1. A computing device-implemented method, comprising:
- detecting, by a processor of the computing device, that a circular motion is being made on or near a surface of the touch screen;
identifying, by the processor, an application with which an item, being displayed by the touch screen, is associated; and
zooming in or zooming out, by the processor, on the item displayed on the touch screen based on the identified application and in response to the processor detecting that the circular motion is being made on or near the surface of the touch screen.

Abstract
A device may include a touch-sensitive display, a memory to store a group of instructions, and a processor. The processor may execute the instructions in the memory to detect that a circular motion is being made on or near a surface of the touch-sensitive screen, detect a location on the touch-sensitive screen at which the circular motion is being made, and zoom in or zoom out on an item, being displayed on the touch-sensitive screen at the detected location, based on detecting that the circular motion is being made on or near the surface of the touch-sensitive screen.

1. A computing device-implemented method, comprising:
-
detecting, by a processor of the computing device, that a circular motion is being made on or near a surface of the touch screen; identifying, by the processor, an application with which an item, being displayed by the touch screen, is associated; and zooming in or zooming out, by the processor, on the item displayed on the touch screen based on the identified application and in response to the processor detecting that the circular motion is being made on or near the surface of the touch screen. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A device comprising:
-
a touch-sensitive screen; a memory to store a plurality of instructions; and a processor to execute instructions in the memory to; detect that a circular motion is being made on or near a surface of the touch-sensitive screen, detect a location on the touch-sensitive screen at which the circular motion is being made, and zoom in or zoom out on an item, being displayed on the touch-sensitive screen at the detected location, in response to detecting that the circular motion is being made on or near the surface of the touch-sensitive screen. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A device comprising:
-
means for detecting a circular motion on or near a surface of a touch-sensitive display; means for identifying an application executing on the device in response to detecting the circular motion; means for identifying a set of parameters associated with the application, the set of parameters relating to a zoom operation; and means for zooming in or zooming out on an item displayed on the touch-sensitive display based on the detected circular motion and the identified set of parameters. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24)
