Implementing focus indication of components displayed on a display device
First Claim
1. A method for implementing focus indication of components displayed on a display device, the display device coupled to one or more processors and to a plurality of user input devices, the method comprising the following performed by the one or more processors:
- accepting a first signal from a first user input device to change focus to a first selected component on the display device, wherein the first user input device is not a mouse or touch user input device;
providing a focus indicator in association with the first selected component in response to the first signal;
accepting a second signal from the mouse or touch user input device to change focus to a second selected component;
determining that focus has changed in response to an input from the mouse or touch user input device; and
suppressing display of a focus indicator for the second selected component in response to the determining.

Abstract
Focus indication is implemented for components displayed on a display device. A first signal is accepted from a first user input device to change focus to a first selected component on the display device. A focus indicator is provided in association with the first selected component in response to the first signal. A second signal is accepted from a mouse or touch user input device to change focus to a second selected component. A determination is made that focus has changed in response to an input from the mouse or touch user input device. Display of the focus indicator is suppressed for the second selected component in response to the determining.

19. An apparatus comprising:
-
one or more processors; and logic encoded in one or more tangible media for execution by the one or more processors and when executed operable to; accept a first signal from a first user input device to change focus to a first selected component on a display device, wherein the first user input device is not a mouse or touch user input device; provide a focus indicator in association with the first selected component in response to the first signal; accept a second signal from a mouse or touch user input device to change focus to a second selected component; determine that focus has changed in response to an input from a mouse or touch user input device; and suppress display of a focus indicator for the second selected component in response to determining that the focus has changed.

20. A non-transitory processor-readable storage device including instructions executable by a digital processor, the tangible processor-readable storage device including one or more instructions for:
-
accepting a first signal from a first user input device to change focus to a first selected component on a display device, wherein the first user input device is not a mouse or touch user input device; providing a focus indicator in association with the first selected component in response to the first signal; accepting a second signal from a mouse or touch user input device to change focus to a second selected component; determining that focus has changed in response to an input from a mouse or touch user input device; and suppressing display of a focus indicator for the second selected component in response to the determining that the focus has changed.
