Abstract

A computer-implemented method includes detecting a gesture on a touch-sensitive surface of a device, and determining whether the gesture is performed with respect to a predefined region on the touch-sensitive surface. The computer-implemented method further includes, in response to determining that the gesture is performed with respect to the predefined region, controlling an interaction focus on the touch-sensitive surface based on the gesture. A corresponding electronic device and computer program product are also disclosed.
