The disclosed embodiments relate generally to portable electronic devices, and more particularly, to portable electronic devices that perform similar operations in response to different finger gestures.
As portable electronic devices become more compact, and the number of functions performed by a given device increases, it has become a significant challenge to design a user interface that allows users to easily interact with a multifunction device. This challenge is particular significant for handheld portable electronic devices, which have much smaller screens than desktop or laptop computers.
One important aspect of measuring a user interface's user-friendliness is whether the user interface accepts different types of user actions that correspond to the same function. Different users can choose different user actions based on their own preferences or habits. One user can choose different user actions at different times depending on which user action is more convenient than others at a specific moment.
But many conventional user interfaces, such as those that include physical pushbuttons, often have no such inflexibility. All users have to interact with the user interfaces in a specific manner to get desired results whether or not the manner is contrary to most users' preferences or habits. When coupled with the time consuming requirement to memorize these specific manners and the difficulty in activating a desired pushbutton, such inflexibility is becoming increasingly frustrating to most users.
Accordingly, there is a need for portable electronic devices with more flexible and intuitive user interfaces that perform similar operations in response to different finger gestures.
The above deficiencies and other problems associated with known portable devices are reduced or eliminated by the disclosed portable multifunction device. In some embodiments, the portable electronic device has a touch-sensitive display (also known as a “touch screen” or “touch screen display”) with a graphical user interface (GUI), one or more processors, memory and one or more modules, programs or sets of instructions stored in the memory for performing multiple functions. In some embodiments, the user interacts with the GUI primarily through finger contacts and gestures on the touch-sensitive display. Instructions for performing operations may be included in a computer readable storage medium or other computer program product configured for execution by one or more processors.
One aspect of the invention involves a computer-implemented method in which a portable electronic device with a touch screen: displays an application on the touch screen; and when the application is in a predefined mode, performs a predefined operation in response to each gesture of a set of multiple distinct gestures on the touch screen.
Another aspect of the invention involves a computer-implemented method in which a portable electronic device with a touch screen: displays a first application; when the first application is in a first mode, performs a first operation upon detecting a first gesture on the touch screen display; and performs the first operation upon detecting a second gesture on the touch screen display, wherein the second gesture is different from the first gesture.
Another aspect of the invention involves a portable electronic device. The device includes a touch screen display, one or more processors, memory, and one or more programs. The one or more program are stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors. The one or more programs include: instructions for displaying an application; and instructions for performing a predefined operation in response to each gesture of a set of multiple distinct gestures on the touch screen display when the application is in a predefined mode.
Another aspect of the invention involves a computer-program product that includes a computer readable storage medium and a computer program mechanism (e.g., one or more computer programs) embedded therein. The computer program mechanism includes instructions, which when executed by a portable electronic device with a touch screen display, cause the device to: display an application; and when the application is in a predefined mode, perform a predefined operation in response to each gesture of a set of multiple distinct gestures on the touch screen display.
Another aspect of the invention involves a graphical user interface (GUI) on a portable electronic device with a touch screen display. The GUI has an application displayed in a predefined mode and the application performs a predefined operation in response to each gesture of a set of multiple distinct gestures on the touch screen display.
Another aspect of the invention involves a portable electronic device with a touch screen display, comprising: means for displaying an application; and means for performing a predefined operation in response to each gesture of a set of multiple distinct gestures on the touch screen display when the application is in a predefined mode.
Thus, the invention provides a transparent and intuitive user interface that performs similar operations in response to different finger gestures on a portable electronic device with a touch screen display.

Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In the following detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the invention. However, it will be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art that the invention may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known methods, procedures, components, circuits, and networks have not been described in detail so as not to unnecessarily obscure aspects of the embodiments.
Embodiments of a portable electronic device, user interfaces for such devices, and associated processes for using such devices are described. In some embodiments, the device is a portable communications device such as a mobile telephone that also contains other functions, such as PDA and/or music player functions.
