Abstract
A user interface of a mobile device is provided for adjusting dynamically sizes of displayed items in response to a contactless movement of a user's finger relative to a display. In one aspect, sizes of a subgroup of items are enlarged when the finger is approaching but not yet touching the icons. It helps the user to make a more accurate selection. In another aspect, some contents of the next hierarchical level are displayed in accompanying with the enlarged size of at least one displayed item. Various embodiments are disclosed for a position sensing system including image, ultrasonic and thermal sensing systems for the mobile device.
Claims20
A display system for an electronic apparatus comprising:
- a. a display layer;
- b. a plurality of temperature sensors disposed in a plurality of substrate units beneath the display layer, said plurality of temperature sensors pertaining to determining temperature distribution across said substrate units according to a predetermined frequency;
