Description
Method and apparatus for displaying selectable user interface items
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to method and apparatus for displaying selectable user interface items. In particular, it relates to displaying selectable user interface items in an adaptable layout on a touch-sensitive display screen.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Many current hand held devices comprise a touch-screen as a user interface to enable easy interaction. However, the touch sensitive nature of these screens makes accidental or erroneous selection of items common. Many mechanisms have been incorporated in such devices to avoid accidental touch to the surface (proximity sensor to lock the interface when the user is listening to the phone as in case of iPhone) or approach sensors as disclosed, for example by US2008/0055259 to modify the display to accommodate the motor skill level of the user. Such displays have a layout of a plurality of selectable user interface items designed with some optimum ergonomics so that the user can select the required item without accidentally touching other item in error. However, the specifically designed layout may not suit everybody, for example, in using a finger as the input device, different people have different finger sizes. Also people with almost same finger sizes can use different fingers (little finger instead of index finger) to interact. This poses a problem in the case of statically designed layouts and with different types of input device such as a finger or stylus.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention seeks to provide adaption of a display of selectable user interface items with use of different input devices. This is achieved according to a first aspect by a method of displaying at least one selectable user interface item, the method comprising the steps of: displaying, in a predetermined layout, at least one selectable user interface item on a display; determining an area of contact of a user input device with the display; adapting the predetermined, displayed
layout of the at least one selectable user item on the basis of the determined area of contact of the user input device; and displaying the adapted layout on the display.
This is also achieved by a second aspect by apparatus for displaying at least one user selectable interface item, the apparatus comprising: a display for displaying, in a predetermined layout, at least one selectable user interface item; determining means for determining an area of contact of a user input device with the display; a processor for adapting the predetermined, displayed layout of the at least one selectable user interface item on the basis of the determined area of contact of the user input device.
In this way, the contact area of different user input devices is used to simply determine a change in the layout of selectable user interface items. As a result, wrong interaction of the user with touch screen based inputs is avoided and the user need not be over cautious when using a screen with multiple keys placed close to each other.
The size and/or number of the selectable user interface items may be adjusted on the basis of the determined area of contact of the user input device. This helps to create a screen with content that change dynamically to suit all age groups (children to grown ups), to suit different input devices and different sized input devices. Further, it creates a screen with non cluttered selectable user interface items which provides a stress-free interaction.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF AN EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION
Figure 1 illustrates an example of a display comprising a predetermined layout 100 of a plurality of selectable user interface items 10 I a, 10 I b, 10 I c, 10 I d, 10 I e,
103_a, 103_b, 103_c, 103_d. The particular layout shown in Figure 1 is merely an example of the possible layouts which can be adapted by the embodiment of the present invention.
The layout 100 may comprises two different types of selectable user interface items to define separate actions. As shown a first type of selectable user interface items 101 a, 101 b, 101 c, 10 I d, 10 I e are data items in the form of a list and a second type of selectable user interface items 103_a, 103_b, 103_c, 103_d displayed as graphical elements or icons for performing an action displayed below the first type of selectable user interface itemslOl a, 101 b, 101 c, 101_d, 101_e.
The display is a touch sensitive screen in which any of the selectable user interface items 101 a, 101 b, 101 c, 101_d, lOl e, 103_a, 103_b, 103_c, 103_d can be selected by the user touching the area of the screen occupied by that selectable user interface items 101 a, 101 b, 101 c, 101_d, lOl e, 103_a, 103_b, 103_c, 103_d to carry out an action or select data, for example, as defined by the selectable user interface items 101 a, 101 b, 10 I c, 10 I d, 10 I e, 103_a, 103_b, 103_c, 103_d. The layout 100 may be adapted and an example of a new adapted layout 200 is shown in Figure 2. In the new layout 200, the first type of selectable user interface items 101 a, 101 b, 101 c, 101_d are displayed in a list of a reduced number of items. The size of the second type of selectable user interface item 103_a, 103_b, 103_c, 103_d has been increased and the space occupied by these items has been increased by the decrease in the number of the first type of selectable user interface items to enable display of the new sized items.
The apparatus and method to achieve this new layout according to an embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to Figures 3 and 4. The apparatus comprises a user input means 301 connected to a determining means 303. The determining means 303 is connected to a processor 305 and a local storage device 307. The processor is connected to a display 309 which comprises an interactive screen, such as a touch-sensitive screen or the like.
