SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ENABLING TRANSITIONS BETWEEN ITEMS OF CONTENT BASED ON SWIPE GESTURES

A computing device for facilitating access to items of content includes is configured to enable communication with a companion device. A companion device includes a user interface including a touch panel. The computing device is configured to determine whether touch event data received from a companion device corresponds to a particular gesture. A computing device causes a transition from the selected item of content to an adjacent item of content within an ordered set of items of content, upon determining that the touch event data corresponds to the initiation of a swipe gesture and determines whether to change the selected item of content to the adjacent item of content based on whether the swipe gesture exceeds a threshold. 种用于促进对内容项目的存取的计算设备被配置来实现与配套设备的通信。配套设备包括具有触摸面板的用户界面。所述计算设备被配置来确定接收自配套设备的触摸事件数据是否对应于特定手势。计算设备在确定所述触摸事件数据对应于所述轻扫手势的发起时，使得从所述选择的内容项目转换到内容项目的有序集合内的相邻的内容项目，并且基于所述轻扫手势是否超过阈值来确定是否将所述选择的内容项目改变为所述相邻的内容项目。
