Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented user interface method, comprising: displaying content on a graphical user interface of a mobile computing device, wherein the content comprises a list of information; receiving a first user input on a touchscreen of the mobile computing device indicating an intent to perform one or more motion-based display operations on the graphical user interface; sensing a tilting motion of the mobile computing device, wherein the sensed tilting motion comprises a sensed tilting of the mobile computing device; determining a tilt angle of the mobile computing device in response to sensing the tilting motion; identifying the tilt angle as being within a particular tilt angle range from among a plurality of tilt angle ranges, wherein each respective tilt angle range from among the plurality of tilt angle ranges is associated with at least one of (i) a respective enlarging factor from among a plurality of enlarging factors, and (ii) a respective shrinking factor from among a plurality of the shrinking factors; correlating the sensed tilting motion to a particular direction of a plurality of directions; identifying, based on the particular direction of the sensed tilting motion, an operation to perform in association with the content, the operation being one of a scrolling operation and a zooming operation, wherein: in response to the determining, performing the identified operation.
