Abstract
An apparatus can include a processor; memory accessibly by the processor; a display operatively coupled to the processor; an object detector operatively coupled to the processor; and display circuitry that controls transparency of a rendered keyboard based at least in part on input sensed via the object detector.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- memory accessibly by the processor;
- a display operatively coupled to the processor;
- an object detector operatively coupled to the processor;
- and
- display circuitry that controls transparency of a rendered keyboard based at least in part on input sensed via the object detector.
3 more elements
A method comprising:
- rendering a keyboard at a first transparency level to a display;
- detecting an object;
- and
- responsive to the detecting, rendering the keyboard at a second transparency level that differs from the first transparency level.
1 more element
One or more computer-readable storage media comprising processor-executable instructions to instruct a computing device wherein the instructions comprise instructions to:
- render a keyboard at a first transparency level to a display;
- detect an object;
- and
- responsive to the detection of an object, render the keyboard at a second transparency level that differs from the first transparency level.
