The phrase "action window" is correct and usable in written English.
It is typically used in contexts related to time-sensitive tasks or opportunities, indicating a specific period during which an action can be taken.
Example: "The action window for submitting your application closes at midnight, so make sure to complete it before then."
Alternatives: "opportunity window" or "time frame for action".
Users should have their own private pop-up action window in which they can perform the action they selected using the chorded modifier.
Fig. 11 The user in the right articulates the chord in the low right corner of the screen and then moves the action window in the appropriate position to draw the line.
When the user has lifted all his fingers from the screen, the chord interaction area is released, the system processes the chord and the appropriate action window or function is enabled.
This type of window makes it feasible for the system to identify the user (personal window) or the appropriate action (action window) unobtrusively, since it is a result of the appropriate chord articulated previously by the user.
Additionally, they tried to articulate the chord modifiers in the corner of the screen near them and then they preferred to drag the respective action window in the area to be drawn instead of articulating the chord exactly where they wanted to draw from the beginning (Fig. 11).
(Re "SCOTUS opens the affirmative action window," Opinion, June 26) Now, thanks to a single deciding vote by a U.S. Supreme Court justice, race is an acceptable element of admissions to the University of Texas.
Fig. 1 We have designed a toolkit for multi-touch chords and personal action windows for co-located collaboration on large multi-touch vertical displays.
As a remedy, we have introduced multi-touch chords (Fig. 1b) and personal action windows (Fig. 1c) for co-located collaboration on a large multi-touch vertical display.
The main contribution of this work is the design and implementation of a novel seamless identification and interaction technique that supports diverse multi-touch interactions by multiple users: multi-touch chord interaction along with personal action windows.
In this work, we proposed and implemented a chording technique that enables higher levels of multi-user diverse interactivity, collaboration and awareness when used along with personal action windows.
Instead of selecting an item in a fixed menu by reaching for it, users work simultaneously on shared tasks by means of personal action windows, which are triggered by multi-touch chords performed anywhere on the display.
