Description

应用的缩略图图像选择
背景技术
用于选择没有使接口当前呈现在显示器上的应用的常规技术常常是令人困惑的,占去有价值的显示空间,或者不能够跨越不同的装置被普遍地应用。例如,一些常规技术使得能够通过持久性任务栏中的屏上控件选择应用。然而,这些屏上控件占去有价值的显示不动产。
一些其它常规技术使得能够通过硬件(诸如热键和按钮)选择应用。最好的情况下,这些技术要求用户记住要选择什么键、键组合或硬件按钮。即使在这样的情况下,用户也常常偶然地选择不正确的键或按钮。进一步地,在许多情况下,硬件选择技术不能够被普遍地应用,因为计算装置上的硬件因装置模型、世代、厂商或制造商而不同。在这样的情况下,技术将不工作或者跨越不同的计算装置不同地工作。这加剧了用户需要记住正确硬件配置的问题,因为许多用户具有多个装置,并且所以可能需要针对不同的装置记住不同的硬件选择。更进一步地,对于许多计算装置来说,硬件选择迫使用户在用户的正常交互流程外参与计算装置,诸如当触摸屏装置要求用户将他的或她的精神和身体定向从基于显示器的交互改变为基于硬件的交互时。
发明内容

本发明内容被提供来引入针对应用的缩略图图像选择的简化构思,所述简化构思在下面在具体实施方式中被进一步描述。本发明内容不旨在识别所要求保护的主题的必要特征,它也不旨在用于在确定所要求保护的主题的范围时使用。使能实现应用的缩略图图像选择的技术和/或设备也在本文中单独地或相结合地被称为如由上下文所准许的“技术”。

具体实施方式
概述
本文档描述了使能实现应用的缩略图图像选择的技术和设备。在一些实施例中,这些技术使得用户能够迅速地且容易地选择应用。
考虑这样一种情况,其中用户访问购物网站并且为他的侄女的生日寻找玩具马,然后与本地字处理文档交互,然后访问相同的购物网站并且为他的侄女的生日寻找彩色书籍,然后访问社交联网网站,并且然后访问支持web的电台网站。假定用户在收听电台网站上的歌曲时,决定再访问购物网站以便购买玩具马。
用户例如可以通过开始于他的显示器的边缘处的并且远离该边缘“划扫”进显示器的手势简单地选择来迅速地以大尺寸或缩略图尺寸看到社交联网网站。用户可以再次划扫以便再访问具有彩色书籍等等的购物网站,直到具有玩具马的页面出现为止。然而,技术还可以或者替代地准许用户立刻看到多个缩略图图像,所述图像表示应用的接口如何将在选择时出现。因此,采用选择看到这些缩略图图像的简单手势,技术可以呈现示出玩具马的在其将在购物网站中被示出时的图片的缩略图、在缩略图图像中的用户最后打开的字处理文档(而不是字处理应用的图标)、针对示出彩色书籍的购物网站的另一缩略图、以及示出社交联网网站的在其被选择条件下将被呈现时的缩略图图像。在这样做时,用户可以容易地看到哪一个网页具有玩具马以及因此迅速地且容易地选择那个网页。在选择具有玩具马的缩略图时,技术呈现示出玩具马而不是彩色书籍的购物网站。
这仅仅是技术以其使能实现应用的缩略图图像选择的许多方式的一个例子,其它方式在下面被描述。
示例性系统
图1图示了用于应用的缩略图图像选择的技术在其中能够被具体化的示例性系统100。系统100包括计算装置102,其图示有六个例子:膝上型计算机104、平板计算机106、智能电话108、机顶盒110、台式计算机112以及游戏装置114,但是诸如服务器和上网本这样的其它计算装置和系统也可以被使用。
计算装置102包括(一个或多个)计算机处理器116和计算机可读存储媒体118(媒体118)。媒体118包括操作系统120、基于窗口的模式模块122、沉浸式模式模块124、系统接口模块126、手势处理机128、应用管理器130以及一个或多个应用132。应用管理器130包括或者能够访问应用队列134和/或应用组136。应用组136包括应用132中的一个或多个,它们中的每一个都具有应用接口138。一个或多个缩略图图像140基于针对应用组136中的那些应用的应用接口138被维护。
缩略图图像140提供与应用相关联的应用接口将如何出现或者最近如何出现过(如果由用户先前交互过)的某个指示。在一些实施例中,缩略图图像140是相应的应用接口的在该相应的应用接口在选择缩略图图像140时将出现时的或者在该相应的应用接口最后出现时的较小或较低分辨率图像。这些较小或较低分辨率图像可以包括应用接口的一部分而不是应用接口中的全部,诸如以便去除应用接口的广告或其它部分。剩余部分然后可以在尺寸上被减少或者在没有减少的情况下可以是足够小的。同样注意到,除尺寸以外,缩略图图像140可以与应用接口相同。
更进一步地,缩略图图像140可以包括移动项、视频、动画等等,因为它们将被示出或者被示出了,但是常常以小的或较低分辨率示出。因此,如果上述例子的玩具马被示出作为动画或在视频剪辑中小跑,则缩略图图像140可以以较小尺寸示出这种小跑。
计算装置102同样包括或者能够访问一个或多个显示器142和输入机制144。四个示例性显示器在图1中被图示。输入机制144可以包括手势敏感的传感器和装置,诸如基于触摸的传感器和移动追踪传感器(例如,基于摄像机的),以及鼠标(独立式的或与键盘成为一体的)、追踪垫和具有伴音识别软件的话筒等等。输入机制144可以是单独的或者与显示器142成为一体;整体例子包括具有集成的触摸敏感或运动敏感传感器的手势敏感的显示器。
