US 2023/0236684 A1 · METHOD AND DEVICE FOR NAVIGATING IN A USER INTERFACE AND APPARATUS COMPRISING SUCH NAVIGATION

Abstract

A method is provided for navigating in a display screen by way of a control surface including a step of measuring: —a data item, termed position, relating to a position targeted, on the control surface, by a remote control object positioned opposite the control surface, and —a data item, termed vertical distance, relating to the distance between the at least one remote control object and the control surface; and a drive step, carrying out, as a function of the vertical distance measured: —a displacement, and/or —an adjustment of a parameter relating to a displacement; of at least one part of a zone and/or of a symbol displayed on the display screen and chosen as a function of the target position.

A method comprising:

displaying a first user interface including a first user interface element and a second user interface element that is different from the first user interface element;
while displaying the first user interface, detecting a first input that includes movement of a hovering object toward a portion of the first user interface;
in response to detecting the first input, changing a size of a plurality of user interface elements based on an amount of movement of the hovering object toward the portion of the first user interface during the first input, including:
increasing a size of the first user interface element by a first amount, wherein the first amount is a function of at least a distance of the hovering object from the portion of the first user interface;
and
increasing a size of the second user interface element by a second amount different than the first amount, wherein the second amount is a function of at least the distance of the hovering object from the portion of the first user interface;
after detecting the first input, detecting a second input that includes further movement of the hovering object toward the portion of the first user interface;
and
in response to detecting the second input, changing the size of the plurality of user interface elements based on an amount of movement of the hovering object toward the portion of the first user interface during the second input, including:
increasing the size of the first user interface element by a third amount, wherein the third amount is a function of at least the distance of the hovering object from the portion of the first user interface;
and
increasing the size of the second user interface element by a fourth amount, wherein the fourth amount is a function of at least the distance of the hovering object from the portion of the first user interface.

An electronic device, comprising:

one or more processors;
memory, wherein the one or more processors are configured to execute instructions stored in the memory, and wherein the instructions, when executed, are configured to cause the electronic device to perform operations comprising:
displaying a first user interface including a first user interface element and a second user interface element that is different from the first user interface element;
while displaying the first user interface, detecting a first input that includes movement of a hovering object toward a portion of the first user interface;
in response to detecting the first input, changing a size of a plurality of user interface elements based on an amount of movement of the hovering object toward the portion of the first user interface during the first input, including:
increasing a size of the first user interface element by a first amount, wherein the first amount is a function of at least a distance of the hovering object from the portion of the first user interface;
and
increasing a size of the second user interface element by a second amount different than the first amount, wherein the second amount is a function of at least the distance of the hovering object from the portion of the first user interface;
after detecting the first input, detecting a second input that includes further movement of the hovering object toward the portion of the first user interface;
and
in response to detecting the second input, changing the size of the plurality of user interface elements based on an amount of movement of the hovering object toward the portion of the first user interface during the second input, including:
increasing the size of the first user interface element by a third amount, wherein the third amount is a function of at least the distance of the hovering object from the portion of the first user interface;
and
increasing the size of the second user interface element by a fourth amount, wherein the fourth amount is a function of at least the distance of the hovering object from the portion of the first user interface.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions, which when executed by one or more processors of an electronic device, cause the electronic device to perform operations comprising:

displaying a first user interface including a first user interface element and a second user interface element that is different from the first user interface element;
while displaying the first user interface, detecting a first input that includes movement of a hovering object toward a portion of the first user interface;
in response to detecting the first input, changing a size of a plurality of user interface elements based on an amount of movement of the hovering object toward the portion of the first user interface during the first input, including:
increasing a size of the first user interface element by a first amount, wherein the first amount is a function of at least a distance of the hovering object from the portion of the first user interface;
and
increasing a size of the second user interface element by a second amount different than the first amount, wherein the second amount is a function of at least the distance of the hovering object from the portion of the first user interface;
after detecting the first input, detecting a second input that includes further movement of the hovering object toward the portion of the first user interface;
and
in response to detecting the second input, changing the size of the plurality of user interface elements based on an amount of movement of the hovering object toward the portion of the first user interface during the second input, including:
increasing the size of the first user interface element by a third amount, wherein the third amount is a function of at least the distance of the hovering object from the portion of the first user interface;
and
increasing the size of the second user interface element by a fourth amount, wherein the fourth amount is a function of at least the distance of the hovering object from the portion of the first user interface.
