Abstract
An apparatus includes a touch sensitive area that is arranged and configured to receive one or more gestures, a memory that is arranged and configured to store one or more device gestures, where the stored device gestures correspond to a selection of one of one or more remote devices and a processor that is operably coupled to the touch sensitive area and the memory. The processor is arranged and configured to compare the gestures received in the touch sensitive area to the stored device gestures, determine a selected remote device based on the comparison and initiate contact with the selected remote device.