基于窗口的模式模块122通过具有框架的窗口来呈现应用接口138。这些框架可以提供通过其来与应用132交互的控件和/或使得用户能够移动窗口并且重设窗口尺寸的控件。
沉浸模式模块124提供这样的环境,利用该环境用户可以通过应用接口138查看应用132中的一个或多个并且与其交互。在一些实施例中,这种环境呈现应用的内容以及使能实现与所述应用的交互,其具有很少的或没有窗口框架和/或无需用户管理窗口框架相对于其它窗口的布局或首位(例如,哪一个窗口是活动的或在前面)或者无需用户手动地调整应用接口138尺寸或者定位应用接口138。
这种环境能够是但不必需是宿主式(hosted)和/或浮出表面式(surfaced),而不使用基于窗口的桌面环境。因此,在一些情况下,沉浸式模式模块124呈现不是窗口(甚至没有基本框架的一个)的沉浸式环境并且阻止类似桌面的显示(例如,任务栏)的使用。更进一步地,在一些实施例中,这种沉浸式环境类似于操作系统之处在于它不是可闭的或者能够被卸载。虽然不要求,但是在一些情况下,这种沉浸式环境使得应用能够使用显示器的像素中的全部或几乎全部。沉浸式环境的例子在下面作为描述技术的一部分被提供,但是它们不是穷尽的或者也不旨在限制本文中所描述的技术。
系统接口模块126提供与操作系统120的交互通过其被使能实现的一个或多个接口,诸如应用启动接口、开始菜单或系统工具或选项菜单等等。
操作系统120、模块122、124和126以及手势处理机128和应用管理器130能够与彼此分开或者被以任何适合的形式组合或者集成。
示例性方法
示例性方法200、800以及900致力于边缘手势,示例性方法1400和1700致力于切换回到先前交互的应用,并且方法1900、2100以及2300致力于应用的缩略图图像选择。方法200、800、900、1400以及1700中的任何一个或多个可以被单独地或者整个或部分地与方法1900、2100和/或2300相结合地使用。边缘手势可以被用来选择切换回到在先应用或者选择呈现具有可选缩略图图像的用户接口,作为各种方法能够以其被组合或互补运作的仅仅两个示例性方式,但是边缘手势的使用不是方法1400、1700、1900、2100和/或2300所必需的。
图2描绘了用于基于边缘手势近似与手势在其中开始的边缘垂直而使能实现边缘手势的方法200。在以下讨论的部分中,可以对图1的系统100做出参考,对其的参考仅出于例子的目的被做出。
框202接收手势。该手势可以在显示器的各种部分处被接收,诸如在基于窗口的接口上、沉浸式接口上、或无接口。此外,该手势可以以各种方式被做出和接收,诸如追踪通过触摸板、鼠标、或滚动球接收的移动或通过运动敏感或触摸敏感的机制接收的由(一个或多个)臂、(一个或多个)手指或触针做出的身体移动的指针。
通过例子,考虑图3,其图示了平板计算装置106。平板106包括触摸敏感的显示器302,该显示器302被示出为显示包括网页306的沉浸式接口304。作为正在进行的例子的部分,在框202处,手势处理机128接收如图3所示的手势308。
框204确定该手势的起始点是否处于边缘。正如上文所指出的,所讨论的该边缘可以是应用接口(无论是沉浸式的或是基于窗口的)的边缘和/或显示器的边缘。在一些情况下,理所当然地,应用接口的边缘同样是显示器的边缘。该边缘的尺寸可以基于关于该显示器或接口的各种因素而变化。小型的显示器或接口比大型显示器或接口在绝对值(absolute)或像素方面可以具有更小的尺寸。高敏感的输入机制同样准许较小的边缘。示例性的边缘是矩形的并在一个维度(dimension)中在一到二十像素之间改变,以及在另一维度中有该接口或显示器的接口限制,但包括凸和凹边缘的其它尺寸和形状也可以被替代地使用。
继续该正在进行的例子,考虑图4,其图示了图3的沉浸式接口304和手势308以及左边缘402、顶部边缘404、右边缘406和底部边缘408。出于视觉上清楚的目的,网页306未被示出。在这个例子中,该接口和显示器的维度属于中等尺寸,介于智能电话和许多膝上型和台式显示器的尺寸之间。边缘402、404、406以及408具有二十像素的小维度,所示的每个边缘的区域分别由边缘界线410,412,414以及416处的距该显示器或接口界线二十像素的虚线作为界限。
手势处理机128确定手势308具有起始点418,并且这个起始点418在左边缘402内。手势处理机128在这种情况下通过接收指示手势308开始处的像素的[X,Y]坐标的数据并将这些坐标的第一个与每个边缘402-408内含有的那些像素比较来确定该起始点。手势处理机128通常能够比采样率更快地确定该起始点以及它是否在边缘中,从而相比于那些简单将手势直接传递到在其上做出手势的暴露的接口的技术来说导致更少的或没有性能的下降。
一般地返回到方法200,如果框204确定该手势的起始点不在边缘处,方法200沿着“否”路径行进到框206。框206将该手势传递到暴露的应用接口,诸如在其上该手势被接收的底层接口。变更正在进行的例子,假设手势308被确定为不具有在边缘内的起始点。在这样的情况下,手势处理机128将针对手势308的缓冲的数据传递到沉浸式应用接口304。在传递该手势后,方法200结束。