A predetermined layout, such as that shown in Figure 1 is displayed on the display 309, step 401. The user wishing to make a selection from the selectable user interface items 101 a, 101 b, 101 c, 10 I d, 10 I e, 103_a, 103_b, 103_c, 103_d makes use of an input device such as their finger or a stylus to interact with the screen of the display 309. The selection made is input via the input means 301. The area of the screen occupied by the input device (finger or stylus) is determined, step 403 by the determining means 303 using techniques known in the art. The area may be determined once upon contact or updated at
predetermined time intervals. Alternatively, the area may be determined upon each change in the layout displayed.
The determined area is saved in the local storage device 307, step 405. The local storage device 307 stores a plurality of default sizes for each selectable user interface items. The processor 305 reads the screen definition to determine the number of selectable user interface items 101 a, 101 b, 101 c, 101_d, lOl e, 103_a, 103_b, 103_c, 103_d to be placed in the layout, step 407. The determined contact area of the input device is retrieved from the local storage device 307, step 409.
The determined contact area of the input device is compared with the current size of the selectable user interface items 101 a, 101 b, 101 c, 101_d, lOl e, 103_a, 103_b, 103_c, 103_d, step 411. If it is determined by the processor 305 that these are different, the layout of the selectable user interface items 101 a, 101 b, 101 c, 101_d, lOl e, 103_a, 103_b, 103_c, 103_d is adapted, step 413 and displayed, step 415.
For example, if it is determined that the determined contact area of the input device is greater that the area of the screen occupied by the selectable user interface items 101 a, 101 b, 101 c, 101_d, lOl e, 103_a, 103_b, 103_c, 103_d, (i.e. the current size of the selectable user interface item) the selectable user interface items 101 a, 101 b, 101 c, 101_d, lOl e, 103_a, 103_b, 103_c, 103_d are resized to make then at least as larger or larger than the determined contact area of the input device by selecting the appropriate default size for that selectable user interface item from the local storage device 307.
As shown in Figure 2, the determined contact area of the input device was greater that the area occupied by one of the graphical elements 103_a, 103_b, 103_c, 103_d. These elements 103_a, 103_b, 103_c, 103_d are resized to be greater than the current size of the elements in the predetermined layout of Figure 1. The number of selectable user interface items 101 a, 101 b, 101 c, 10 I d, 10 I e, 103_a, 103_b, 103_c, 103_d for the particular layout is known and the layout is adapted to accommodate the resized elements 103_a, 103_b, 103_c, 103_d, for example the number of first type of selectable user interface items 101 a, 101 b, 101 c, 101_d, lOl e displayed may be reduced. This re-positioning of the second type of selectable user interface item 103_a, 103_b, 103_c, 103 in the layout and correspondingly shrinking the list by reducing the number of the first type of selectable user interface items 101 a, 101 b, 101 c, 10 I d, 10 I e, assists the user and provides a more stress-free interaction.
The re-positioning of the icons after resizing can be based on a set of predefined rules. However the idea is to give a larger sized item to the user for his
convenience. Further, the layout may include items which are called "options". This item assists the user by displaying data first and then upon activating the "options" item enabling multiple icons to be displayed. This idea is to enable the user to see larger chunk of data and then bring up multiple items. When these items come up, the data view size is shrunk to accommodate those multiple items. For example, when a list of tracks are displayed in a jukebox application, a plurality of options can be provided for the user to action upon a selected track, e.g. add to playlist; delete; rate etc.
Alternatively, if it is determined that the determined contact area of the input device is greater than the area of the screen occupied by the selectable user interface items 101 a, 101 b, 101 c, 101_d, lOl e, 103_a, 103_b, 103_c, 103_d, the number of selectable user interface items 101 a, 101 b, 101 c, 101_d, lOl e, 103_a, 103_b, 103_c, 103_d may be adapted to allow more space between the items on the screen for a large contact area of the input device to avoid erroneous selection of neighbouring items.
The embodiments above can be used in any hand held devices that support touch-screen for all applications that is supported by the touch-screen- hand held devices.
Although embodiments of the present invention have been illustrated in the accompanying drawings and described in the foregoing detailed description, it will be understood that the invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed, but is capable of numerous modifications without departing from the scope of the invention as set out in the following claims.
'Means', as will be apparent to a person skilled in the art, are meant to include any hardware (such as separate or integrated circuits or electronic elements) or software (such as programs or parts of programs) which reproduce in operation or are designed to reproduce a specified function, be it solely or in conjunction with other functions, be it in isolation or in co-operation with other elements.
