1. An interactive user interface method comprising:
- displaying a graphical user interface on a touch screen display device defined by a display area and an input area coextensive therewith;
receiving a user input through the input area of the touch screen display device, the user input masking a segment of the display area of the touch screen display device; and
overlaying a cursor preview window on the graphical user interface in response to the user input, the cursor preview window including a representation of a first section of the graphical user interface proximal to the masked segment of the display area, and a preview cursor positioned in a central region of the first section.

Abstract
An interactive user interface method for touch screen display devices begins with displaying a graphical user interface thereon. Upon receiving a touch input, a cursor preview window is generated in response, which includes a representation of a section of the graphical user interface proximal to the section obstructed by the touch input. Additionally, the cursor preview window includes a preview cursor that represents the location or coordinates that are registered as inputs to a data processing system connected to the touch screen display.

13. A user interface system for a touch screen display device comprising:
-
an input processing module connected to the touch screen display device for deriving input location coordinates associated with touch inputs sensed by the touch screen display device, the input location coordinates being representative of one position in an array of touch-sensitive positions of the touch screen display device; and a preview module for generating a cursor preview window including a reproduction of a selected segment of graphics being displayed on the touch screen display device, the selected segment being defined by a bounded area within a predefined proximity of the input location coordinates. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