如果框204确定该手势的起始点在边缘中,方法200沿着“是”路径行进到框208。框208通过确定从该手势的该起始点到稍后点的线与该边缘是否近似垂直来响应框204的肯定确定。
在一些实施例中,框208确定所使用的该稍后点。例如,手势处理机128能够基于稍后点在与该边缘或该起始点预设的距离处被接收来确定该手势的稍后点,诸如越过边缘402的边缘界线410或距起始点418二十像素、图4的全部。在一些其它实施例中,手势处理机128基于稍后点在该起始点的接收后预设的时间被接收来确定该稍后点,这样的时间量稍微大于计算装置102一般用于确定该手势是轻敲并保持或悬停手势的时间。
对于正在进行的该实施例,手势处理机128使用在边缘402外部接收的手势308的稍后接收点,只要该稍后接收点在预设的时间内被接收。如果在该预设的时间内该边缘的外部没有点被接收,手势处理机128行进到框206并将手势308传递到沉浸式接口304。
通过使用该起始点,框208确定从该手势的起始点到稍后点的线是否与该边缘近似垂直。各种偏差角可以被框208使用在这种确定中,诸如五,十,二十或三十度。
通过例子,考虑与垂直方向三十度的偏差角。图5图示了该示例性的偏差,其示出图3和4的沉浸式接口304,手势308,左边缘402,左边缘界线410以及起始点418,连同图示了与垂直线504的三十度的偏差线502。因此,手势处理机128基于从起始点418到稍后点508的线506(该线偏离垂直方向约二十度)在示例性的三十度偏差线502内确定其是近似垂直的。
一般地,如果框208确定该线不近似垂直于该边缘,方法200沿着“否”路径行进到框206。正如上面部分中所指出的,框208还可以确定手势的稍后点或其它方面使该手势不合格。例子包括当稍后点在该边缘内时,诸如由于悬停,轻敲,按压并保持或上下手势(例如为了滚动该应用接口中的内容)之类造成的,或当该手势被设置为单一输入手势并且第二输入被接收时(例如第一个手指在边缘处开始但是第二个手指之后落到任何地方)。
如果框208基于该边缘外部的稍后点确定该线近似垂直,方法200沿着“是”路径行进到框210。
框210通过将该手势传递到所暴露的应用接口之外的实体来响应框208的肯定确定。这个实体不是该手势在其上被接收的应用接口,假设该手势完全在应用接口上被接收。框210同样可以诸如基于其中手势的起始点被接收的边缘或边缘的区之类确定将该手势传递到哪个实体。例如考虑图6,其图示了图4的沉浸式接口304和边缘402、404、406以及408,但是向右边缘406添加了顶部区602和底部区604。在顶部区602中的起始点与接收到底部区604的起始点相比能够导致不同的实体(或甚至相同的实体但作为响应被提供的不同的应用接口)。类似地,在顶部边缘404中的起始点与左边缘402或底部边缘408相比能够导致不同的实体或接口。
在一些情况下,这个实体是与该应用接口相关联的应用。在这样的情况下,向该实体传递该手势对导致该应用呈现使能实现与该应用的交互的第二应用接口可以是有效的。因此,播放电影的媒体播放器能够呈现使得能够选择字幕或导演的评论的第二应用接口。这种能力在图1中被准许,其中应用132中的一个能够包括或能够呈现多于一个的应用接口138。因此,框210能够将该手势传递到系统接口模块126、应用132中的当前呈现该应用接口的一个应用、或应用132中的另一个应用(仅举出三种可能性)。
结束正在进行的实施例,在框210,手势处理机128将手势308传递到系统接口模块126。系统接口模块126接收手势308的缓冲的部分并在该用户做出手势308时继续接收它的剩余部分。图7图示了接收手势308后可能的响应,示出由系统接口模块126呈现的并且在来自图3的沉浸式接口304和网页306上的应用选择接口702。应用选择接口702使得能够选择在可选择的应用拼贴块(tile)704,706,708以及710处的各种其它应用以及它们的相应接口。
该示例性的应用选择接口702是使用沉浸式模式模块124呈现的沉浸式应用接口,但这不是必需的。所呈现的接口可以替代地是基于窗口的,并且使用基于窗口的模块122被呈现。这些模块二者被图示在图1中。
框210可以同样地或替代地基于关于所接收的手势的其它因素确定将该手势传递到不同的实体和/或接口。示例性的因素在下文的方法800中被更加详细地描述。
应当指出的是,方法200及下文中描述的其它方法可以被实时执行,诸如当手势被做出和接收时。这尤其准许响应于手势所呈现的应用接口先于该手势的完成被呈现。此外,该应用接口可以在该手势被接收到时被渐进地呈现。当该手势以看起来像“粘”住该手势的应用接口(例如粘住做出该手势的鼠标指针或人的手指)被执行时,这准许将应用接口从该边缘拖出来的用户体验。
图8描绘了用于使能实现边缘手势的方法800,该方法包括基于该手势的某种因素确定呈现的接口。在下文中讨论的部分中,对图1的系统100进行参考,对其的参考仅仅出于例子的目的被做出。方法800可以整个或部分地与本文所描述的其它方法分离或结合地起作用。
