That is the only context in which that gesture makes sense.<p>You couldn&#x27;t patent the steering wheel just because you stick it in something that&#x27;s not a car. You&#x27;d have to use it for something that&#x27;s not steering or wheeling. Slide-to-unlock is obvious because it&#x27;s based on a bolt that you ... slide to unlock. There&#x27;s no novelty in unlocking something, software or not, by solving such a simple &#x27;puzzle&#x27; as moving your finger sideways. It&#x27;s certainly not a stroke of genius.