The device supports a variety of applications, such as one or more of the following: a telephone application, a video conferencing application, an email application, an instant messaging application, a blogging application, a photo management application, a digital camera application, a digital video camera application, a web browsing application, a digital music player application, and/or a digital video player application.
The user interfaces may include one or more soft keyboard embodiments. The soft keyboard embodiments may include standard (QWERTY) and/or non-standard configurations of symbols on the displayed icons of the keyboard, such as those described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/459,606, “Keyboards for Portable Electronic Devices,” filed Jul. 24, 2006, and Ser. No. 11/459,615 “Touch Screen Keyboards for Portable Electronic Devices,” filed Jul. 24, 2006, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. The keyboard embodiments may include a reduced number of icons (or soft keys) relative to the number of keys in existing physical keyboards, such as that for a typewriter. This may make it easier for users to select one or more icons in the keyboard, and thus, one or more corresponding symbols. The keyboard embodiments may be adaptive. For example, displayed icons may be modified in accordance with user actions, such as selecting one or more icons and/or one or more corresponding symbols. One or more applications on the portable electronic device may utilize common and/or different keyboard embodiments. Thus, the keyboard embodiment used may be tailored to at least some of the applications. In some embodiments, one or more keyboard embodiments may be tailored to a respective user. For example, based on a word usage history (lexicography, slang, individual usage) of the respective user. Some of the keyboard embodiments may be adjusted to reduce a probability of a user error when selecting one or more icons, and thus one or more symbols, when using the soft keyboard embodiments.
Attention is now directed towards embodiments of the device. FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a portable electronic device 100 with a touch-sensitive display 112 in accordance with some embodiments. The touch-sensitive display 112 is sometimes called a “touch screen” for convenience. The device 100 may include a memory 102 (which may include one or more computer readable storage mediums), a memory controller 122, one or more processing units (CPU's) 120, a peripherals interface 118, RF circuitry 108, audio circuitry 110, a speaker 111, a microphone 113, an input/output (I/O) subsystem 106, other input or control devices 116, and an external port 124. The device 100 may include one or more optical sensors 164. These components may communicate over one or more communication buses or signal lines 103.
It should be appreciated that the device 100 is only one example of a portable electronic device 100, and that the device 100 may have more or fewer components than shown, may combine two or more components, or a may have a different configuration or arrangement of the components. The various components shown in FIG. 1 may be implemented in hardware, software or a combination of hardware and software, including one or more signal processing and/or application specific integrated circuits.
The I/O subsystem 106 couples input/output peripherals on the device 100, such as the touch screen 112 and other input/control devices 116, to the peripherals interface 118. The I/O subsystem 106 may include a display controller 156 and one or more input controllers 160 for other input or control devices. The one or more input controllers 160 receive/send electrical signals from/to other input or control devices 116. The other input/control devices 116 may include physical buttons (e.g., push buttons, rocker buttons, etc.), dials, slider switches, joysticks, click wheels, and so forth. In some alternate embodiments, input controller(s) 160 may be coupled to any (or none) of the following: a keyboard, infrared port, USB port, and a pointer device such as a mouse. The one or more buttons (e.g., 208, FIG. 2) may include an up/down button for volume control of the speaker 111 and/or the microphone 113. The one or more buttons may include a push button (e.g., 206, FIG. 2). A quick press of the push button may disengage a lock of the touch screen 112 or begin a process that uses gestures on the touch screen to unlock the device, as described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/322,549, “Unlocking a Device by Performing Gestures on an Unlock Image,” filed Dec. 23, 2005, which is hereby incorporated by reference. A longer press of the push button (e.g., 206) may turn power to the device 100 on or off. The user may be able to customize a functionality of one or more of the buttons. The touch screen 112 is used to implement virtual or soft buttons and one or more soft keyboards.
