Abstract

See full text

Described embodiments include a device, method, and computer program product. A hand-held computing device has a touch-sensitive display surface. The device includes a screen manager circuit configured to delineate a touch-selectable area on the touch-sensitive display surface. The device includes a display circuit configured to display a widget in a positional relationship with the delineated touch-selectable area. The device includes an incoming-movement detector circuit configured to sense a motion of a user appendage approaching the touch-sensitive display surface. The device includes a prediction circuit configured to predict a touch-contact site on the touch-sensitive display surface of the approaching user appendage, the predicted touch-contact site at least partially based on the sensed motion. The device includes a display adjustment circuit configured to apply a compensating adjustment to the displayed widget or the delineated touch-selectable area, the compensating adjustment responsive to the predicted touch-contact site.
