Techniques for selecting list items using a swiping gesture

Abstract:

A method performed by a computing device of selecting one or more items from a list displayed on a touch screen of the computing device. The method includes receiving touch commands indicating swiping motions performed by a user on the touch screen. These touch commands result in tentative selection of a list entry, followed by selection of the list entry and possibly tentative selection of adjacent list entries. These may be followed by further touch commands indicating continuing swiping motion to further tentatively or non-tentatively select proximate items.
