Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes displaying an input tool comprising a first touch icon and a first input icon. The first touch icon may be visually separated from the first input icon by a predetermined distance. The first input icon may provide a graphical indication of an input associated with the first touch icon. The method may include determining an input based on a touch at or substantially near a location on a touch sensor associated with the first touch icon. The method may also include effecting the input as determined.
Claims23
A method comprising:
- displaying by a computing device an input tool comprising a first touch icon and a first input icon, the first touch icon being visually separated from the first input icon by an offset distance, the first input icon providing a graphical indication of an input associated with the first touch icon;
- and
- in response to a touch at or substantially near a location on a touch sensor associated with the first touch icon:
- determining by the computing device an input based on the touch, the input corresponding to the graphical indication provided by the first input icon;
- and
- effecting by the computing device the input as determined.
One or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media embodying logic that is configured when executed to:
- display an input tool comprising a first touch icon and a first input icon, the first touch icon being visually separated from the first input icon by an offset distance, the first input icon providing a graphical indication of an input associated with the first touch icon;
- and
- in response to a touch at or substantially near a location on a touch sensor associated with the first touch icon:
- determine an input based on the touch, the input corresponding to the graphical indication provided by the first input icon;
- and
- effect the input as determined.
A device comprising:
- a touch screen;
- and
- one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media embodying logic that is configured when executed to:
- cause to be displayed on the touch screen an input tool comprising a first touch icon and a first input icon, the first touch icon being visually separated from the first input icon by an offset distance, the first input icon providing a graphical indication of an input associated with the first touch icon;
- and
- in response to a touch at or substantially near a location on a touch sensor associated with the first touch icon:
- determine an input based on the touch, the input corresponding to the graphical indication provided by the first input icon;
- and
- effect the input as determined.
