Glow touch feedback for virtual input devices
First Claim
1. A method of providing visual feedback in response to an actuation of a virtual key, comprising:
- detecting user input corresponding to the virtual key, a plurality of virtual keys comprising the virtual key being displayed on a touch screen; and
displaying, on the touch screen, visual confirmation in response to detection of the user input corresponding to the virtual key for a period of time, the visual confirmation comprises a visual distinction in a brightness of the virtual key relative to a brightness of other virtual keys in the plurality of virtual keys for the period of time, wherein the brightness of the virtual key is the same as the brightness of the other virtual keys in the plurality of virtual keys after the period of time.

Abstract
The claimed subject matter is directed to providing feedback in a touch screen device in response to an actuation of a virtual unit in a virtual input device. Specifically, the claimed subject matter provides a method and system for providing visual feedback in response to an actuation of a virtual key in a virtual keyboard. One embodiment of the claimed subject matter is implemented as a method for providing luminescent feedback in response to an actuation of a virtual key in a virtual keyboard. User input in a virtual keyboard corresponding to a virtual key is received. The corresponding virtual key is actuated and registered in response to the user input, and a luminescent feedback is displayed to the user as confirmation of the actuation of the virtual key.
