched versions of an end of a list; and
[0007] FIGS. 5A-5B are interface diagrams of example user interfaces capable of displaying an indicator indicating an end of a list.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0008] As described above, users may provide touch inputs on displays of computing devices to manipulate (e.g., access, view, modify, add, delete, etc.) content being displayed. For example, a user may scroll through a list of items displayed on a tablet device using their finger to move up and down the list being displayed. A user may continue to provide touch inputs (e.g., using the user's finger) to move up and down the list until the top and/or the bottom of the list is reached.
[0009] Visual and/or audio indicators may be used to notify a user that the user has reached either end of a list (e.g., the top and/or bottom of a list) as the user is scrolling through the list being displayed. Any suitable visual and/or audio indicators may be provided while the user is scrolling through the list to inform the user that the user has reached an end of the list. For example, if a user continues to scroll to the top of a list using the user's finger, a visual indicator may be displayed to the user to notify the user that the top of the list is already being displayed and that the user cannot scroll any higher because the user has reached the top of the list. While the examples described herein include examples of scrolling through a list of items, one of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that the visual indicators may be used while scrolling through any type of content being displayed (e.g., a webpage, document, etc.).
[0010] In some examples, when a user attempts to scroll to a particular end of a list while that particular end is already being displayed, a stretched version of that particular end of the list may be displayed. A stretched version of an end of a list may include displaying any portion of the end of a list in a stretched or elongated manner, such as displaying any number of items within the end of the list in a stretched or elongated manner, displaying an icon, image, graphic, and/or an animation in a stretched or elongated manner, and the like. The size and/or location of the stretched portion may be any suitable size and/or location. In some examples, the stretched portion may be based on the location of the user input. For example, when a user tries to move to the top of a list but is already viewing the top of the list, the list may stretch the display contents in the area above the location at which the user initially placed their finger to scroll.
[0011] In some examples, when a user attempts to scroll to a particular end of a list while that particular end is already being displayed, an icon, image, graphic, and/or an animation may be displayed and/or a particular sound may be played to notify the user that the particular end toward which the user is scrolling is already being displayed. The size and/or location of the icon, image, graphic, and/or an animation may be any suitable size and/or location. For example, when a user tries to move to the bottom of a list but is already viewing the bottom of the list, a spring may be displayed below the last item in the list to indicate that the bottom of the list has been reached. In some examples, the icon, image, graphic, and/or an animation displayed may be dependent upon the location and/or movement of the user input(s) received. For example, the size of the icon, image, graphic, and/or an animation may change as the user attempts to scroll to an end of a list (e.g., the size may increase as the user continues to attempt to scroll to an end). In some examples, as the user scrolls to an end of a list, the size of the icon, image, graphic, and/or an animation displayed may change (e.g., increase or decrease) to a predefined limit and/or size.
[0012] Referring now to the figures, FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an example computing device 100 for displaying an end of a list. As used herein, an end of a list may refer to any end of a list, such as the top of the list, the bottom of the list, and the like.
[0013] Computing device 00 may be, for example, a web-based server, a local area network server, a cloud-based server, a notebook computer, a desktop computer, an all-in-one system, a tablet computing device, a mobile phone, an electronic book reader, a printing device, or any other electronic device suitable for displaying an end of a list. Computing device 00 may include a processor 102 and a machine-readable storage medium 104.
Computing device 100 may receive and process any user inputs received from a user, such as user input 112. User input 1 12 may be any input from a user, such as a keyboard input, mouse input, touch input, and the like.
[0014] Processor 102 may be a central processing unit (CPU), a semiconductor-based microprocessor, and/or other hardware devices suitable for retrieval and execution of instructions stored in machine-readable storage medium 104. Processor 102 may fetch, decode, and execute instructions 106, 108, and 1 10 to control a process of displaying an end of a list. As an alternative or in addition to retrieving and executing instructions, processor 102 may include at least one electronic circuit that includes electronic components for performing the functionality of instructions 106, 108, 1 10, or a combination thereof.