The touch screen 112 may use LCD (liquid crystal display) technology, or LPD (light emitting polymer display) technology, although other display technologies may be used in other embodiments. The touch screen 112 and the display controller 156 may detect contact and any movement or breaking thereof using any of a plurality of touch sensing technologies now known or later developed, including but not limited to capacitive, resistive, infrared, and surface acoustic wave technologies, as well as other proximity sensor arrays or other elements for determining one or more points of contact with a touch screen 112. A touch-sensitive display in some embodiments of the touch screen 112 may be analogous to the multi-touch sensitive tablets described in the following U.S. Pat. No. 6,323,846 (Westerman et al.), U.S. Pat. No. 6,570,557 (Westerman et al.), and/or U.S. Pat. No. 6,677,932 (Westerman), and/or U.S. Patent Publication 2002/0015024A1, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference. However, a touch screen 112 displays visual output from the portable electronic device 100, whereas touch sensitive tablets do not provide visual output. The touch screen 112 may have a resolution in excess of 100 dpi. In an exemplary embodiment, the touch screen in the display system has a resolution of approximately 168 dpi. The user may make contact with the touch screen 112 using any suitable object or appendage, such as a stylus, a finger, and so forth. In some embodiments, the user interface is designed to work primarily with finger-based contacts and gestures, which are much less precise than stylus-based input due to the larger area of contact of a finger on the touch screen. In some embodiments, the device translates the rough finger-based input into a precise pointer/cursor position or command for performing the actions desired by the user.
A touch-sensitive display in some embodiments of the touch screen 112 may be as described in the following applications: (1) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/381,313, “Multipoint Touch Surface Controller,” filed on May 2, 2006; (2) U.S. patent application Ser.

No. 11/228,758, “Virtual Input Device Placement On A Touch Screen User Interface,” filed on Sep. 16, 2005; (7) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/228,700, “Operation Of A Computer With A Touch Screen Interface,” filed on Sep. 16, 2005; (8) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/228,737, “Activating Virtual Keys Of A Touch-Screen Virtual Keyboard,” filed on Sep. 16, 2005; and (9) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/367,749, “Multi-Functional Hand-Held Device,” filed on Mar. 3, 2006. All of these applications are incorporated by reference herein.
The device 100 may also include one or more optical sensors 164. FIG. 1 shows an optical sensor coupled to an optical sensor controller 158 in I/O subsystem 106. The optical sensor 164 may include charge-coupled device (CCD) or complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) phototransistors. The optical sensor 164 receives light from the environment, projected through one or more lens, and converts the light to data representing an image. In conjunction with an imaging module 143 (sometimes called a camera module), the optical sensor 164 may capture still images or video. In some embodiments, an optical sensor is located on the back of the device 100, opposite the touch screen display 112 on the front of the device, so that the touch screen display may be used as a viewfinder for either still and/or video image acquisition. In some embodiments, an optical sensor is located on the front of the device so that the user's image may be obtained for videoconferencing while the user views the other video conference participants on the touch screen display. In some embodiments, the position of the optical sensor 164 can be changed by the user (e.g., by rotating the lens and the sensor in the device housing) so that a single optical sensor 164 may be used along with the touch screen display for both video conferencing and still and/or video image acquisition.
The device 100 may also include one or more proximity sensors 166. FIG. 1 shows a proximity sensor 166 coupled to the peripherals interface 118. Alternately, the proximity sensor 166 may be coupled to an input controller 160 in the I/O subsystem 106. The proximity sensor 166 may perform as described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/241,839, “Proximity Detector in Handheld Device,” filed Sep. 30, 2005, and Ser. No. 11/240,788, “Proximity Detector in Handheld Device,” filed Sep. 30, 2005, which are hereby incorporated by reference. In some embodiments, the proximity sensor turns off and disables the touch screen 112 when the multifunction device is placed near the user's ear (e.g., when the user is making a phone call). In some embodiments, the proximity sensor keeps the screen off when the device is in the user's pocket, purse, or other dark area to prevent unnecessary battery drainage when the device is a locked state.
