Excerpt
Excerpt "Drag-and-pop is an extension of traditional drag-and-drop. As the user starts dragging an icon towards some target icon, drag-and-pop responds by temporarily moving potential target icons towards the user’s current cursor location, thereby allowing the user to interact with these icons using comparably small hand movements. Drag-and-Pick extends the drag-and-pop interaction style such that it allows activating icons, e.g., to open folders or launch applications." |

Claims
1
A computer-implemented method for manipulating objects in a user interface, comprising:
providing the user interface including a first interface object operable to be selected and moved within the user interface; and
in response to selection and movement of the first interface object in the user interface, presenting at least one additional interface object in the user interface in proximity of the first interface object, each additional interface object representing a drop target with which the first interface object may be associated.
Relevance
The interaction paradigm described in the drag-and-pop report also describes creating additional drop target interface objects within the proximity of the selected object.
