Abstract
A method including detecting a touch input to a display, where the touch input includes a location on the display and an amount of force, determining a magnification level based on the amount of force, generating a lens animation effect, where the lens animation effect magnifies a region of content shown on the display adjacent to the location by the magnification level, and displaying the lens animation effect on the display adjacent to the location.
Claims22
A method, comprising:
- detecting a touch input to a display, wherein the touch input comprises a location on the display and an amount of force;
- determining a magnification level based on the amount of force;
- generating a lens animation effect, wherein the lens animation effect magnifies a region of content shown on the display adjacent to the location by the magnification level;
- and
- displaying the lens animation effect on the display adjacent to the location.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a touch screen configured to display one or more contents;
- and
- one or more processors configured to:
- detect a touch input to the touch screen;
- magnify a region of contents to create an appearance of an animated lens in response to the touch input, wherein magnifying the region of contents uses a magnification level that at least initially increases based on an amount of force applied to the touch screen by the touch input;
- and
- instruct the touch screen to display the region of contents magnified.
A computer program product comprising computer executable instructions stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium that when executed by a processor cause the processor to:
- recognize a touch input on a screen;
- render a region of content to simulate an appearance of a lens with a magnification level that varies with an amount of force of the touch input, wherein the appearance of the lens comprises an animated flare along a portion of an edge of the region of content rendered;
- and
- display the region of content rendered on the screen.
