Display Interface and Method for Presenting Visual Feedback of a User Interaction
First Claim
1. A method for presenting to a user of an electronic device via a display screen of the electronic device visual feedback of a user interaction, when the device is at a limit of a requested function, the method comprising:
- detecting a gesture including a user interaction with the electronic device;
associating the gesture with a function;
determining whether the associated function has reached a limit which would preclude execution of the associated function;
wherein if the associated function has not reached the limit which would preclude execution of the associated function, then executing the function associated with the detected gesture; and
wherein if the associated function has reached the limit which would preclude execution of the associated function, then producing an image distortion proximate the user interaction.

Abstract
A display interface and method for presenting visual feedback of a user interaction with an image being presented via an electronic device are provided. The display interface includes a display adapted for visually presenting to the user at least a portion of an image. The display interface further includes a user input adapted for receiving a gesture including a user interaction with the electronic device. The display interface still further includes a controller. The controller is adapted for associating the gesture with a function, determining whether the associated function has reached a limit which would preclude execution of the associated function, and executing the function associated with the detected gesture. If the associated function has not reached the limit which would preclude execution of the associated function, then controller is adapted for executing the function associated with the detected gesture. If the associated function has reached the limit which would preclude execution of the associated function, then the controller is adapted for producing an image distortion proximate the user interaction.
