1. A flexible display user input receiving system, comprising:

  • a flexible display configured to display an image comprising at least one graphical user interface element, the flexible display further configured to receive input from a user by flexing of the flexible display;

    at least one flexing sensor, coupled to the flexible display, configured to characterize a flexing of the flexible display; and

    a user input controller, communicatively coupled to the at least one flexing sensor, the user input controller configured to;

    receive a characterization of a first flexing of the flexible display;

    receive a characterization of a second flexing of the flexible display, the second flexing intersecting the first flexing at an intersection point;

    determine that the intersection point is one of;

    intersecting a proximate user interface element, andbeing located within a first threshold distance from the proximate user interface element; and

    provide, based on determining that the intersection point is one of intersecting the proximate user interface element, and being located within the first threshold distance from the proximate user interface element, a user selection corresponding to the proximate user interface element.