框802确定在应用接口上做出的手势在该应用接口的边缘处具有起始点,并且具有不在该边缘内的稍后点。框802可以类似于方法200的各方面来操作或使用方法200的各方面,诸如确定使框802的确定所基于的稍后点。框802同样可以不同地运作。
例如,在一种情况下,框802确定手势为单指划扫手势,该手势开始于所暴露的沉浸式应用接口的边缘处并具有不在该边缘处的稍后点,但是这种确定并不基于该手势的角度。基于这种确定,框802行进到框804而不是将该手势传递到所暴露的沉浸式应用接口。
框804基于该手势的一个或更多因素确定呈现哪个接口。框804可以基于该手势的最终或中间长度来做这件事,无论该手势是单点还是多点的(例如单指或多指手势),或者可以基于该手势的速度来做这件事。因此,框804可以响应于多指手势确定呈现开始菜单,响应于相对短的单指手势呈现应用选择接口,或响应于相对长的单指手势呈现准许选择关闭计算装置102的系统控制接口。为了这样做,手势处理机128可以确定该手势的长度,或输入(例如手指)的数量。作为响应,框806呈现所确定的应用接口。
通过例子,假设手势处理机128基于该手势的因素确定呈现使能实现与操作系统120的交互的应用接口。作为响应,系统接口模块126呈现该应用接口。该应用接口的呈现可以类似于其它方法中所描述的方式,诸如以图7的应用选择用户接口702的渐进显示进行呈现。
跟随在方法200和/或方法800的全部或部分之后,所述技术可以行进到执行图9的方法900。方法900使得能够扩展应用接口、呈现另一接口,或终止响应于边缘手势呈现的应用接口的呈现。
框902在第二应用接口的至少某部分的呈现后接收该手势的相继点。正如上文部分中所指出的,方法200和/或800能够呈现或导致呈现第二应用接口,诸如针对与当前应用接口相关联的相同应用、不同的应用、或系统接口的第二应用接口。
通过例子,考虑图10,其图示了具有触摸敏感的显示器1002的膝上型计算机104,该显示器1002显示基于窗口的电子邮件接口1004和两个沉浸式接口1006和1008。基于窗口的电子邮件接口1004与管理电子邮件的应用相关联,所述应用对于膝上型计算机104可以远程的或本地的。图10同样图示了两个手势1010和1012。手势1010在直线上行进而手势1012反回(用两个箭头示出以便示出两个方向)。
图11图示了具有起始点1102、稍后点1104和相继点1106的手势1010,以及具有相同起始点1102,稍后点1108和第一相继点1110和第二相继点1112的手势1012。图11还示出底部边缘1114,稍后点区域1116,以及接口附加区域1118。
框904基于该相继点确定该手势是否包括反转、延伸或二者均不包括。框904可以通过确定相继点在该边缘处或比该手势在先的点更接近于该边缘来确定反转。框904可以基于相继点与该边缘或该稍后点相距预设距离来确定该手势延伸。如果这二者都没有被确定为真,那么方法900可以重复框902和904来接收和分析附加的相继点直到该手势结束。如果框904确定存在反转,方法900沿着“反转”路径行进到框906。如果框904确定该手势被延伸,方法900沿着“延伸”路径行进到框908。
在本例子的上下文中,假设手势处理机128接收手势1012的第一相继点1110。手势处理机128然后确定第一相继点1110不在边缘1114处,不比该手势在先的点更接近边缘1114(例如不比稍后点1108更接近),并且由于不在接口附加区1118内,因此与该边缘或稍后点的距离不是预设的距离。在这样的情况下,方法900返回到框902。
在框902的第二次迭代中,假设手势处理机128接收第二相继点1112。在这样的情况下,手势处理机128确定第二相继点1112比第一相继点1110更接近边缘1114,并且因此手势1012包括反转。手势处理机128然后行进到框906来终止呈现先前响应于该手势所呈现的第二应用接口。通过例子,考虑图12,其图示了电子邮件处理接口1202。在框906的这个示例性情况中,手势处理机128导致该电子邮件应用响应于手势1012的反转终止呈现接口1202(未示出被移除)。
然而,框908呈现或导致呈现第三应用接口或第二应用接口的扩展。继续正在进行的例子,考虑图13,其图示了响应于手势1010的附加电子邮件选项接口1302,该手势1010被确定为具有距边缘1104预设距离的相继点1106,在这种情况下该相继点1106在图11的接口附加区1118内。该区和预设距离可以基于先前被呈现以响应于该手势的应用接口的尺寸被设置。因此,希望添加附加控件的用户可以简单地将该手势延伸越过响应于该手势早先的部分被呈现的应用接口。
方法900可以被重复来添加附加的应用接口或扩展所呈现的应用接口。例如,返回到图7中的示例接口702,当手势308延伸越过接口702时,手势处理机128能够继续为接口702添加接口或控件,诸如通过呈现可选择的应用拼贴块的附加的集合。如果手势308延伸越过附加的拼贴块,手势处理机128可能导致系统接口模块126呈现邻近该拼贴块的另外的接口来使用户能够选择诸如暂停、休眠、切换模式(沉浸式到基于窗口以及反过来),或关闭计算装置102之类的控件。
