ON-DEMAND USER CONTROL

摘要

A system and method for on-demand user control may detect a user's intend to interact with a currently undisplayed user control. The user's intent may include, for example, a hand approaching a touch-sensitive screen device. In response to the detected intent, the currently undisplayed user control may be displayed. The choice and location of the displayed user control may be derived from a location associated with the detected intent. The user control may be displayed progressively giving the appearance of morphing, emerging or being extruded from the display screen. The user may interact with the displayed user control using, for example, gestures on the touch-sensitive screen device.
