Abstract
A method for initiating a user-selected operation on a computer system includes sensing a user contacting the user interface device at a first position with one finger of a user, determining whether the one finger is a first finger of the user or is a second finger of the user, wherein when the one finger is the first finger, the method includes determining a first operation to be performed in response to the first finger, and performing the first operation on the computer system, and wherein when the one finger is the second finger, the method includes determining a second operation to be performed in response to the second finger, and performing the second operation on the computer system.
