DEVICE AND METHOD FOR GESTURAL OPERATION OF CONTEXT MENUS ON A TOUCH-SENSITIVE DISPLAY
First Claim
1. A portable electronic device for gestural operation of context menus comprising:
- a touch-sensitive sensor;
a display having the touch-sensitive sensor corresponding to at least a portion of the display, the display providing an activation image and a plurality of transient menu options arranged radially from the activation image in response to detecting a first activation at the touch-sensitive sensor, each transient menu option corresponding to a distinct device action; and
a processor coupled to the touch-sensitive sensor, the processor activating a device action corresponding to a particular transient menu option of the plurality of transient menu options in response to detecting a second activation at the touch-sensitive sensor that corresponds to the particular transient menu option.

Abstract
There is described a portable electronic device and method for gestural operation of context menus. The portable electronic device comprises a touch-sensitive sensor, a display having the touch-sensitive sensor corresponding to at least a portion of the display, and a processor coupled to the touch-sensitive sensor. The display provides an activation image and a plurality of transient menu options arranged radially from the activation image in response to detecting a first activation at the touch-sensitive sensor. Each transient menu option corresponds to a distinct device action. The processor activates a device action corresponding to a particular transient menu option in response to detecting a second activation at the touch-sensitive sensor that corresponds to the particular transient menu option.
