1. A computing device having a processor coupled to a memory and coupled to a gesture-based input/output (I/O) device, the memory storing instructions, which when executed by the processor, configure the computing device to:

  • display via the gesture-based I/O device a graphical user interface having;

    an amount region configured to define an allocation amount;

    a plurality of source regions each configured to define an allocation source; and

    a plurality of destination regions each configured to define an allocation destination; and

    receive as input via the gesture-based I/O device a swipe gesture consisting of a single continuous swipe having at least two directions, the single continuous swipe continuously engaging the gesture-based I/O device throughout the swipe gesture, the swipe gesture interacting with the amount region to define the allocation amount and interacting with at least one of;

    (i) a source region of the plurality of source regions and (ii) a destination region of the plurality of destination regions to define an allocation source and an allocation destination for the allocation amount; and

    ,wherein;

    the amount region displays a selectable linear slider control comprising a slider device for movement along a line to variably define the allocation amount;

    the swipe gesture comprises a plurality of connected consecutive swipe components including at least two movement components;

    a first movement component of the plurality of consecutive connected swipe components defines the allocation amount, the first movement component moving in a first direction of the at least two directions to interact with the selectable linear slider control to move the slider device along the line in the first direction; and

    a second movement component, after the first movement component, defines the allocation source or the allocation destination, the second movement component moving in a second direction of the at least two directions away from the line to move the slider device from the line to the source region or the destination region.
