USER INTERFACE INDIRECT INTERACTION
First Claim
1. A method for indirect interaction with a user interface, comprising:
- receiving first input data indicative a first contact being applied in a first predefined manner relative to a sensory surface of an indirect interaction device;
launching an object in the user interface in response to the first input data; and
mapping at least a portion of the sensory surface to the object.

Abstract
One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for utilizing input data received from an indirect interaction device (e.g., mouse, touchpad, etc.) to launch, engage, and/or close, etc. an object within a user interface. For example, a sensory surface of the indirect interaction device may be divided into two (or more) portions, a first portion utilized to launch, engage, and/or close an object and a second portion utilized to navigate (e.g., a cursor) within the user interface. When an object is launched based upon receipt of a predefined gesture(s), the first portion of the sensory surface may be mapped to the object to provide for interaction with the object via an interaction between a contact (e.g., finger) and the first portion. Also, the surface area of the first portion may be altered (e.g., enlarged) when it is mapped to the object and/or according to operations performed on the object.
