1. A computer-implemented method for identifying a requested action using a geometric input, the method comprising: receiving a geometric pattern input associated with user-selectable content displayed on the device; receiving an identifier of a referent entity identified as a specific person, specific place, specific physical object, or specific concept, the referent entity selected based on the geometric pattern input from a list of suggested entities identified from user-selectable content displayed on the device; identifying, based on a shape of the geometric pattern input, at least one action to be executed that is associated with the referent entity that is identified as the specific person, specific place, specific physical object, or specific concept; and providing an identifier of the at least one identified action to the device for selection.
