Patent ID: 8745525

Claim:
A method comprising: receiving, by a mobile computing device and based on a user gesture received at a touch or proximity-sensitive user interface of the mobile computing device, input to modify a size of a first graphical window currently being displayed at the touch or proximity-sensitive user interface; determining, by the mobile computing device, one or more attributes of the user gesture to modify the size of the first graphical window, wherein the one or more attributes comprise at least one of a direction and a distance traversed by the user gesture at the touch or proximity-sensitive user interface; modifying, by the mobile computing device, the size of the first graphical window based on the determined one or more attributes, wherein the modified size of the first graphical window is less than a size of the touch or proximity-sensitive user interface; and in response to modifying the size of the first graphical window, automatically modifying, by the mobile computing device, a size of a second graphical window to be substantially similar to the modified size of the first graphical window, the second graphical window having been previously occluded or displaced off-screen by the first graphical window before the first graphical window was modified.
