LIST WITH TARGETS FOR TOUCH SCREENS

摘要

Various embodiments are generally directed to techniques for increasing the accuracy with which list items may be selected on a touch screen. A machine-readable storage medium includes instructions that when executed cause a computing device to present a list of multiple list items on a touch screen, each associated with a touch area and including a presentation area and a visible target marking a location of the touch area, wherein the targets and coinciding touch areas of adjacent first and second list items are positioned at different first and second widthwise positions of the presentation areas of the first and second list items, respectively, and wherein the touch areas of each the first and second list items coincide with a portion of the presentation area of the other of the first and second list items. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
presenting a list comprising multiple list items on a touch screen, each list item of the multiple list items associated with a touch area, and each list item comprising a presentation area and a visible target marking a location of the associated touch area wherein:
the target of a first list item of the multiple list items is positioned at a first widthwise position of the presentation area of the first list item;the target of a second list item of the multiple list items is positioned at a second widthwise position of the presentation area of the second list item;the second list item is adjacent the first list item in the list; andthe second widthwise position differs from the first widthwise position along a widthwise dimension of the list; defining the touch area of the first list item to coincide with the target of the first list item and with a portion of the presentation area of the second item; and defining the touch area of the second list item to coincide with the target of the second list item and with a portion of the presentation area of the first list item.
