    Abstract: In one embodiment of the present invention, a gesture recognition application enables interactive entry via a touch pad. In operation, the gesture recognition application partitions the touch pad into multiple zones. Upon detecting a gesture via the touch pad, the gesture recognition application determines whether the gesture is zone-specific. If the gesture is zone-specific, then the gesture recognition application determines the zone based on the location of the gesture and then selects an input group based on the zone and the type of gesture. If the gesture is zone-agnostic, then the gesture recognition application selects an input group based on the type of gesture, irrespective of the location of the gesture. Advantageously, by providing zone-specific gesture recognition, the gesture recognition application increases the usability of touch pads with form factors that limit the type of gestures that can be efficiently performed via the touch pad.
