METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR FACILITATING INTERACTION WITH TOUCH SCREEN APPARATUSES
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- detecting a touch interaction with a touch screen display;
identifying the touch interaction as comprising a trigger touch interaction, the trigger touch interaction comprising sliding an input object along a path from a point of origin outside of an active region of the touch screen display to a point within the active region;
determining, based at least in part upon the trigger touch interaction, a function associated with the trigger touch interaction; and
executing the determined function.
