Pull-lock interface invention

Abstract:

User interface controls are provided for transferring an asset in an intuitive and unambiguous manner. According to one embodiment, the user interface has a "source indicator" that represents the source of asset transfer, and a "target indicator" that represents a potential recipient of an asset transfer. While the source and target indicators are visibly displayed on the display of a computing device, a user transfers the asset from the source represented by the source indicator to the target indicated by the target indicator by performing a dragging operation that drags the source indicator in the direction of the target indicator. The edge of the source indicator that faces the target indicator, and the edge of the target indicator that faces the source indicator, are interlocking. That is, rather than have linear edges, the respective facing edges have non-linear shapes so that, when dragged together, the shapes interlock.