[0015] Machine-readable storage medium 104 may be any electronic, magnetic, optical, or other physical storage device that contains or stores executable instructions. Thus, machine-readable storage medium 104 may be, for example, Random Access Memory (RAM), an Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM), a storage device, an optical disc, and the like. In some examples, machine-readable storage medium 104 may be a non-transitory storage medium, where the term "non-transitory" does not encompass transitory propagating signals. As described in detail below, machine-readable storage medium 104 may be encoded with a series of processor executable instructions 106, 08, and 1 10 for displaying a current display of a list of items, receiving a user input (e.g., user input 1 12) to scroll to an end of the list, determining whether the current display of the list includes the end of the list, and, if the current display includes the end of the list, displaying a stretched version of the end of the list or an indicator at the end of the list to indicate that the end of the list is being displayed.
[0016] Display instructions 106 may manage and control the display of content via computing device 100. For example, display instructions 106 may display content in the form of a list of items and may display a visual indicator (e.g., a stretched portion of the list, an icon, image, graphic, and/or an animation, etc.) indicating an end of the list has been reached.
[0017] User input instructions 108 may receive and process user inputs received by computing device 100 from a user. The user inputs received and processed may include any user inputs, such as a touch input, a keyboard input, a mouse input, and the like.
[0018] End of list determination instructions 1 10 may manage, control, determine, and identify whether the end of a list is being displayed and/or whether the user input received requests display of an end of a list that is already being displayed. For example, in response to a user input requesting to scroll and/or display the top of a list, end of list determination instructions 1 10 may determine and/or identify that the top of a list is already being displayed, which may cause display instructions to display a visual indicator that the top of the list has been reached.
[0019] FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating an example method 200 of displaying a stretched version of an end of a list. Method 200 may be implemented using computing device 100 of FIG. 1. [0020] Method 200 includes, at 202, displaying a current display of a list of items. For example, a particular portion of a list may be currently displayed via computing device 100.
[0021] Method 200 also includes, at 204, receiving a user input to scroll to an end of the list. For example, user inputs may be received when a user uses a finger to scroll through the list.
[0022] Method 200 also includes, at 206, determining whether the current display of the list includes the end of the list. This determination may be made in response to receiving the user input. For example, as the user is scrolling through the list, a determination may be made as to whether the currently displayed content includes the end of the list (e.g., may determine when the user inputs cause an end of the list to be displayed).
[0023] Method 200 also includes, at 208, if the current display includes the end of the list, displaying a stretched version of the end of the list. As described above, a stretched version of an end of a list may include displaying any portion of the end of a list in a stretched or elongated manner, such as displaying any number of items within the end of the list in a stretched or elongated manner, displaying an icon, image, graphic, and/or an animation in a stretched or elongated manner, and the like. For example, when the user scrolls to the end of the list, the end of the list may be displayed and as the user continues to scroll to that end of the list, at least a portion of the end of the list may be displayed as a stretched version of the end of the list.
[0024] FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating an example method 300 of displaying an indicator indicating an end of a list. Method 300 may be implemented using computing device 100 of FIG. 1.
[0025] Method 300 includes, at 302, providing a current display of a list of items. For example, a particular portion of a list may be currently provided to a user via computing device 100.
[0026] Method 300 also includes, at 304, receiving a user input to scroll to an end of the list. For example, user inputs may be received when a user uses a finger to scroll through the list. [0027] Method 300 also includes/ at 306, identifying that the current display of the list includes the end of the list. For example, as the user is scrolling through the list, computing device 100 may identify that the currently displayed content includes the end of the list (e.g., may identify that the user inputs cause an end of the list to be displayed).
[0028] Method 300 also includes, at 308, displaying a stretched indicator at the end of the iist, the stretched indicator indicating the end of the list is being displayed. A stretched indicator may include a stretched icon, image, graphic, animation, list item(s), and the like. The stretched indicator may be displayed in response to identifying that the current display of the list includes the end of the list. For example, when the user scrolls to the end of the list, the end of the list may be displayed and as the user continues to scroll to that end of the list, a stretched indicator (e.g., an icon, image, graphic, and/or an animation) may be displayed at or near the end of the list (e.g., adjacent to the end of the list) to indicate that the end of the list has been reached.
[0029] FIGS. 4A-4C are interface diagrams of example user interfaces 402 capable of displaying stretched versions of an end of a list. FIGS. 4A-4C show user interface 402 displayed on computing device 400, which may be similar to computing device 100 of FIG. 1 .
[0030] FIG. 4A shows an example list of items displayed on computing device 400 using user interface 402. The list of items currently displays Items A-G. A user may provide user inputs (e.g., touch inputs) to scroll through the list of items displayed.
