- Mobile communications devices typically have a small form factor to aide mobility of the mobile communications device. For example, the mobile communications device (e.g., a mobile phone) may be configured with a relatively minimal amount of display area and limited input devices (e.g., a keypad) so that the device may be easily transported. Consequently, traditional techniques used to interact with a conventional computer (e.g., a desktop PC) may be frustrating when used in conjunction with a mobile communications device.
- For instance, selection and sharing of content (e.g., photos, video, and so on) on a mobile communications device may be difficult using traditional techniques due to the limitations of the small form factor described above. Consequently, traditional mobile communications devices were configured to interact with a single item of content at a time.
- A mobile communications device user interface is described. In an implementation, a portion of a user interface is configured as a “bucket” to allow a user to drag-and-drop multiple items of content into it. The portion may be persisted between applications by an operating system such that a user may navigate between applications and store items of content from the applications using the portion. Actions may then be applied to the content that has been accepted in the bucket as a whole, such as to form a communication, a playlist, and so on, further discussion of which may be found in relation to the following sections.
- In the following discussion, a variety of example implementations of a mobile communications device (e.g., a wireless phone) are described. Additionally, a variety of different functionality that may be employed by the mobile communications device is described for each example, which may be implemented in that example as well as in other described examples. Accordingly, example implementations are illustrated of a few of a variety of contemplated implementations. Further, although a mobile communications device having one or more modules that are configured to provide telephonic functionality are described, a variety of other mobile devices are also contemplated, such as personal digital assistants, mobile music players, dedicated messaging devices, portable game devices, netbooks, and so on.

Themobile communications device 102 is operable to assume a plurality of configurations, examples of which include a configuration as illustrated inFIG. 1 in which themobile communications device 102 is “open” and a configuration in which themobile communications device 102 is “closed” as illustrated inFIGS. 2-3 . - The
mobile communications device 102 is further illustrated as including afirst housing 104 and asecond housing 106 that are connected via aslide 108 such that the first andsecond housings - The
first housing 104 includes adisplay device 110 that may be used to output a variety of content, such as a caller identification (ID), contacts, images (e.g., photos) as illustrated, email, multimedia messages, Internet browsing, game play, music, video and so on. In an implementation, thedisplay device 110 is configured to function as an input device by incorporating touchscreen functionality, e.g., through capacitive, surface acoustic wave, resistive, optical, strain gauge, dispersive signals, acoustic pulse, and other touchscreen functionality. The touchscreen functionality (as well as other functionality such as track pads) may be used to detect gestures, further discussion of which may be found in relation toFIGS. 2 and 3 . - The
second housing 106 is illustrated as including akeyboard 112 that may also be used to provide inputs to themobile communications device 102. Although thekeyboard 112 is illustrated as a QWERTY keyboard, a variety of other examples are also contemplated, such as a keyboard that follows a traditional telephone keypad layout (e.g., a twelve key numeric pad found on basic telephones), keyboards configured for other languages (e.g., Cyrillic), and so on. - In the “open” configuration as illustrated in the
example implementation 100 ofFIG. 1 , thefirst housing 104 is moved (e.g., slid) “away” from thesecond housing 106 using theslide 108. Other implementations are also contemplated, such as a “clamshell” configuration, “brick” configuration, and so on. - The form factor employed by the
mobile communications device 102 may be suitable to support a wide variety of features. For example, thekeyboard 112 is illustrated as supporting a QWERTY configuration. This form factor may be particularly convenient to a user to utilize the previously described functionality of themobile communications device 102, such as to compose texts, play games, check email, “surf” the Internet, provide status messages for a social network, and so on. - The
mobile communications device 102 is also illustrated as including a communication module 114. The communication module 114 is representative of functionality of themobile communications device 102 to communicate via anetwork 116. For example, the communication module 114 may include telephone functionality to make and receive telephone calls. The communication module 114 may also include a variety of other functionality, such as to capture content, form short message service (SMS) text messages, multimedia messaging service (MMS) messages, emails, status updates to be communicated to a social network service, and so on. A user, for instance, may input a status update for communication via thenetwork 116 to the social network service. The social network service may then publish the status update to “friends” of the user, e.g., for receipt by the friends via a computer, respective mobile communications devices, and so on. A variety of other examples are also contemplated, such as blogging, instant messaging, and so on. - The
mobile communications device 102 is also illustrated as including a user interface module 118. The user interface module 118 is representative of functionality of themobile communications device 102 to generate, manage, and/or output auser interface 120 for display on thedisplay device 110. A variety of different techniques may be employed to generate the user interface. - For example, the user interface module 118 may configure the
user interface 120 to include aportion 122 to collect a plurality of content, such as theimages 124 in theuser interface 120 ofFIG. 1 . The user interface module 118 may then expose a plurality ofactions 126 that may be performed using each of the content collected in theportion 122. A variety ofdifferent actions 126 may be performed, such as to form acommunication 128, form a playlist 130, form a slideshow 132, and so on. Thus, in this way content may be first collected using the portion 122 (the “bucket”) and then an object (e.g., the communication, playlist, or slideshow) may be formed. This differs from conventional techniques in which the object was first formed (e.g., a playlist, a communication, and so on) and then populated with content. A variety of different techniques may be used to collect content using theportion 122, an example of which is described in relation to the following figure. -
