ZOOMING KEYBOARD/KEYPAD
First Claim
1. A computing device-implemented method, comprising:
- detecting an input object that is one of in contact with or adjacent to a touch screen of the computing device;
calculating a location on the touch screen that is associated with the detected input object;
enlarging a display element, associated with the location, to a first size larger than sizes associated with one or more other display elements displayed on the touch screen;
enlarging one or more other display elements, provided adjacent to the display element, to a second size smaller than the first size; and
displaying, on the touch screen, the display element enlarged to the first size and the one or more other display elements, provided adjacent to the display element, enlarged to the second size.

Abstract
A device detects an input object that is one of in contact with or adjacent to a touch screen of the computing device, calculates a location on the touch screen that is associated with the detected input object, and enlarges a display element, associated with the location, to a first size larger than sizes associated with one or more other display elements displayed on the touch screen. The device also enlarges one or more other display elements, provided adjacent to the display element, to a second size smaller than the first size, and displays, on the touch screen, the display element enlarged to the first size and the one or more other display elements, provided adjacent to the display element, enlarged to the second size.

12. A device comprising:
-
a touch screen; a memory to store a plurality of instructions; and a processor to execute instructions in the memory to; detect an input object that is one of in contact with or adjacent to the touch screen, calculate a location on the touch screen that is associated with the detected input object, enlarge a display element, associated with the location, to a first size larger than sizes associated with one or more other display elements displayed on the touch screen, enlarge one or more other display elements, provided adjacent to the display element, to a second size smaller than the first size, and display, on the touch screen, the display element enlarged to the first size and the one or more other display elements, provided adjacent to the display element, enlarged to the second size. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 22, 23, 24)

25. A system comprising:
-
means for detecting an input object that is one of in contact with or adjacent to a touch screen of the computing device; means for calculating a location on the touch screen that is associated with the detected input object; means for enlarging a display element, associated with the location, to a first size larger than sizes associated with one or more other display elements displayed on the touch screen; means for enlarging one or more other display elements, provided adjacent to the display element, to a second size smaller than the first size; means for displaying, on the touch screen, the display element enlarged to the first size and the one or more other display elements, provided adjacent to the display element, enlarged to the second size; means for displaying, on a portion of the touch screen, a character associated with the display element; means for detecting removal of the input object from the location on the touch screen; means for receiving, as an input, a character associated with the display element; and means for restoring the display element to its original size.
