Claim Text:
1. An apparatus comprising: a touch screen having a contiguous region sensing contact from at least a portion of a human hand on a surface of the touch screen, the touch screen comprising a visual display and a sensor array having a plurality of sensors, each sensor having a unique spatial location and an associated unique address, the sensing comprising generation of sensor measurement values associated with each of the plurality of sensors; wherein sensors at a plurality of sensor spatial locations are configured to provide associated sensor measurement values responsive to the sensed contiguous region of contact; a value of at least one control parameter for the contiguous region of contact responsive to a measured change in at least one of the associated sensor measurement values, the value obtained by performing a calculation based on the associated sensor measurement values and interpreting the results as signifying a touch gesture, wherein the at least one control parameter is associated with the touch gesture; and at least one of the control parameters is assigned to a specific control signal; wherein the touch gesture comprises a finger flick touch gesture recognized from sequential dynamics among postures.
