1. A computing device comprising:
- a display surface;
a human interface feature that enables a user of the computing device to enter a non-discrete directional input action;
processing resources that execute to;
provide content on the display surface;
detect the user performing the input action;
determine a vector from the input action; and
select a region of the display surface based on (i) the vector and (ii) one or more characteristics of the region that delineate the region from a surrounding portion of the content.

Abstract
A computing device includes a display surface, a human interface feature, and processing resources. The human interface features enables a user of the computing device to enter a non-discrete directional input action. The processing resources execute to: (i) provide content on the display surface; (ii) detect the user performing the input action; (ii) determine a vector from the input action; and (iv) select a region of the display surface based on the vector.

16. A computing device comprising:
-
a display region; processing resources that are configured to; present content on the display surface, including a plurality of selectable data items on a sub region of the display surface; analyze at least a portion of a content on display that includes the plurality of selectable data items to determine a spacing between at least some of the plurality of data items; responsive to determining that the spacing between the selectable data items is less than a pre-determined threshold, re-display at least a portion the content to enhance the user'"'"'s ability to select a desired data item and not inadvertently select an undesired data item. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