尽管响应于边缘手势呈现的上述的示例性的应用接口是不透明的,它们也可以是部分透明的。这由于不遮盖内容可以是有用的。在上文描述的电影例子中,所呈现的应用接口可以是部分透明的,从而准许该电影在该应用接口的使用期间仅仅被部分地遮盖。类似地,在图12和13的示例中,接口1202和1302可以是部分透明的,从而使用户在能够看见该电子邮件的文本的同时同样能够选择接口之一中的控件。
如上面所指出的那样,示例性方法200、800以及900致力于边缘手势并且在方法1400和1700之前被描述,所述方法1400和1700致力于切换回到先前交互的应用,所述方法1400和1700进而在致力于使用缩略图图像选择应用的方法1900、2100以及2300之前被描述。这些方法中的任何一个或多个可以被单独地或者整个或部分地与任何其它方法相结合地使用。
图14描绘了用于使用队列切换回到先前交互的应用的方法1400。在以下讨论的部分中,对图1的系统100、方法200、800和/或900以及上面所描述的示例性实施例做出参考,对其的参考仅出于例子的目的做出。
框1402维护多个交互应用的队列,所述队列按除当前应用以外的最近交互的(most-recently-interacted-with)应用到最久未交互的(least-recently-interacted-with)应用被布置。例如,考虑图15,图15图示了用户以其与各种应用交互的交互顺序1502。第一,用户通过web搜索应用1504的接口与web搜索应用1504交互。第二,用户通过web浏览器与支持web的媒体应用1506交互。第三,用户通过本地(非web)照片应用1508的接口与本地(非web)照片应用1508交互。第四,用户通过web浏览器与社交联网应用1510交互。第五,用户返回到与支持web的媒体应用1506交互。第六,用户再次通过web浏览器与支持web的新闻应用1512交互。
对于第一交互,没有队列被维护,因为没有其它应用已在该第一交互之前被交互过。对于交互顺序1502的第二至第六交互,考虑队列1514、1516、1518、1520以及1522,其分别对应于交互顺序1502中的在第一交互之后的每个交互。队列1514至1522是由应用管理器130所维护的应用队列134(两者是图1的)的示例性迭代。
如图15中所示,应用管理器130基于用户的交互来使应用队列134保持最新。队列1522例如包括作为最近交互的应用的媒体应用1506,后面是社交联网应用1510、照片应用1508,并且以web搜索应用1504结束。当用户与媒体应用1506交互两次(在第二交互和第五交互处)时,应用管理器130在第五交互处将它从应用队列134去除,并且重排其它应用以便反映交互的最新顺序但排除当前交互的应用。
框1404接收手势或手势部分。该手势或手势部分能够包括在本文中别处所描述的各种手势或部分中的一个或多个。在一些实施例中,手势部分被接收到,每个部分是一个手势的一部分并且每个都导致队列中的应用的呈现。
继续正在进行的实施例,再次考虑图3,图3图示了具有触摸敏感显示器302的平板计算装置106,所述触摸敏感显示器302被示出为显示包括网页306的沉浸式接口304。对于这个例子,假定沉浸式接口304与新闻应用1512相关联并且网页306是来自新闻应用1512的内容。
作为这个例子的一部分,在框1404处,手势处理机128接收如图3中所示出的手势308,手势处理机128将所述手势308传递给应用管理器130。对于正在进行的例子,假定手势308被确定为与切换回到先前交互的应用而不是某个其它功能或应用相关联。
框1406响应于接收到手势或手势部分,通过队列行进到多个交互的应用的另一应用。因此,在接收到手势或(一个或多个)手势部分时,应用管理器130可以行进到应用队列134中的第一以及因此最近交互的应用。在一些实施例中,在接收到两个手势或部分时,应用管理器130可以行进到应用队列134的第二最近交互的应用,但是方法1400可以通过像下面所描述的那样重复框1404、1406和/或1408等等这样做。
继续正在进行的实施例,假定手势308在第六交互之后被接收到,此时当前交互的应用是新闻应用1512并且应用队列134是最新的以及由图15的队列1522表示。在这样的情况下,应用管理器130在接收到手势或手势部分时行进到媒体应用1506。
框1408呈现与另一个应用相关联的应用接口。这个应用接口在一些实施例中是与应用的交互先前通过其被做出的相同的应用接口。在一些实施例中,该应用接口被作为缩略图或透明覆盖图呈现在当前呈现的应用接口之上。应用管理器130单独地或者与所关联的应用相结合地(诸如通过使所关联的应用呈现用户最后与其交互的应用接口)呈现这个应用接口。
对于这个例子,应用管理器130随着手势308被接收而渐进地呈现针对应用的应用接口的缩略图图像,并且然后在手势结束时扩展缩略图以包含显示器的可用不动产。应用管理器130从而取代沉浸式接口304中的网页306或者用另一接口取代沉浸式接口304,所述另一接口可以是沉浸式或基于窗口的。
这在图16中用呈现在沉浸式接口304和新闻应用1512的网页306之上的媒体应用1506的应用接口的缩略图图像1602被图示。在手势308结束之后,缩略图图像1602扩展成全尺寸应用接口1604,从而取代沉浸式接口304中的网页306。这仅仅是用于呈现针对所选应用的应用接口的一个示例性方式,用于渐进地或者以其它方式响应的其它方式在本文中别处被描述。
