Abstract
Systems and methods for processing a swipe gesture are provided. A method includes receiving an indication of the swipe gesture via a touch screen. The indication of the swipe gesture includes a first event position on the touch screen associated with a first event time and a second event position associated with a second event time. The method also includes calculating a gesture speed for the swipe gesture. The method also includes calculating a reconstructed event position based on the gesture speed and one of the first event position and the second event position. The method also includes, if the reconstructed event position is closer to the edge than the edge threshold, providing an output associated with taking a first action. The method also includes, if the reconstructed event position is further from the edge than the edge threshold, providing an output associated with taking a second action.
