Controlling electronic equipment with a touching-type signal input device

A system for controlling electronic equipment with a touching-type signal input device, comprising:

• a display;
• and
• a processor programmed to:
• receive an inputted navigator-calling request that specifies a user request to navigate among a set of previously-opened application views of different applications;
• compare a request mode of the inputted navigator-calling request with a predefined request mode associated with navigation among the set of previously-opened application views of the different applications;
• determine whether the request mode of the inputted navigator-calling request matches with the predefined request mode;
• and
• display an open-views navigator in response to determining there is a match on the display, where the open-views navigator comprises a plurality of open-views tabs distributed on at least part of a closed structure that each allow selective navigation to a previously-opened application view of one of the different applications.

A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium including computer readable program code, where the computer readable program code when executed on a computer causes the computer to:

• receive an inputted navigator-calling request that specifies a user request to navigate among a set of previously-opened application views of different applications;
• compare a request mode of the inputted navigator-calling request with a predefined request mode associated with navigation among the set of previously-opened application views of the different applications;
• determine whether the request mode of the inputted navigator-calling request matches with the predefined request mode;
• and
• display an open-views navigator in response to determining there is a match, where the open-views navigator comprises a plurality of open-views tabs distributed on at least part of a closed structure that each allow selective navigation to a previously-opened application view of one of the different applications.
