Abstract
A user is able to triage information on a touch-enabled computing device. Information objects are displayed on a touch-sensitive screen of the device. Whenever the user makes a first gesture on the screen using a first user input modality, the first gesture and that it was made using this first modality are identified, a first information management operation specifically associated with the first gesture being made with this first modality is also identified, and this first operation is implemented on the objects. Whenever the user subsequently makes a second gesture on the screen using a second user input modality which is different than the first modality, the second gesture and that it was made using this second modality are identified, a second information management operation specifically associated with the second gesture being made with this second modality is also identified, and this second operation is implemented on the objects.
