Abstract
Methods of detection of swipe gestures and filtering and locating desired information in a multi-attributed search space in response to detection of swipe gestures and devices for performing the same are provided. The method includes activating an attribute associated with at least one element of a list of elements having a visible list portion rendered on the viewing area, in response to receiving an activation input for the attribute and displaying a plurality of attribute field controls associated with the attribute, in response to its activation. The method further includes receiving a manipulation action of at least one attribute field control, updating an attribute value in response to the manipulation action, and updating the visible list portion based on the attribute value. The method may be used with touchscreen displays, and with virtual or augmented reality displays.