在一些实施例中,框1408使当前应用接口缩小为第二缩略图图像并且向显示器的首先提到的缩略图图像从其被渐进地呈现的区传递第二缩略图图像。因此,框1408将缩略图图像1602扩展成全尺寸应用接口1604,同时使网页306缩小为缩略图图像并且将该缩略图传递向缩略图图像1602从其被选择的边缘。
在框1408处呈现应用接口期间,另一手势或手势部分可以被接收到,从而返回到框1404。在一些情况下,当应用接口被框1408呈现时另一个手势或手势部分在一定数量的时间内被接收到。紧跟返回到框1404之后,框1406然后可以行进到多个交互的应用中的又一个或后续应用。继续这种进展,框1408然后呈现与多个交互的应用中的后续应用相关联的应用接口。
因此,通过重复框1404、1406以及1408,与先前交互的应用相关联的应用接口能够被相继地呈现。在一些情况下,与先前交互的应用相关联的应用接口能够响应于被接收到的每个手势而被呈现。在本例子的上下文中,当另一手势在呈现媒体应用1506的应用接口时被接收到时,与社交联网应用1510(队列1522的第二最近交互的应用)相关联的应用接口被呈现。在与社交联网应用1510相关联的应用接口的呈现期间接收到又一个手势或手势部分导致与照片应用1508(队列1522的第三最近交互的应用)相关联的应用接口的呈现等等。
紧跟从呈现当前应用到呈现另一选择的在先应用的这种切换之后,框1410响应于与另一个应用相关联的应用接口的交互或在与另一个应用相关联的应用接口的呈现期间某一时间段流逝而更新队列。在一些情况下,在先应用可以被选择并且然后在它之后另一应用被迅速地选择,从而有效地浏览队列中的应用。在这样的情况下,框1410可以放弃更新队列,因为快速查看可能不被认为是交互。
应用管理器130用其更新应用队列134的示例性交互包括显式选择以便与新近呈现的接口交互,诸如以便使用媒体播放机的全尺寸应用接口1604中所示出的控件来控制重放或者编辑涉及当前播放媒体的信息。在其它情况下,交互基于一时间段流逝而被确定。例如,假定新闻应用的网页在选择时被呈现而不是当前应用。在一段时间(诸如一、二或三秒)之后,例如,应用管理器130基于用户正在阅读网页中的新闻文章的可能性来确定延迟实际上是交互。类似地,在框1408处对于正在播放媒体并且在没有对应用队列134中的应用的另一选择的情况下保持在显示器上的媒体应用的应用接口的呈现也能够被认为是交互。
如上面部分指出的那样,应用队列134可以是循环的。在这样做时,如果用户到达应用队列134的最久未交互的应用,则应用的选择不被停止而相反地滚动。例如,在选择从社交联网应用1510切换回到在先应用以及因此使用队列1518时,切换回一次导致选择照片应用1508,两次导致媒体应用1506,以及三次到web搜索应用1504。切换回的第四选择以循环方式返回,以便再次导致呈现照片应用1508。
方法1400描述了技术以其能够使能实现先前交互的应用的选择并且基于队列来确定要呈现哪一个的各种方式。方法1700可以与本文中所描述的方法1400和其它方法相结合地操作,但是使用队列不是必需的。因此,方法1400不旨在限制如示例性方法1700中所描述的技术。
图17描绘了用于切换回到先前交互的应用的方法1700,其可以或者可以不使用队列。在以下讨论的部分中,对图1的系统100、方法200、800、900、1400以及上面所描述的示例性实施例做出参考,对其的参考仅出于例子的目的被做出。
框1702使得能够通过在与当前应用相关联的当前应用接口之上做出的手势选择先前交互的应用。作为仅仅一个例子,框1702可以以上面所描述的各种方式(诸如用边缘手势或其部分)这样做。
框1704响应于接收到手势并且在没有进一步选择的情况下,呈现与先前交互的应用相关联的先前的应用接口。
例如,假定与在先应用的选择相关联的手势的一部分被接收到,所述手势的一部分诸如是在当前应用接口的边缘处开始并且近似垂直地远离边缘行进的边缘手势。作为响应,框1704呈现针对先前交互的应用的应用接口或该接口的缩略图图像,或连同被选择应用或接口的指示器一起呈现选择被成功地做出的某个指示器。
示例性缩略图图像或指示器包括图7的可选应用拼贴块704、706、708以及710中的任一个,所述可选应用拼贴块中的一些包括接口的缩略图图像,而其它的指示被选择的应用。另一例子是图16的缩略图图像1602。
框1704呈现所选的先前交互的应用的应用接口,如图16中以全尺寸应用接口1604所示出的那样。在这样做时,框1704可以在没有进一步选择的情况下通过沉浸式接口304使能实现与照片应用1508的交互。因此,用户在用区区一个手势选择在先应用之后,可以在无需做出另一选择的情况下进行交互。例如,用户不需要选择退出应用选择模式,或者不需要使所呈现的接口成为“活的”或第一位的或在栈之上。简言之,技术用单个输入使能实现在先应用的选择和与该在先应用的进一步交互。
