A method and apparatus for deforming touch screen activation targets/regions associated with items represented on a display of a touch screen device comprises, receiving information indicating the orientation or movement of the touch screen device, and responsive to the received information, changing the activation region of the item with respect to the display representation of that item. The items might be a plurality of keys forming a virtual keyboard, and the invention provides an offset between the actual activation area of a key and the representation of the key on the display. This invention may reduce typographical errors when a user is in an unusual position, such as lying down. The method may further adjust the activation regions in response to typographical errors, in response to a particular user using the device, or in response to different times of day. The orientation or movement might be detected by an accelerometer or a gyroscope. |
