METHOD FOR THREE-DIMENSIONAL SUPPORT OF THE MANUAL OPERATION OF GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACES
First Claim
1. A method for operating a device having a graphical display operated by hand or using stylus, characterized in that a graphical interaction is generated on the control panel of said display analogous to the three-dimensional position of the hand or the stylus as soon as said hand or stylus is located in the immediate vicinity of said display.

Abstract
The present invention relates to the operation of a device having a graphical display operated by hand or using a stylus, characterized in that a graphical interaction is generated on said display analogous to the three-dimensional position of the hand or the stylus as soon as said hand or stylus is located in the immediate vicinity of said display. This concerns a system that supports the operator in manipulating graphical user interfaces in a three-dimensional form, such that an optical reaction takes place on the existing graphical application as soon as the operator approaches, said optical reaction reflecting an analogous function to the position of the finger or the stylus. The user interface reacts at the position where the finger of the user approaches, whereby the image curves, for example, as seen through a sphere. The closer the finger, the stronger is the effect, until finally contact with the surface executes the prescribed action.
