The display system also includes a communication unit configured to receive a control for both a directional mode and a coordinate mode based only on a finger movement; and a control unit, coupled to the communication unit, configured to extract a directional command, a positional command, or a combination thereof from the control for controlling a device. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A display system comprising: a user interface configured to detect a finger movement for detecting a finger movement on a trackpad; and a control unit, coupled to the user interface, configured to process a control for both a directional mode and a coordinate mode based only on the finger movement for controlling a device. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the control unit is configured to provide a directional command and a positional command from the control. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein: the user interface configured to detect a first touch of the finger movement; the control unit configured to form a grid of cells based on the first touch. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the control unit is configured to: form a grid of cells based on the finger movement; determine a flick gesture with the finger movement within one of the cells; and process the control includes to issue a directional command based on the flick gesture meeting or exceeding a flick threshold. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the control unit is configured to: determine a flick gesture with the finger movement; and process the control includes to issue a directional command based on a contact length of the finger movement meeting or exceeding a contact length threshold. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the control unit is configured to form a grid of cells based on the finger movement and each of the cells having a buffer zone. ### Claim 7 A display system comprising: a communication unit configured to receive a control for both a directional mode and a coordinate mode based only on a finger movement; and a control unit, coupled to the communication unit, configured to extract a directional command, a positional command, or a combination thereof from the control for controlling a device. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The system as claimed in claim 7 wherein the control unit is configured to operate on an actionable item based on the directional command. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The system as claimed in claim 7 wherein the control unit is configured to move a cursor to a coordinate location based on the positional command. ### Claim 10 (depends on 7) The system as claimed in claim 7 wherein the control unit is configured to move a cursor to a coordinate location not related to an actionable item based on the positional command. ### Claim 11 A method of operation of a display system comprising: detecting a finger movement for detecting a finger movement on a trackpad; and processing a control for both a directional mode and a coordinate mode based only on the finger movement for controlling a device. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The method as claimed in claim 11 wherein processing the control for both the directional mode and the coordinate mode includes providing a directional command and a positional command, respectively. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The method as claimed in claim 11 wherein: detecting the finger movement include detecting a first touch; further comprising: forming a grid of cells based on the first touch. ### Claim 14 (depends on 11) The method as claimed in claim 11 further comprising: forming a grid of cells based on the finger movement; determining a flick gesture with the finger movement within one of the cells; and wherein: processing the control for both the directional mode and the coordinate mode include issuing a directional command based on the flick gesture meeting or exceeding a flick threshold. ### Claim 15 (depends on 11) The method as claimed in claim 11 further comprising: determining a flick gesture with the finger movement; and wherein: processing the control for both the directional mode and the coordinate mode include issuing a directional command based on a contact length of the finger movement meeting or exceeding a contact length threshold. ### Claim 16 (depends on 11) The method as claimed in claim 11 further comprising forming a grid of cells based on the finger movement and each of the cells having a buffer zone. ### Claim 17 A method of operation of a display system comprising: receiving a control for both a directional mode and a coordinate mode based only on a finger movement; and extracting a directional command, a positional command, or a combination thereof from the control for controlling a device. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The method as claimed in claim 17 further comprising operating on an actionable item based on the directional command. ### Claim 19 (depends on 17) The method as claimed in claim 17 further comprising moving a cursor to a coordinate location based on the positional command. ### Claim 20 (depends on 17) The method as claimed in claim 17 further comprising moving a cursor to a coordinate location not related to an actionable item based on the positional command.
