Committing data in electronic devices using swiping gestures

Abstract:

The disclosed embodiments provide a system that facilitates use of an electronic device. During operation, the system displays, by an application on the electronic device, a user interface comprising a first set of user-interface elements for obtaining data from a user. Upon detecting a first swiping gesture through the user interface, the system submits the data for processing by the application. The system then updates the user interface with a second set of user-interface elements based on the submitted data.
