1. A method for controlling a handheld computing device, comprising:
- logically associating one or more applications with a first display of the handheld computing device;
establishing a first application stack corresponding to the one or more applications logically associated with the first display;
receiving a gesture input at a gesture sensor of the handheld computing device; and
moving a first application belonging to the first application stack to a second application stack associated with a second display in response to the receiving step such that the first application is logically associated with the second display.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus for controlling a computing device using gesture inputs. The gesture inputs may be operative to move screens corresponding to applications executing on the handheld computing device from one display to another. Additionally, a multi portion gesture may be used to target different screens. For example, a first portion of the gesture may maintain or “pin” a screen in a display such that a second portion of the gesture is operative to move a different screen behind the pinned application.

15. A method of controlling a handheld computing device comprising:
-
receiving a first portion of a gesture input; targeting the first portion of the gesture input to a first display having a first actively displayed screen corresponding to a first application; maintaining the first actively displayed screen in the first display in response to the first portion of the gesture input; receiving a second portion of the gesture input; targeting a different screen than the actively displayed screen in the first display with the second portion; and wherein the different screen undergoes a change in position with respect to the first display and at least a second display in response to the second portion of the gesture input. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)

19. A system for controlling a handheld computing device, comprising:
-
a processor; a first display and a second display in operative communication with the processor; a gesture sensor in operative communication with the processor and operative to receive a gesture input; and wherein the gesture input is interpretable by the processor to move an application from a first application stack associated with the first display to a second application stack associated with the second display.
