4. A method of using a mobile computing device touch screen comprising,
selecting a first object on the mobile computing device touch screen, wherein selecting the first object, changes a mobile computing device operating state from a first mobile computing device operating state to a second mobile computing device operating state, and displays a second object on the mobile computing device touch screen upon activation of the second mobile computing device operating state, the second object, comprising a first element and a second element, wherein, a portion of a display on the mobile computing device touch screen is selected by, changing the first element to a desired first element without substantial movement of the first element on the electronic display in response to a tapping operation on the second element, changing a function of the first element from a first function to a second function, positioning the second object at a first location, touching the second element a first time, dragging the second element from the first location to a second location, touching the second element a second time, and selecting a text section, being adapted to, receive user input corresponding to the second mobile computing device operating state, and operatively change what is displayed on the mobile computing device touch screen; - and
re-selecting the first object on the mobile computing device touch screen, wherein re-selecting the first object, returns the mobile computing device operating state to the mobile computing device first operating state, and removes the second object from the mobile computing device touch screen. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7)
