1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- recognizing a first input at a first screen of a multi-screen system, the first input including a first motion input to a first displayed object on the first screen;
recognizing a second input at a second screen of the multi-screen system, the second input including a second motion input to a second displayed object on the second screen; and
determining at least one of a pinch gesture or an expand gesture from the first and second motion inputs that are associated with the recognized first and second inputs, the pinch gesture effective to condense the first displayed object for display on the first screen proximate a bezel of the multi-screen system that separates the first and second screens, and effective to condense the second displayed object for display on the second screen proximate the bezel of the multi-screen system, the first and second displayed objects condensed for said display independent of each other on the respective first and second screens.

Abstract
Embodiments of multi-screen pinch and expand gestures are described. In various embodiments, a first input is recognized at a first screen of a multi-screen system, and the first input includes a first motion input. A second input is recognized at a second screen of the multi-screen system, and the second input includes a second motion input. A pinch gesture or an expand gesture can then be determined from the first and second motion inputs that are associated with the recognized first and second inputs.

9. A multi-screen system, comprising:
-
at least a memory and a processor to implement a gesture module configured to determine at least one of a pinch gesture or an expand gesture from motion inputs associated with recognized first and second inputs, the pinch gesture effective to condense displayed objects; an input recognition system configured to; recognize the first input at a first screen, the first input including a first motion input to condense a first displayed object on the first screen; and recognize the second input at a second screen, the second input including a second motion input to condense a second displayed object on the second screen, the first and second displayed objects configured to condense for display independent of each other on the respective first and second screens, and the second input being recognized approximately when the first input is recognized. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A computer-readable storage media device comprising stored instructions that are executable and, responsive to executing the instructions, a multi-screen system is initiated to:
-
recognize a first input at a first screen of the multi-screen system, the first input including a first motion input to a first displayed object on the first screen; recognize a second input at a second screen of the multi-screen system, the second input including a second motion input to a second displayed object on the second screen; and determine at least one of a pinch gesture or an expand gesture from the first and second motion inputs that are associated with the recognized first and second inputs, the pinch gesture effective to condense the first displayed object for display near a screen edge on the first screen and effective to condense the second displayed object for display near the screen edge on the second screen, the first and second displayed objects configured to condense for said display independent of each other on the respective first and second screens. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
