Abstract:
1. A system comprising: a processor; a touchscreen display interacting with the processor; an interface application executable by the processor to control the touchscreen display, the interface application controlling the touchscreen display to provide a container and user interface controls, the user interface controls including a first user interface control provided on a first layer of a multilayer display arrangement and a second user interface control provided on a second layer of the multilayer display arrangement that overlaps the first layer, where the interface application detects a motion magnitude of a touch or a contact in a plane of the touchscreen display within the container, identifies selection of a selected user interface control of the user interface controls in response to the touch or the contact of the touchscreen display proximate to the selected user interface control when the detection indicates that the touch or the contact has a motion magnitude in the plane of the touchscreen display that does not exceed a threshold value, and identifies a gesture when the detection indicates that the touch or the contact has a motion magnitude in the plane of the touchscreen display that exceeds the threshold value.
