ABSTRACT:
Methods, computer program products and systems are provided for executing a function of a data processing computer system. The function may relate to an object. The method may be performed by: displaying a graphical representation of an object on a display device; receiving movement data from an input device, identifying a matching movement pattern that matches the cursor movement, which corresponds to the movement data; selecting a function that relates to the matching movement pattern and the object; and executing the function for the object. The identifying step can be performed by measuring the cursor movement as changes of the cursor coordinates occur. The result may then be compared to a plurality of predefined reference movement patterns. One movement pattern may be selected out of the plurality of reference movement patterns as the matching movement pattern for the object.
