Push-Pull Type Gestures
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- recognizing a push gesture away from a cursor object displayed by a display device;
displaying an assisted location object to assist a user in repositioning the cursor object;
recognizing a prompt gesture effective to cause a prompt object having one or more options to be displayed, each of the one or more options being selectable to initiate a function that is operable using the cursor object;
recognizing a motion select gesture that selects one of the one or more options effective to replace the prompt object and initiate a function corresponding to the selected said option;
automatically dividing selected text into a plurality of vertical sections that are individually selectable to include or exclude when performing a subsequent function; and
performing the subsequent function applied to one or more of the plurality of vertical sections that are selected to be included as inputs to the subsequent function.

Abstract
Techniques for push-pull type gestures are described. In embodiments, a push gesture away from a cursor object that is displayed by a display device is recognized. An assisted location object is then displayed to assist a user in repositioning the cursor object based on the push gesture. In implementations, a prompt gesture is recognized effective to cause a prompt object having one or more options to be displayed. The options that are displayed are selectable to initiate a function that is operable using the cursor object. In addition, a motion select gesture that selects one of the options is recognized effective to replace the prompt object and initiate a function corresponding to the selected option. Also, selected text is automatically divided into a plurality of vertical sections that are individually selectable to include or exclude when performing a subsequent function, and then the subsequent function is performed.
