AUTOMATICALLY SWITCHING BETWEEN INPUT MODES FOR A USER INTERFACE

摘要

A system and machine-implemented method for automatically switching between input modes for a user interface. A user interface is displayed in a first input mode for a first input type. A determination is made that a predetermined event has occurred, wherein the predetermined event is of a type other than the first input type or a second input type. In response to the determination, the user interface is switched from the first input mode for the first input type to a second input mode for the second input type.

1. A computer-implemented method for automatically switching between input modes for a user interface, the method comprising:
displaying, on a screen, a user interface in a first input mode for a first input type; detecting, using a sensor, a distance of a user from the screen; determining, prior to receiving touch input on the screen, that the detected distance from the screen is within a threshold distance; and switching, in response to the determination and prior to receiving the touch input on the screen, the user interface from the first input mode for the first input type to a second input mode for a second input type, wherein the second input mode corresponds to a touch mode for touch input.