The contact/motion module 130 may detect contact with the touch screen 112 (in conjunction with the display controller 156) and other touch sensitive devices (e.g., a touchpad or physical click wheel). The contact/motion module 130 includes various software components for performing various operations related to detection of contact, such as determining if contact has occurred, determining if there is movement of the contact and tracking the movement across the touch screen 112, and determining if the contact has been broken (i.e., if the contact has ceased). Determining movement of the point of contact may include determining speed (magnitude), velocity (magnitude and direction), and/or an acceleration (a change in magnitude and/or direction) of the point of contact. These operations may be applied to single contacts (e.g., one finger contacts) or to multiple simultaneous contacts (e.g., “multitouch”/multiple finger contacts). In some embodiments, the contact/motion module 130 and the display controller 156 also detects contact on a touchpad. In some embodiments, the contact/motion module 130 and the controller 160 detects contact on a click wheel 116.
The text input module 134, which may be a component of graphics module 132, provides soft keyboards for entering text in various applications (e.g., contacts 137, email client 140, IM 141, blogging 142, browser 147, and any other application that needs text input).
Note that the above identified modules and applications (including the image management module 144 and the browser module 147) correspond to a set of instructions for performing one or more functions described above. These modules (i.e., sets of instructions) need not be implemented as separate software programs, procedures or modules, and thus various subsets of these modules may be combined or otherwise re-arranged in various embodiments. In some embodiments, memory 102 may store a subset of the modules and data structures identified above. Furthermore, memory 102 may store additional modules and data structures not described above.
In some embodiments, the device 100 is a device where operation of a predefined set of functions on the device is performed exclusively through a touch screen 112 and/or a touchpad. By using a touch screen and/or a touchpad as the primary input/control device for operation of the device 100, the number of physical input/control devices (such as pushbuttons, dials, and the like) on the device 100 may be reduced.
FIG. 2 illustrates a portable electronic device 100 having a touch screen 112 in accordance with some embodiments. The touch screen may display one or more graphics. In this embodiment, as well as others described below, a user may select one or more of the graphics by making contact or touching the graphics, for example, with one or more fingers 202 (not drawn to scale in the figure) or a stylus (not shown in the figure). In some embodiments, selection of one or more graphics occurs when the user breaks contact with the one or more graphics. In some embodiments, the contact may include a gesture, such as one or more taps, one or more swipes (e.g., from left to right, or right to left, or back-and-forth in both directions; upward, or downward, or upward and downward) and/or a rolling of a finger (from right to left, left to right, upward and/or downward) that has made contact with the device 100. In some embodiments, inadvertent contact with a graphic may not select the graphic. For example, a swipe gesture with that sweeps over an application icon may not select the corresponding application when the gesture corresponding to selection is a tap. In other words, the portable electronic device 100 interprets the meaning of a gesture and acts accordingly after considering which application or module is in use at the moment.
In some embodiments, the device detects contact with the touch-sensitive display (e.g., a user's finger making contact on or near the unlock image 302) while the device is in a user-interface lock state. The device moves the unlock image 302 in accordance with the contact. The device transitions to a user-interface unlock state if the detected contact corresponds to a predefined gesture, such as moving the unlock image across channel 306. Conversely, the device maintains the user-interface lock state if the detected contact does not correspond to the predefined gesture. As noted above, processes that use gestures on the touch screen to unlock the device are described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/322,549, “Unlocking a Device by Performing Gestures on an Unlock Image,” filed Dec. 23, 2005, which is hereby incorporated by reference.