FIG. 2 illustrates asystem 200 in an example implementation in which a gesture that is used to collect content in theportion 122 of theuser interface 120. The illustratedsystem 200 shows a plurality ofsteps portion 122. Themobile communication device 102 is illustrated in thefirst step 202 as outputting theuser interface 120 having a plurality of content, which are images in this example. A user'sfinger 210 selects theimage 212 of the dog by placing thefinger 210 against the surface of thedisplay device 110. - At the
second step 204, touchscreen functionality of themobile communications device 102 is used to detect the selection. In response, athumbnail image 214 of theimage 212 of the dog is created which follows the dragging of the user'sfinger 210 across thedisplay device 210. For example, an animation may be displayed to give the appearance that thethumbnail image 210 “pops off” theimage 212 of the dog. Additionally, the display of theimage 212 may also be changed to indicate the selection, which is illustrated through the use of grayscale in thesecond step 204. - At the
third step 206, thethumbnail image 214 has been dragged proximal to theportion 122 of theuser interface 120 to follow the user'sfinger 210. In response, an animation is displayed that gives an appearance of thethumbnail image 214 being “dropped in the bucket.” For example, the animation may cause thethumbnail image 214 to be rotated and scaled (e.g., shrunk). In this way, the user is informed that the content (e.g., the image 212) is being input. A variety of other examples are also contemplated. - At the
fourth step 208, the display of theimage 212 returns back to the original state, e.g., to match the original state in thefirst step 202. Additionally, a display of theportion 122 is changed to indicate that the portion contains the image. Thus, the user is informed in this instance that theportion 122 “contains” theimage 122. This process may be repeated to include a wide variety of content in theportion 122 from a wide variety of applications. For example, the content included in theportion 122 may be heterogeneous (e.g., “mixed”) to include music, images, movies, contacts, documents, and so on obtained from a variety of different applications. Although a drag-and-drop operation has been described for a single item of content, multiple items may also be selected (e.g., sequentially or at one time) and then dragged together. A variety of different actions may then be performed based on what content is included in theportion 122, further discussion of which may be found in relation to the following figure. -
FIG. 3 illustrates asystem 300 in an example implementation in which content is shown that is accepted into theportion 122. A user'shand 210 is shown as selecting theportion 122, which causes content that has been placed “in” theportion 122 to be displayed in theuser interface 120. - The
user interface 120 may also include options that are selectable to perform represented actions, examples of which are illustrated as upload 302 and send 304. The upload 302 option is selectable to cause content included in theportion 122 to be uploaded to a network site, such as a social network service. For example, the user interface module 118 may determine that a contact (e.g., “Ellie” in the illustrated example) has been included in theportion 122. Accordingly, the user interface module 118 may upload content that is not the contact to a network location specified in the contact “Ellie.” A similar technique may also be employed to form a communication to one or multiple contacts, further discussion of which may be found in relation to the following procedures. - Example Procedures
- The following discussion describes user interface techniques that may be implemented utilizing the previously described systems and devices. Aspects of each of the procedures may be implemented in hardware, firmware, software, or a combination thereof. The procedures are shown as a set of blocks that specify operations performed by one or more devices and are not necessarily limited to the orders shown for performing the operations by the respective blocks. In portions of the following discussion, reference will be made to the
environment 100 and systems 200-300 ofFIGS. 1-3 , respectively. -
FIG. 4 depicts aprocedure 400 in an example implementation in which a portion is output in a user interface that is configured to accept content and then perform an action involving each of the content. A feature is exposed to a plurality of application to output, in a user interface for display on a display device, a portion that is selectable in the user interface to accept content (block 402). For example, functionality of themedia module 108 may be incorporated within an operating system that is executable on a processor of themobile media device 104 and is storable in memory or other computer-readable storage media of themobile communications device 104. The operating system may expose this functionality to applications that are also executed on themobile communications device 104 via an application programming interface (API). Further discussion of an operating system may be found in relation toFIG. 6 . - One or more indications of actions are output that are performable on each of the content accepted in the portion (block 404). Thus, in this example, the content is gathered and then a variety of actions are performable on the content by selecting the action (block 406). For example, a playlist may be created in response to selection of a corresponding action (block 408) “create playlist” when the portion includes content configured as media, e.g., songs, videos, and so on. In another example, the content may be uploaded to a social network site in response to selection of a corresponding action (block 410) “upload.” For instance, the
media module 108 may automatically (or in conjunction with manual interaction of a user) provide credentials to a social network website via thenetwork 106 to upload content to a user's account upon selection of an “upload” action. In a further example, a communication is formed in response to selection of a corresponding action (block 412), such as an email, text message, and so on. Further discussion of communication formation may be found in relation to the following figure. -
FIG. 5 depicts aprocedure 500 in an example implementation in which a user interface is output having a portion that is configured to accept content and usable to automatically form a communication without further user interaction. A user interface is output that has a portion that is configured to accept content (block 502). For example, theportion 122 may accept content such as images, music, and contacts. - When an option is selected in relation to the portion to initiate a communication and the content includes one or more contacts, the communication is formed to include the content and is automatically addressed to the one or more contacts (block 504). For example, the
media module 108 may identify which of the content accepted via theportion 122 includes relevant contact information, e.g., a telephone number, email address, and so on. Therefore, when an option is selected (e.g., a representation of an action “email”) the communication is formed and populated with the relevant contact information of each of the contacts accepted by theportion 122 automatically and without further user interaction. A variety of other examples are also contemplated, such as formation of a SMS, MMS, and so on. - Example Device
