First Claim
1. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by a processor of a mobile handheld computer comprising a screen, cause the processor to present a user interface for the mobile handheld computer, the user interface comprising at least one touch sensitive strip along at least one edge of the screen, wherein the user interface is programmed to provide an information transmission pipeline in response to first and second multi-step input gestures, each gesture comprising (i) an object touching the screen within said at least one touch sensitive strip, and then (ii) the object gliding along the screen away from said at least one touch sensitive strip, whereby the user interface is responsive to the first multi-step user input gesture to activate a first graphical user interface (GUI) on the screen for providing information to be transmitted, and is responsive to the second multi-step input gesture to activate a second GUI providing a plurality of options for transmitting the information provided by the first GUI.

Abstract
A computer readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by a processor of a mobile handheld computer, cause the processor to present a user interface including a touch sensitive area in which a representation of a function is provided, wherein the function is activated in response to a mufti-step operation including an object touching the touch sensitive area at a location where the representation is provided, and then the object gliding along the touch sensitive area away from the touched location irrespective of how far the object glides, wherein the function, when activated, causes the user interface to display user input controls at respective display locations that are determined prior to performance of the mufti-step operation, and wherein any user gesture that activates a function and begins with an object touching the touch sensitive area at a location where the representation is provided causes the same response.