In some embodiments, UI 400 displays all of the available applications 136 on one screen so that there is no need to scroll through a list of applications (e.g., via a scroll bar). In some embodiments, as the number of applications increase, the icons corresponding to the applications may decrease in size so that all applications may be displayed on a single screen without scrolling. In some embodiments, having all applications on one screen and a menu button enables a user to access any desired application with at most two inputs, such as activating the menu button 204 and then activating a desired application (e.g., activating the image management module 144 by a finger tap 412 or other finger gesture on the icon corresponding to the application). Activating the desired application leads to another user interface corresponding to the user-selected application.
Settings icon 510, that brings up a settings menu when activated by a user gesture (e.g., a tap gesture).
In some embodiments, the user may scroll through the thumbnails 606 using vertically upward/downward gestures 610 on the touch screen. A stationary gesture on a particular thumbnail (e.g., a finger tap 612 on thumbnail 606-11) initiates transfer of the application to a different mode, i.e., an enlarged display of the corresponding image (e.g., UI 700, FIG. 7).
Next image icon 714 that when activated (e.g., by a finger gesture 724 on the icon) initiates display of the next image in the album (e.g., 606-12).
In some embodiments, selecting the previous or next image icon is not the only way of displaying the previous or next image in the album. For example, the user can initiate viewing of the previous image by making a tap gesture 718 on the left side of the image or making a swipe gesture 716 from left to right on the image. The image 706 moves off screen to the right as the previous image moves on screen from the left. Similarly, the user can initiate viewing of the next image by making a tap gesture 720 on the right side of the image or making a swipe gesture 716 from right to left on the image. The image 706 moves off screen to the left as the next image moves on screen from the right.
With multiple ways to perform the same task, the portable electronic device enables a user to choose whichever the user prefers, thereby making the photo management simpler and more intuitive.
New window icon 822 that when activated (e.g., by a finger tap on the icon) initiates display of a UI for adding new windows to the browser (e.g., UI 800D, FIG. 8D).
In some embodiments, in response to a predefined gesture by the user on a block 814 (e.g., a single tap gesture or a double tap gesture), the portable device initiates a predefined mode of the browser application that, e.g., causes the block to be enlarged and centered (or substantially centered) in the web page display. For example, in response to a single tap gesture 823 on block 814-5, block 814-5 may be enlarged and centered in the display, as shown in UI 800B, FIG. 8B.
In some embodiments, the width of the user-selected block is scaled to fill the touch screen display. In some embodiments, the width of the block is scaled to fill the touch screen display with a predefined amount of padding along the sides of the display. In some embodiments, a zooming animation of the block is displayed during enlargement of the block. Similarly, in response to a single tap gesture 825 on block 814-2, block 814-2 may be enlarged with a zooming animation and two-dimensionally scrolled to the center of the display (not shown).
In some embodiments, the device analyzes the render tree of the web page 812 to determine the blocks 814 in the web page. In some embodiments, a block 814 corresponds to a render node that is: a replaced inline, a block, an inline block, or an inline table.
In some embodiments, in response to the same predefined gesture by the user on a block 814 (e.g., a single tap gesture or a double tap gesture) that is already enlarged and centered, the enlargement and/or centering is substantially or completely reversed. As shown in the UI 800B (FIG. 8B), in response to a single tap gesture 829 on block 814-5, the web page image may zoom out and return to UI 800A, FIG. 8A.
In some embodiments, in response to a predefined gesture (e.g., a single tap gesture or a double tap gesture) by the user on a block 814 that is already enlarged but not centered, the block is centered (or substantially centered) in the web page display. For example, in response to a single tap gesture 827 on block 814-4, block 814-4 may be centered (or substantially centered) in the web page display. Similarly, in response to a single tap gesture 835 on block 814-6, block 814-6 may be centered (or substantially centered) in the web page display. Thus, for a web page display that is already enlarged, in response to a predefined gesture, the device may display in an intuitive manner a series of blocks that the user wants to view. This same gesture may initiate different actions in different contexts (e.g., (1) zooming and/or enlarging a block in combination with scrolling when the block is displayed in reduced size, and (2) reversing the enlargement and/or centering if the block is already centered and enlarged).
