1. A computing device comprising:
- a display device;
a bezel disposed adjacent the display device;
a display gesture module configured to recognize display touch input on the display device;
a bezel gesture module configured to recognize bezel touch input on the bezel;
the computing device configured to indicate, in response to a single-contact dragging bezel gesture recognized by the bezel gesture module, first functionality; and
the computing device further configured to indicate, in response to a multi-contact dragging bezel gesture recognized by the bezel gesture module, second functionality that is different than the first functionality.

Abstract
Bezel gestures for touch displays are described. In at least some embodiments, the bezel of a device is used to extend functionality that is accessible through the use of so-called bezel gestures. In at least some embodiments, off-screen motion can be used, by virtue of the bezel, to create screen input through a bezel gesture. Bezel gestures can include single-finger bezel gestures, multiple-finger/same-hand bezel gestures, and/or multiple-finger, different-hand bezel gestures.
