Abstract

See full text

A method and system for providing an alternate gesture interface. A computing device, such as an electronic personal display or e-reading device, includes a memory and a display screen having touch functionality. The memory stores instructions configured to enact a page transition operation for digital content rendered on the display screen upon receipt of a first gesture input action performed at a first portion of the display screen. The method comprises receiving a gesture-mode switch request; in response to the gesture-mode switch request, disabling the touch functionality of the display screen; activating the touch functionality in only a second portion of the display screen, the second portion being at least partly spatially exclusive of the first portion of the display screen; and enacting the page transition operation only when a predefined second gesture input action is received at the second portion of the display screen.
