USE OF SECONDARY FACTORS TO ANALYZE USER INTENTION IN GUI ELEMENT ACTIVATION
First Claim
1. A method of activating a graphical user interface element, comprising:
- presenting the graphical user interface element via a touch-sensitive display surface;
receiving a user input at the touch-sensitive display surface;
determining whether one or more secondary factors associated with the user input indicate an intentional contact with the graphical user interface element that is presented via the touch sensitive display surface;
activating the graphical user interface element if the one or more secondary factors indicate the intentional contact with the graphical user interface element; and
disregarding the user input by not activating the graphical user interface if the one or more secondary factors do not indicate the intentional contact.

Abstract
An interactive media display system and a method of activating a graphical user interface element presented by the interactive media display system are provided. The method includes presenting the graphical user interface element via a touch-sensitive display surface of the interactive media display system; receiving a user input at the touch-sensitive display surface; determining whether one or more secondary factors associated with the user input indicate an intentional contact with the graphical user interface element that is presented via the touch sensitive display surface; activating the graphical user interface element if the one or more secondary factors indicate the intentional contact with the graphical user interface element; and disregarding the user input by not activating the graphical user interface if the one or more secondary factors do not indicate the intentional contact.

11. An interactive media display system, comprising:
-
a touch-sensitive display surface configured to present a graphical user interface element; a logic subsystem; and memory holding executable instructions that, when executed by the logic subsystem, cause the logic subsystem to; identify an initial location where the touch-sensitive display surface is initially contacted by an object; identify a final location where the object discontinues contact with the touch-sensitive display surface; and activate the graphical user interface element only if; a contact distance between the initial location and the final location exhibits a pre-determined relationship to a threshold contact distance; a contact duration between a time when the object initially contacts the touch-sensitive display surface at the initial location and a time when the object discontinues contact at the final location exhibits a pre-determined relationship to a threshold contact duration; and a contact velocity of the object between the initial location and the final location exhibits a predetermined relationship to a threshold contact velocity. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method of activating a graphical user interface element, comprising:
-
presenting a graphical user interface element via the touch-sensitive display surface; recognizing a user input contacting the touch-sensitive display surface; selecting an activation criterion for the graphical user interface element in accordance with a size of the graphical user interface element that is presented via the touch-sensitive display surface; activating the graphical user interface element if the activation criterion is satisfied by one or more secondary factors associated with the user input; and disregarding the user input by not activating the graphical user interface if the activation criterion is not satisfied by the one or more secondary factors associated with the user input. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
