A computing device comprising:
- a housing;
- a display assembly including a display screen;
- a touch sensor provided within a portion of the housing;
- wherein the housing at least partially circumvents the screen so that the screen is viewable;
- a processor provided within the housing, the processor operating to:
- display a content region on the display screen;
- and
- respond to touch input, detected through the touch sensor within the portion of the housing, by overlaying a panel over at least a portion of the content region.
5 more elements
A method for operating a computing device, the method being implemented by one or more processors and comprising:
- displaying content in form of a content region on a display screen of the computing device;
- and
- responding to touch input detected through a touch sensor mechanism of a housing of the computing device, by overlaying at least a portion of a panel over a portion of a content region.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores instructions, that when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations that include:
- displaying content in form of a content region on a display screen of the computing device;
- and
- responding to touch input detected through a touch sensor mechanism of a housing of the computing device, by overlaying at least a portion of a panel over a portion of a content region.