在图16的这个例子中,紧接在全尺寸应用接口1604被呈现并且代替网页306之后,到沉浸式接口304的下一个输入被立即传递给照片应用1508。因此,轻敲、热键或其它输入被直接地传递给照片应用1508,从而使能实现照片应用1508对输入的立即响应。
在一些实施例中,在当前应用接口之上做出的手势包括诸多部分,其中的每一个都指示在先应用的选择。在这样的情况下,框1704响应于第一部分而呈现先前的应用接口,并且然后,响应于框1702接收到手势的第二部分,呈现与另一个先前交互的应用相关联的另一个先前的应用接口等等。
这在图18中被图示,图18呈现图16的沉浸式接口304(为了视觉清楚被示出两次),以及框1704能够以其对多个手势或单个手势的部分做出响应的方式。图18图示了两个渐进式呈现1802和1804,以及分别具有两个手势部分1806-1和1806-2的手势1806。第一渐进式呈现1802图示了从缩略图图像1602的沉浸式接口304的左边缘起的拖曳,以及因此图示了对先前交互的照片应用1508的选择。注意,缩略图图像1602“粘”到手势部分1806-1。同样注意到,不像图3和16的手势308一样,手势1806返回到左边缘。作为响应,不是手势308结束并且全尺寸应用接口1604代替网页306,而是手势1806的手势部分1806-1返回到它开始所在的边缘。在这种情况下,缩略图图像1602随着手势部分1806-1被渐进式地显示,但是然后在手势部分1806-1返回到边缘或另一无效手势结束位置时消失。
手势1806继续进行第二部分1806-2。作为响应,框1704呈现第二渐进式呈现1804,其图示了从沉浸式接口304的左边缘起的第二拖曳。在这里,另一个在先应用(社交联网应用1510)的社交网络缩略图图像1808被渐进地呈现。手势1806作为第二部分1806-2的一部分返回到左边缘。作为响应,框1704在手势部分1806-2返回到边缘时放下(drop off)缩略图图像1808。这仅仅是技术以其使得用户能够仅用单个手势来选择并且查看在先应用、甚至先前交互的应用中的全部的方式的一个例子。在这个例子中的任何点处,手势1806可以结束或者指示用来针对所选应用呈现全应用接口的选择,此时框1704呈现该应用接口(例如,图16的全尺寸应用接口1604或针对社交联网应用的全应用接口)。
前面的讨论描述了一些方法,技术可以以其使能实现切换回到先前交互的应用。其它方法描述了技术以其使能实现和/或使用边缘手势的方式。致力于应用的缩略图图像选择的另外的其它的方法在下面被描述。这些方法被示出为框的集合,其规定被执行操作,但是未必限于用于通过相应的框所示出的用于执行操作的顺序。
图19描绘了使能实现应用的缩略图图像选择的方法1900。在以下讨论的部分中,对图1的系统100、方法200、800、900、1400、1700以及上面所描述的示例性实施例做出参考,对其的参考仅出于例子的目的被做出。
框1902维护针对应用的缩略图图像。如本文中所指出的那样,这些应用可以是先前交互的、最近交互的、由用户或其它实体基于设定或用户兴趣或流行性而设置纳入的(而无论它们是否已被最近交互过)等等。它们可以被以各种方式(诸如针对上面所指出的应用队列134中的应用所设置的顺序)布置,但是这不是必需的。此外,应用的数量能够基于屏幕不动产而变化,诸如对于智能电话来说三个缩略图图像,对于平板来说六个,以及对于大显示器膝上型或台式计算机来说十二个,仅举几例。
例如,假定管理器130基于针对平板计算机106的屏幕不动产的尺寸来维护多达六个缩略图图像140。同样假定管理器130在应用组136中维护多个六个应用,所述六个应用被选择为最近交互的但是当前不在屏幕上的最后四个应用,以及基于常常被与平板计算机106相关联的用户常用的两个应用。因此,管理器130构建应用组136的应用,前四个具有与如在本文中别处所描述的图1的应用队列134的顺序类似的顺序,并且紧跟在这四个应用之后为常常被使用但是当前不在屏幕上并且不是前四个应用的两个应用。
框1904接收选择缩略图的呈现的手势或手势部分。这些手势或手势部分能够包括在本文中别处所描述的各种手势或手势部分中的一个或多个,诸如追踪通过各种鼠标装置(例如,触摸板、滚动球鼠标、轨迹球鼠标、铅笔尖鼠标、传统鼠标)所接收到的移动或用(一个或多个)臂、(一个或多个)手指或触针做出的通过运动敏感或触摸敏感机制所接收到的身体移动的指针。手势的这个和在先或后续部分可以具有但不必须具有在显示器的边缘处的起始点、不在显示器的边缘处的稍后点、以及在显示器的边缘处的相继点。因此,具有多个部分的手势在这种情况下将看起来有点像多环螺旋、多个圆,或来回(例如,之字形),其中每个环、圆或者来回开始、离开并且返回到应用接口或显示器的边缘。
通过例子,考虑手势部分是具有在先部分的正在进行的手势的一部分的情况。同样假定在先部分选择了应用132中的一个,诸如图16中所示出的。在这样的情况下,手势的与使用边缘手势对在先应用的选择相关联的部分被接收到,所述边缘手势在当前应用接口的边缘处开始并且远离边缘近似垂直地行进。作为响应,管理器130呈现针对先前交互的应用的大缩略图图像。这被用图16的缩略图图像1602示出。