[0031] FIG. 4B shows an example of a stretched portion of the list of items displayed on computing device 400 using user interface 402 in response to a user scrolling to the top of a list. If a user attempts to scroll to the top of the list when the top of the list is already currently being displayed, a portion of the list (e.g., Items A-C) may be displayed in a stretched or elongated manner. Any portion of the list may be stretched. In some examples, the portion that is stretched may be the portion from the end of the list to the location on the user interface 402 that corresponds to the user's initial user input. For example, if the user places a finger on Item D and starts scrolling to the top of the list from that point, the stretched portion may be the portion above Item D (e.g., Items A-C). In some examples, the amount that the portion is stretch may correspond to the rate of movement or the distance of movement of the user input. For example, the length of the stretched portion may correspond to the distance that the user drags a finger down computing device 400 to scroll to the top of the list.
[0032] FIG. 4C shows an example of a stretched portion of the list of items displayed on computing device 400 using user interface 402 in response to a user scrolling to the bottom of a list, similar to the example of FIG. 4B. If a user attempts to scroll to the bottom of the list when the bottom of the list is already currently being displayed, a portion of the list (e.g., Items X-Z) may be displayed in a stretched or elongated manner. In some examples in which the stretched portion is based on the location of the user input received, the user input may have been received within the Item W section shown in FIG. 4C.
[0033] In some examples, the stretched portion is displayed while the user input is being received (e.g., while the user is scrolling to an end of the list). When the user input is no longer received, the stretched portion may return to an unstretched version of the list, similar to that shown in FIG. 4A.
[0034] FIGS. 5A-5B are interface diagrams of example user interfaces 502 capable of displaying an indicator 504 indicating an end of a list. FIGS. 5A-5B show user interface 502 displayed on computing device 500, which may be similar to computing device 100 of FIG. 1 .
[0035] FIG. 5A shows an example of an indicator 504 shown above the list of items displayed on computing device 500 using user interface 502 in response to a user scrolling to the top of a list. If a user attempts to scroll to the top of the list when the top of the list is already currently being displayed, indicator 504 may be displayed to indicate that the top of the list is already displayed and that the user cannot scroll up any further. While indicator 504 is shown as an image of a spring, any type of indicator (e.g., an icon, image, graphic, an animation, etc.) may be displayed in any size and/or location to indicate the end of a list has been reached. In some examples, indicator 504 may be displayed at, near, and/or adjacent to the end of the list (e.g., above the item at the top of the list). In some examples, the size of indicator 504 may change with respect to the movement of the user input. For example, as the user scrolls up to the top of the list using the user's finger to provide an input, the size of indicator 504 may increase at a rate corresponding to the rate at which the user's finger is dragged along computing device 500.
[0036] FIG. 5B shows an example of an indicator 504 shown below the list of items displayed on computing device 500 using user interface 502 in response to a user scrolling to the bottom of a list, similar to the example of FIG. 5A. If a user attempts to scroll to the bottom of the list when the bottom of the list is already currently being displayed, indicator 504 may be displayed to indicate that the bottom of the list is already displayed and that the user cannot scroll down any further. As described above, indicator 504 may be displayed in any manner, size, and/or location. For example, as shown in FIG. 5B, indicator 504 is displayed below the item at the bottom of the list (e.g., Item Z).
[0037] In some examples, indicator 504 is displayed while the user input is being received (e.g., while the user is scrolling to an end of the list). When the user input is no longer received, indicator 504 may no longer be displayed with the list of items, and the list of items may be displayed in the original manner, similar to the list shown in FIG. 4A.
[0038] Examples provided herein (e.g., methods) may be implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of both. Example systems may include a controller/processor and memory resources for executing instructions stored in a tangible non-transitory medium (e.g., volatile memory, non-volatile memory, and/or machine-readable media). Non-transitory machine-readable media can be tangible and have machine-readable instructions stored thereon that are executable by a processor to implement examples according to the present disclosure.
[0039] An example system can include and/or receive a tangible non- transitory machine-readable medium storing a set of machine-readable instructions (e.g., software). As used herein, the controller/processor can include one or a plurality of processors such as in a parallel processing system. The memory can include memory addressable by the processor for execution of machine-readable instructions. The machine-readable medium can include volatile and/or non-volatile memory such as a random access memory ("RAM"), magnetic memory such as a hard disk, floppy disk, and/or tape memory, a solid state drive ("SSD"), flash memory, phase change memory, and so on.
