Abstract
A system for enabling a user to navigate a graphical user interface by touching pads on a touch surface. The arrangement of the pads on the touch surface is static, but the functions associated with each pad dynamically change in correspondence with functions in the graphical user interface. The functions are automatically and dynamically extracted from the software that creates the window display. Certain pads are regularly used for certain user options found in windows.