然而,在框1904处接收到的手势部分选择终止与应用相关联的缩略图图像(在这里为缩略图图像1602)的呈现。在这个例子中,手势部分向边缘返回。作为响应,管理器130终止呈现缩略图图像1602并且确定对具有多个可选缩略图图像的用户接口的选择是有意的。
框1906响应于接收到第一手势或手势部分将用户接口呈现在显示器上,所述用户接口具有针对应用的缩略图图像,缩略图图像中的每一个都是针对应用中的相应一个的应用接口的视觉表示。框1906可以以各种方式呈现用户接口,诸如从与像上面针对大缩略图图像1602所描述的类似的显示器的边缘渐进地呈现,但是这不是必需的。
继续正在进行的例子,考虑图20,图20图示了沉浸式接口304中的网页306,用户接口2002被呈现在其上。用户接口2002包括缩略图图像2004、2006、2008、2010、2012以及2014,应用组136的应用132中的每一个对应一个。
框1908通过第二手势或稍后的手势部分来接收对缩略图图像的所选缩略图图像的选择,第二手势或稍后的手势部分将所选缩略图图像从用户接口拖曳到显示器的区。
缩略图所被拖曳到的区能够变化并且导致不同的效果。例如,区可以包括显示器的边缘,诸如图6中所示出的那些中的一些。区还可以或者替代地包括由窗口环境或沉浸式环境所表示的那些,诸如图10的电子邮件接口1004以及两个沉浸式接口1006和1008。基于缩略图所被拖曳到的区的效果在下面作为框1910的一部分被描述。
框1910响应于接收到选择并且基于所选缩略图图像所被拖曳到的显示器的区,呈现与所选缩略图图像相关联的应用接口,其对于使能实现同与所选缩略图图像相关联的所选应用的交互是有效的。
框1910至少部分地基于区将应用接口以一尺寸和/或位置呈现。例如,响应于接收到图20的缩略图2008到图20的沉浸式环境304的中心的拖曳,应用管理器130用表示缩略图2008的扩展的全尺寸应用接口代替网页306。
通过另一例子,响应于接收到缩略图到边缘的拖曳,应用管理器130可以向该边缘并且以无论什么应用当前在边缘处的尺寸或者基于针对该窗口或沉浸式区域的先前设置的尺寸来对齐(snap)应用接口。应用接口通过被自动地以某一尺寸或位置来呈现而被“对齐”到所述位置和/或尺寸,而无需用户手动地移动到所述位置并且调整应用接口尺寸和/或精确地定位或者调整应用接口尺寸。因此,用户可以将缩略图图像移动到大致在显示器的边缘处的区,在这之后应用管理器130精确地在边缘处并且以适当的(较大)尺寸定位应用接口。对齐能够被逐渐示出,诸如缩略图图像从用户接口(如果在未被移动的情况下被选择)移动到所述位置和/或缩略图图像被逐渐放大至应用接口的尺寸,但是这不是必需的。技术可以呈现与所选缩略图相关联的应用接口的许多方式中的一些的例子在图10和16中被示出。
框1910可以用所选应用的接口代替与在先应用相关联的在先呈现的应用接口,从而假定另一应用接口被呈现。结束正在进行的例子,假定用户在沉浸式接口304的某个部分之上拖曳缩略图2010并且然后通过将他或她的手指从显示器抬起或者在鼠标按钮上点击或者轻敲触摸板来结束手势。作为响应,应用管理器130去除网页306并且呈现应用接口,其与以全尺寸应用接口1604所示出的图16的结果类似,但是与接收到的手势不同。
可选地,技术可以变更应用组136,其对于变更如果用户接口再次被选择的话被呈现或者将被呈现的缩略图是有效的。因此,在以上例子中选择缩略图2010时,在稍后选择缩略图图像的时候,框1906可以终止呈现缩略图2010并且替代地呈现表示网页306的缩略图。
方法1900使能实现通过手势选择缩略图图像以及呈现它们的用户接口,所述手势可以是基于鼠标的或另外的。方法2100至少部分地使得能够用基于鼠标的手势选择。如上面所指出的那样,基于鼠标的手势能够使用各种装置,诸如触摸板、滚动球鼠标、传统鼠标等等。这些基于鼠标的手势呈现在显示器上可见的鼠标指针或其它选择器,用户通过其与装置交互。
框2102诸如以上面针对框1902所阐述的各种方式来维护针对应用的缩略图图像。
框2104接收第一基于鼠标的手势。该第一基于鼠标的手势可以是上面所阐述的许多手势中的一个。可选地,技术可以在接收到第一基于鼠标的手势之前指示用户接口是可选择的,所述指示在显示器的边缘处示出针对缩略图图像中的每一个的标记。
通过例子,考虑图22,图22图示了具有网页306、用户接口标记2202以及缩略图标记2204、2206、2208、2210、2212和2214的沉浸式接口304。这些标记对于引导用户决定具有缩略图的用户接口的呈现是否是由用户所期望的可能是有用的。标记的呈现可以对用户动作做出响应或以其它方式做出响应。因此,在将指针移动到显示器的边缘时,技术可以呈现标记。在另一个动作(诸如将指针从该边缘的顶或底角向标记移动)之后,用户接口像在下面所描述的那样被呈现。假定选择缩略图的手势诸如通过指针2216向标记的移动或者标记在其中被示出的边缘处的选择(例如,鼠标的点击、在触摸板上轻敲或以指针悬停)而被接收到。
框2106响应于接收到第一基于鼠标的手势将用户接口呈现在显示器上,所述用户接口具有针对应用的缩略图图像,缩略图图像中的每一个都是针对应用中的相应一个的应用接口的视觉表示。一个示例性接口以图22中的用户接口2002被示出。
