1. A method, comprising:
- providing a device with at least a first screen and a second screen;
wherein the first screen includes;
a first touch sensitive display; and
a first gesture capture area, wherein the first gesture capture area is physically separate from the first touch sensitive display, and wherein the first gesture capture area does not include pixels that perform a display function;
wherein the second screen includes;
a second touch sensitive display; and
a second gesture capture area, wherein the second gesture capture area is physically separate from the second touch sensitive display, and wherein the second gesture capture area does not include pixels that perform a display function;
receiving, by the second gesture capture area, a first gesture, having a first direction and a first movement, in response to the first gesture;
based on the first direction and the first movement, determining that the first gesture is a request to move a first unviewed image onto the second touch sensitive display;
first displaying the first unviewed image on the second touch sensitive display so that the first unviewed image is a first viewed image;
placing a first focus on the first viewed image;
receiving, by the second gesture capture area, a second gesture, having a second direction and a second movement, in response to the second gesture;
determining that the second gesture is indicating a second request to move a window from the first touch sensitive display onto the second touch sensitive display;
displaying the window on the second touch sensitive display; and
placing a second focus on the window; and
receiving, by the second touch sensitive display, a third gesture, having the first gesture and the first movement;
in response to the third gesture, determining that the third gesture is indicating an edit request to content in the window.

10. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer executable instructions that are executed by at least one processor of a device with at least a first screen and a second screen, wherein the first screen includes a first touch sensitive display and a first gesture capture area that is physically separate from the first touch sensitive display, and wherein the second screen includes a second touch sensitive display and a second gesture capture area that is physically separate from the second touch sensitive display, wherein neither the first gesture capture nor the second gesture capture area includes pixels that perform a display function, wherein the at least one processor performs a method comprising:
-
receiving, by a first gesture capture area, a drag gesture indicating a request to move a first window, wherein the drag gesture has a first direction and a first movement, and wherein the first direction and the first movement determines where to move the first window; in response to receiving the drag gesture, a processor moving the first window from an original position on the first touch sensitive display to a new position on the second touch sensitive display; placing the focus on the first window displayed in the new position; receiving, by a first gesture capture area, a second drag gesture indicating a request to move a second window, wherein the second drag gesture has a second direction and a second movement, and wherein the second direction and the second movement determines where to move the second window; in response to receiving the second drag gesture, a processor moving the second window from an unviewed position to a second new position on the first touch sensitive display; placing the focus on the second window displayed in the second new position; and receiving, by the second touch sensitive display, a fourth gesture, having the first gesture and the first movement; in response to the fourth gesture, determining that the fourth gesture is indicating an edit request to content in the window. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A dual screen communication device, comprising:
-
a first screen including; a first gesture capture area to receive a gesture, and wherein the first gesture capture does not include pixels that perform a display function; a first touch sensitive display; a second screen including; a second touch sensitive display; a second gesture capture area to receive the gesture, and wherein the second gesture capture does not include pixels that perform a display function; a computer readable medium that stores computer executable instructions that when executed by at least one processor perform a method comprising; receiving, by the second gesture capture area, a first gesture, having a first direction and a first movement, in response to the first gesture; determining that the first gesture is a request to move a first unviewed image onto the second touch sensitive display; displaying the first unviewed image on the second touch sensitive display so that the first unviewed image is a first viewed image; and placing a first focus on the first viewed image; receiving, by the second gesture capture area, a second gesture, having a second direction and a second movement, in response to the second gesture; determining that the second gesture is indicating a second request to move a first window from the first touch sensitive display onto the second touch sensitive display; displaying the first window on the second touch sensitive display; and placing a second focus on the first window; receiving, by the first gesture capture area, a third gesture, having the second direction and the second movement, in response to the third gesture; determining that the third gesture is a third request to move a second unviewed image onto the first touch sensitive display; displaying the second unviewed image on the first touch sensitive display so that the second unviewed image is a second viewed image; and placing a third focus on the second viewed image; receiving, by the first gesture capture area, a fourth gesture, having the first direction and the first movement, in response to the fourth gesture; determining that the fourth gesture is indicating a fourth request to move a second window from the second touch sensitive display onto the first touch sensitive display; displaying the second window on the first touch sensitive display; and placing a fourth focus on the second window; and receiving, by the second touch sensitive display, a fifth gesture, having the first gesture and the first movement; in response to the fourth gesture, determining that the fifth gesture is indicating an edit request to content in the second window. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
