Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2011026186A1] Methods are presented for mapping gestures to graphical user interface commands, where the gestures are performed on a touch screen using a configuration of fingers including at least two fingers bunched together. Preferably the bunched fingers are held in mutual contact, but are nonetheless resolvable as individual fingers. The gestures can include one or more taps or swipes with bunched fingers. In one particularly preferred embodiment a gesture comprising a swipe of two bunched fingers is mapped to a rotation command applied to a graphical object displayed on the graphical user interface.
