G06F 3/041

US Classification:

715863, 345173

Abstract:

There is disclosed a wireless communication device for communicating with one or more remote devices. The device comprises a touch-sensitive surface, a user interface, and a transceiver. The user interface produces an input signal in response to detecting a predetermined gesture at the touch-sensitive surface. The transceiver communicates wirelessly with a remote device and terminates communication with the remote device in response to the input signal from the user interface. The device determines that it is communicating the remote device, detects the predetermined gesture at the touch-sensitive surface, and terminates communication with the remote device in response to detecting the predetermined gesture while communicating with the remote device. The predetermined gesture includes continuous contact at the touch-sensitive surface between discrete locations of the surface.
