Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a method for navigating between a plurality of user interface screens displayed on a display unit of a system. The method comprises sensing a touch pattern received from a user on a displayed user interface screen of the plurality of user interface screens of the system. Then, a touch force, duration and location of the touch pattern are determined. The system performs at least one of replacing the displayed user interface screen with a user interface screen from among the plurality of user interface screens stacked subsequent to the displayed user interface screen. The system performs merging one or more elements of the plurality of user interface screens with one or more displayed elements of the displayed user interface screen. The system performs toggling sequentially between each of the plurality of user interface screens. FIGURE 5a
CLIAMS:We claim:
1. A method for navigating between a plurality of user interface screens displayed on a display unit of a system, the method comprising:
sensing, by the system, a touch pattern received from a user on a displayed user interface screen of the plurality of user interface screens of the system;
determining, by the system, a touch force, duration and location of the touch pattern; and
performing, by the system, based on the determination at least one of:
replacing the displayed user interface screen with a user interface screen from among the plurality of user interface screens stacked subsequent to the displayed user interface screen;
merging one or more elements of the plurality of user interface screens with one or more displayed elements of the displayed user interface screen; and
toggling sequentially between each of the plurality of user interface screens.
2. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein each of the plurality of user interface screens is vertically stacked.
3. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein replacing the displayed user interface screen is performed when amount of the touch force applied is greater than a predetermined amount of touch force and the duration of the touch pattern is less than a predetermined time.
4. The method as claimed in claim 3, wherein merging the one or more elements with the one or more displayed elements is performed when the amount of touch force applied is greater than the predetermined amount of touch force, the duration of the touch pattern is less than the predetermined time and the location of the touch pattern is at the one or more displayed elements of the displayed user interface screen.
5. The method as claimed in claim 4 further comprising displaying the merged one or more elements and the one or more displayed elements on the displayed user interface screen.
6. The method as claimed in claim 3, wherein toggling sequentially between each of the plurality of user interface screens is performed when the amount of touch force applied is greater than the predetermined amount of touch force and the duration of the touch pattern is greater than the predetermined time.
7. The method as claimed in claim 6 further comprising terminating toggling sequentially between each of the plurality of user interface screens upon sensing a release of the touch pattern from the displayed user interface screen.
8. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the touch pattern is selected from at least one of swipe, slide, poke, tap, press, and gestures.
9. A system for navigating between a plurality of user interface screens displayed on a display unit, said system comprising:
a processor;
a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, wherein the memory stores processor-executable instructions, which, on execution, cause the processor to:
sense a touch pattern received from a user on a displayed user interface screen of a plurality of user interface screens of the system;
determine a touch force, duration and location of the touch pattern; and
perform based on the determination at least one of:
replace the displayed user interface screen with a user interface screen from among the plurality of user interface screens stacked subsequent to the displayed user interface screen;
merge one or more elements of the plurality of user interface screens with one or more displayed elements of the displayed user interface screen; and
toggle sequentially between each of the plurality of user interface screens.
10. The system as claimed in claim 9 is a touch screen device having at least one of a touch screen panel and a touch pad.
11. The system as claimed in claim 9, wherein each of the plurality of user interface screens are vertically stacked.
12. The system as claimed in claim 9, wherein the processor is configured to replace the displayed user interface screen when amount of the touch force applied is greater than a predetermined amount of touch force and the duration of the touch pattern is less than a predetermined time.
13. The system as claimed in claim 12, wherein the processor is configured to merge the one or more elements with the one or more displayed elements when the amount of touch force applied is greater than the predetermined amount of touch force, the duration of the touch pattern is less than the predetermined time and the location of the touch pattern is at the one or more displayed elements of the displayed user interface screen.
14. The system as claimed in claim 13, wherein the processor is configured to display the merged one or more elements and the one or more displayed elements on the displayed user interface screen.
15. The system as claimed in claim 12, wherein the processor is configured to toggle sequentially between each of the plurality of user interface screens when the amount of touch force applied is greater than the predetermined amount of touch force and the duration of the touch pattern is greater than the predetermined time.
16. The system as claimed in claim 15, wherein the processor is further configured to terminate toggling sequentially between each of the plurality of user interface screens upon sensing a release of the touch pattern from the displayed user interface screen.
17. The electronic device as claimed in claim 9, wherein the touch pattern is selected from at least one of swipe, slide, poke, tap, press, and gestures.
18. A non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions stored thereon that when processed by a processor cause a system to perform acts of:
sensing a touch pattern received from a user on a displayed user interface screen of a plurality of user interface screens of the system;
determining a touch force, duration and location of the touch pattern; and
performing based on the determination at least one of:
replacing the displayed user interface screen with a user interface screen from among the plurality of user interface screens stacked subsequent to the displayed user interface screen;
merging one or more elements of the plurality of user interface screens with one or more displayed elements of the displayed user interface screen; and
toggling sequentially between each of the plurality of user interface screens.