In some embodiments, in response to a substantially vertical upward (or downward) swipe gesture 828 by the user, the web page (or, more generally, an electronic document) may scroll one-dimensionally upward (or downward) in the vertical direction.
In some embodiments, in response to a multi-touch 841 and 843 rotation gesture by the user, the web page may be rotated from portrait viewing (UI 800B, FIG. 8B) to landscape viewing (UI 800C, FIG. 8C), even if the amount of rotation in the multi-touch 841 and 843 rotation gesture is substantially different from 90°. Similarly, in response to a multi-touch 845 and 847 rotation gesture by the user, the web page may be rotated back from landscape viewing to portrait viewing, even if the amount of rotation in the multi-touch 845 and 847 rotation gesture is substantially different from 90°.
In some embodiments, multi-touch 841 and 843 rotation is performed by a user performing two substantially simultaneous finger contact rotations on or near the touch screen 112 within the display area occupied by the web page (e.g., on block 814-5).
Thus, in response to imprecise gestures by the user, precise movements of graphics occur. The device behaves in the manner desired by the user despite inaccurate input by the user. Note that the gestures described above for UI 800B, which has a portrait view, are also applicable to UIs with a landscape view (e.g., UI 800C) so that the user can choose whichever view the user prefers for web browsing.
FIG. 8D depicts a UI 800D for adding new windows to an application, such as the browser 147. For example, in response to a user finger tap 848 on the New Window icon 822, UI 800D displays an application (e.g., the browser 147) in a predefined mode, which includes a displayed window (e.g., web page 812-2) and at least one partially hidden window (e.g., web pages 812-1 and 812-3 and possibly other web pages that are completely hidden off-screen). UI 800D also displays an icon for adding windows to the application (e.g., new window or new page icon 836). Upon detecting activation of the icon 836 for adding windows, the browser adds a window to the application (e.g., a new window for a new web page 812).
Upon detecting a gesture on the touch screen display, a displayed window in the application is moved off the display and a hidden window is moved onto the display. For example, in response to detecting a tap gesture 849 on the left side of the screen, the window with web page 812-2 moves partially off-screen to the right to occupy the position left by the window with web page 812-3, which may move completely off-screen. Meanwhile, the partially hidden window with web page 812-1 moves to the center of the display, and another completely hidden window with a web page (not shown) may move partially onto the display. Alternatively, a left-to-right swipe gesture 851 on the touch screen may achieve the same effect.
Conversely, in response to detecting a tap gesture 853 on the right side of the screen, the window with web page 812-2 moves partially to the left and pushes the window with web page 812-1 off the display. Meanwhile, the partially hidden window with web page 812-3 moves to the center of the display, and another completely hidden window with a web page (not shown) may move partially onto the display. Alternatively, a right-to-left swipe gesture 851 may achieve the same effect.
In some embodiments, the tap gestures 849 or 853 may or may not be performed on (or within) the corresponding windows 812-1 or 812-3. The portable device operates in the same manner mentioned above as long as the tap gestures are within a predefined range from the corresponding windows.
In some embodiments, in response to a tap or other predefined gesture on a delete icon 834, the corresponding window 812 is deleted. In some embodiments, after the user-selected window is deleted from the display, a neighboring window moves in from the left or right to occupy the spot used to be occupied by the deleted window. In some embodiments, in response to a tap or other predefined gesture on Done icon 838, the window in the center of the display (e.g., 812-2) is enlarged to fill the screen. The operations described above in connection with UI 800D, which has a landscape view, are also applicable to UIs with a landscape view (e.g., UI 800A) so that the user can choose whichever view the user prefers for web browsing.
