Dynamic modification of displayed elements of obstructed region
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for use with an input device having an input region at least partly overlapping with a display region of a display device, the method comprising:
- determining an input occurring in the input region;
determining an obstructed region of the display region corresponding to the input, wherein the obstructed region overlaps a displayed element in the display region;
determining, using at least the input, a type of a user interaction with the input device, wherein the type is selected from a plurality of predetermined types describing user interactions with content displayed by the display device;
determining a relevance of content of the displayed element to the type of the user interaction; and
modifying, using the determined relevance, the displayed element to be non-overlapping with the obstructed region.

Abstract
A method is disclosed, as well as a related input device and computer program product, for use with an input device having an input region at least partly overlapping with a display region of a display device. The method comprises determining an input occurring in the input region, and determining an obstructed region of the display region corresponding to the input. The obstructed region overlaps a displayed element in the display region. The method further comprises determining a relevance of the displayed element to a user interaction with the input device. The user interaction is determined using at least the input. The method further comprises modifying, using the determined relevance, the displayed element to be non-overlapping with the obstructed region.
