1. A device, comprising:
- a display;
a sensing unit sensing a tactile interaction at least on the display;
an activation point near an edge of the display, the activation point identifying a predetermined command in accordance with a position of the activation point on the display, and the activation point not being explicitly displayed;
a detecting unit, detecting a reserved gesture not starting from the activation point and a gesture starting from the activation point representing the predetermined command corresponding to the tactile interaction on the display, wherein the reserved gesture not starting from the activation point, and the gesture starting from the activation point are differentiated; and
a processing unit, processing a command based on the detected gesture, wherein the processing unit executes a reserved command corresponding to the reserved gesture when the detecting unit detects the reserved gesture and wherein the processing unit executes the predetermined command represented by the gesture starting from the activation point, when the detecting unit detects the gesture starting from the activation point.

Abstract
Devices, methods and computer readable mediums storing a program causing a computer to execute a process for interacting with targets on a display, particularly in regards to devices utilizing a multi-touch display that are driven by gestures. The use of such devices, methods, and computer readable mediums storing a program allows the user to interact with devices through the use of multi-touch displays.

9. A method of interacting with targets on a display, comprising:
-
providing an activation point near an edge of the display, wherein the activation point identifies a predetermined command in accordance with a position of the activation point on the display, and the activation point is not explicitly displayed; sensing a tactile interaction at least on the display; detecting a reserved gesture not starting from the activation point and a gesture starting from the activation point representing the predetermined command corresponding to the tactile interaction on the display, wherein the reserved gesture not starting from the activation point, and the gesture starting from the activation point are differentiated; and processing a command based on the detected gesture, wherein a reserved command corresponding to the reserved gesture is executed when the reserved gesture is detected, and wherein the predetermined command represented by the gesture starting from the activation point is executed, when the gesture starting from the activation point is detected. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process for interacting with a display, the process comprising:
-
providing an activation point near edge of a display, wherein of the activation point identifies a predetermined command in accordance with a position of the activation point on the display, and the activation point is not explicitly displayed; sensing a tactile interaction at least on the display; detecting a reserved gesture not starting from the activation point and a gesture starting from the activation point representing the predetermined command corresponding to the tactile interaction on the display, wherein the reserved gesture not starting from the activation point, and the gesture starting from the activation point are differentiated; and processing a command based on the detected gesture, wherein a reserved command corresponding to the reserved gesture is executed when the reserved gesture is detected, and wherein the predetermined command represented by the gesture starting from the activation point is executed, and when the gesture starting from the activation point is detected. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A device, comprising:
-
a sensing unit sensing a tactile interaction on a display, the display having a perimeter, and activation point identifying a predetermined command in accordance with a position of the activation point on the display and disposed near the perimeter of the display, the activation point not being explicitly displayed, and an inner portion within the perimeter, and activation the predetermined command represented by the activation point in response to sensing the tactile interaction on the activation point; a detecting unit, detecting a reserved gesture not starting from the activation point and a gesture starting from the activation point representing the predetermined command corresponding to the tactile interaction on the display, wherein the reserved gesture not starting from the activation point, and the gesture starting from the activation point are differentiated; a processing unit, executing a command based on the detected gesture, wherein the processing unit executes a reserved command corresponding to the reserved gesture when the detecting unit detects the reserved gesture, and wherein the processing unit executes the predetermined command represented by the gesture starting from the activation point when the detecting unit detects the gesture starting from the activation point. - View Dependent Claims (23)