A comparison between the image management application (e.g., UI 700, FIG. 7) and the browser application (e.g., UI 800D, FIG. 8D) indicates that both applications have the feature of performing the same set of operations in response to different types of user gestures. FIG. 9 is a generalized flowchart illustrating a process for performing a predefined operation upon detecting multiple types of user gestures on the portable electronic device's touch screen in accordance with some embodiments.
Upon a user selection of an icon in an application UI, the device displays a set of objects associated with the application on its touch screen (902). Depending on the application, the set of objects may be a set of thumbnail images (UI 600, FIG. 6), browsing windows, web page blocks, or the like.
Upon detecting a user selection of one of the objects (904), the device displays a specific, user-selected object (e.g., an enlarged image) on the touch screen (906) and then starts monitoring user gestures on the touch screen (908).
If the user gesture is a horizontal/vertical finger swipe on the touch screen (910), a finger tap on an edge of the touch screen (912), or a finger tap on the previous/next object icon (914), the device identifies in the set the previous or next object that is chosen by the user (916) and displays the previous or next object on the touch screen in replacement of the current object on the display (918, 920).
upon detecting a substantially left-to-right swipe gesture on the touch screen display, replacing display of the first web page with display of a third web page in the set of web pages and moving the first web page to a predefined location partially off-screen.
replacing display of the first digital photo with display of the third digital photo in the set of digital photos upon detecting the substantially left-to-right swipe gesture on the touch screen display.
replacing display of the first digital photo with display of the third digital photo in the set of digital photos upon detecting a second other gesture on the touch screen display that is distinct from the tap gesture on the left side of the touch screen display, the substantially left-to-right swipe gesture on the touch screen display and the first other gesture.
4. The method of claim 3, wherein the first other gesture is a tap gesture on a next icon.
5. The method of claim 3, wherein the second other gesture is a tap gesture on a previous icon.
replacing display of the first web page with display of the third web page in the set of web pages upon detecting a substantially left-to-right swipe gesture on the touch screen display includes moving the first web page and the third web page left-to-right on the touch screen display.
7. The method of claim 1, wherein when the browser application is displaying the first web page in the set of web pages, the browser application is concurrently displaying at least one of the second web page and the third web page partially off-screen.
8. The method of claim 1, wherein when the browser application is displaying the first web page in the set of web pages, the browser application is concurrently displaying the second web page adjacent to the first web page and the third web page adjacent to the first web page.
12. The portable electronic device of claim 11, wherein the first other gesture is a tap gesture on a next icon.
13. The portable electronic device of claim 11, wherein the second other gesture is a tap gesture on a previous icon.
15. The portable electronic device of claim 9, wherein when the browser application is displaying the first web page in the set of web pages, the browser application is concurrently displaying at least one of the second web page and the third web page partially off-screen.
16. The portable electronic device of claim 9, wherein when the browser application is displaying the first web page in the set of web pages, the browser application is concurrently displaying the second web page adjacent to the first web page and the third web page adjacent to the first web page.
upon detecting a substantially left-to-right swipe gesture on the touch screen display, replace display of the first web page with display of the third web page in the set of web pages and move the first web page to a predefined location partially off-screen.
replace display of the first digital photo with display of the third digital photo in the set of digital photos upon detecting the substantially left-to-right swipe gesture on the touch screen display.
replace display of the first digital photo with display of the third digital photo in the set of digital photos upon detecting a second other gesture on the touch screen display that is distinct from the tap gesture on the left side of the touch screen display, the substantially left-to-right swipe gesture on the touch screen display and the first other gesture.
20. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 19, wherein the first other gesture is a tap gesture on a next icon.
21. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 19, wherein the second other gesture is a tap gesture on a previous icon.
23. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 17, wherein when the browser application is displaying the first web page in the set of web pages, the browser application is concurrently displaying at least one of the second web page and the third web page partially off-screen.
24. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 17, wherein when the browser application is displaying the first web page in the set of web pages, the browser application is concurrently displaying the second web page adjacent to the first web page and the third web page adjacent to the first web page.
