Abstract
An apparatus, method, and computer program product are described that determine a destination screen for display and provide for a visual transition between an origin screen and the destination screen based on a position of a user input and a direction of the movement component of the input. The origin screen may, for example, associate certain areas of the screen with certain destination screens, such that an input received in one area invokes one destination screen and an input received in another area invokes another destination screen. The destination screen may also be determined based on the direction of the movement component of the input. Thus, one of several destination screens may be accessible to the user and may be determined based on the characteristics of the input received.
