First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- at a computing device with a touch screen display,detecting one or more finger contacts with the touch screen display,applying one or more heuristics to the one or more finger contacts to determine a command for the device; and
processing the command;
wherein the one or more heuristics comprise;
a heuristic for determining that the one or more finger contacts correspond to a one-dimensional vertical screen scrolling command;
a heuristic for determining that the one or more finger contacts correspond to a two-dimensional screen translation command;
a heuristic for determining that the one or more finger contacts correspond to a command to transition from a displaying a respective item in a set of items to displaying a next item in the set of items;
a heuristic for determining that the one or more finger contacts correspond to a command to transition from displaying the respective item in a set of items to displaying a previous item in the set of items;
a heuristic for determining that the one or more finger contacts correspond to a command to display a keyboard primarily comprising letters; and
a heuristic for determining that the one or more finger contacts correspond to a command to show a heads up display.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method for use in conjunction with a computing device with a touch screen display comprises: detecting one or more finger contacts with the touch screen display, applying one or more heuristics to the one or more finger contacts to determine a command for the device, and processing the command. The one or more heuristics comprise: a heuristic for determining that the one or more finger contacts correspond to a one-dimensional vertical screen scrolling command, a heuristic for determining that the one or more finger contacts correspond to a two-dimensional screen translation command, and a heuristic for determining that the one or more finger contacts correspond to a command to transition from displaying a respective item in a set of items to displaying a next item in the set of items.
