Touch Screen Hover Input Handling

摘要

Apparatus has at least one processor and at least one memory having computer-readable code stored thereon. When executed, the code controls the at least one processor: to cause display of a list or array of objects on a touch screen; to respond to detecting a users digit at a location hovering over but not touching the touch screen by causing display of a first object at a location corresponding to the location of the digit to be changed from an original size to an enlarged size whilst causing display of other objects to remain substantially or exactly at their original size; and whilst the first object is displayed at the large size, to respond to detecting a trigger by increasing the size of a target area in which response is made to a touch input by selecting the first object.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
causing display of a list or array of objects on a touch screen; in response to detecting a user's digit at a location hovering over but not touching the touch screen, causing display of a first object at a location corresponding to the location of the digit to be changed from an original size to an enlarged size whilst causing display of other objects to remain substantially or exactly at their original size; and whilst the first object is displayed at the large size, responding to detecting a trigger by increasing the size of a target area in which response is made to a touch input by selecting the first object, wherein detecting the trigger comprises at least one of detecting movement of the digit towards the touch screen, or detecting that the user's digit has been hovering substantially at a same location over an object for a threshold period of time.
