1. A method of inputting on a device comprisingaccepting a wake up input on an input pad;
- tracking user movement on the input pad wherein the input pad is actuated by applying a touch to the input pad;
if the user makes an input, comparing the input to stored inputs wherein the stored inputs are user definable;
if the input is related to one of the stored inputs, executing an action related to the stored input; and
if the input is not related to one of the stored inputs, repeating the steps of the method.

Abstract
An input device may detect an input on an input device. The input may be compared to stored inputs to determine if the input is related to one of the stored inputs where the stored inputs can be user defined. If the input is related to one of the stored inputs, an action may be executed related to the stored input. If the input is not related to one of the stored inputs or is not recognized, the steps of the method may be repeated. The actions associated with different gestures may be defined by the user.
