  • Publication number: 20130132885
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein that generally involve allowing movement of windows or other user interface objects back and forth between a touch screen display and a non-touch display using only touch inputs. In one embodiment, a “send” touch gesture performed on a window displayed on the touch screen display causes automatic movement of the window to the non-touch display. A tab corresponding to the moved window is then displayed on the touch screen display. The tab can be used to interact with the window using touch inputs, even though the window has been moved to a non-touch display. For example, a “retrieve” touch gesture can be performed on the tab to move the window back to the touch screen display, or a “select” touch gesture can be performed on the tab to bring the moved window to the front and give the moved window focus.
