Patent ID: 8196066

Claim:
A method comprising: receiving, by a first computing device, data representative of a gesture detected by a presence-sensitive screen of the computing device; receiving, by the first computing device and from a server, an aggregated group of gesture-shortcut associations, wherein the aggregated group of gesture-shortcut associations includes a plurality of gesture-shortcut associations received by the server from at least a second computing device, and wherein the aggregated group of gesture-shortcut associations is aggregated based at least in part on similarities between at least one of 1) each respective gesture from the aggregated group of gesture-shortcut associations, and 2) each respective shortcut from the aggregated group of gesture-shortcut associations; identifying, by the first computing device, a shortcut associated with the detected gesture, wherein the shortcut corresponds to an action to be performed by the first computing device, and wherein identifying the shortcut comprises accessing at least a portion of the aggregated group of gesture-shortcut associations, the portion of the aggregated group of gesture-shortcut associations having been determined based at least in part upon prior user input received from the at least one other computing device; and providing for display, by the computing device, data representative of the shortcut.
