Systems, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to encouraging exploration within a computing application. In one embodiment, a system includes a processor and a memory storing machine-readable instructions. The instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to identify when a user is stuck in a repetitive pattern within a computing application. When the user is stuck in the repetitive pattern the instructions, the instructions when executed by the processor, cause the processor to encourage the user to further explore the computing application by 1) intervening in user activity within the computing application and 2) presenting attention-capturing content that is targeted to the user and unrelated to a domain of content accessed by the user within the computing application.

Systems and methods for encouraging application exploration

Systems and methods detect simple user gestures to enable selection of portions of segmented content, such as text, displayed on a display. Gestures may include finger (such as thumb) flicks or swipes as well as flicks of the handheld device itself. The used finger does not occlude the selected text, allowing users to easily see what the selection is at any time during the content selection process. In addition, the swipe or flick gestures can be performed by a non-dominant finger such as a thumb, allowing users to hold the device and make the selection using only one hand. After making the initial selection of a target portion of the content, to extend the selection, for example to the right, the user simply swipes or flicks the finger over the touchscreen to the right. The user could also flick the entire device in a move gesture with one hand.
