Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided for recognizing multi-touch gestures on a touch sensitive display. A plurality of graphical objects is displayed within a user interface (UI) of a display screen operable to receive touch input. A first touch input exceeding a first time duration is detected over a first graphical object. A touch-and-hold gesture action is generated, which is then applied to the first graphical object. A second touch input is then detected over a second graphical object and a touch-select gesture action is generated, which is then applied to the second graphical object. The first and second gestures are processed to determine an associated operation, which is then performed on the second graphical object.
