TECHNIQUES FOR CONTENT NAVIGATION USING PROXIMITY SENSING
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of manipulating a display, comprising:
- detecting a set of one or more user appendages proximate to and out of contact with a set of one or more corresponding sensor locations of a sensing region of a remote control device;
determining, based at least in part on a mapping of the sensing region to a display region of a remote display device, a set of one or more display locations of the display region; and
transmitting a signal that causes the display device to display a set of one or more representations of the detected set of one or more user appendages according to the determined set of one or more second locations.

Abstract
Techniques for content navigation utilize proximity sensing so that user interaction with a graphical user interface is based at least in part on both contact with a surface and contactless interaction with the surface. A representation of an object detected as being proximate to and/or in contact with a surface appears on a display, which may be separate from the surface. The representation may appear at a location of the display that is determined according to a mapping of surface locations to display locations. The representation is updated based at least in part on movement of the object relative to the surface and one or more distances of the object from the surface.

10. A computer-implemented method of manipulating a display, comprising:
-
calculating measurements that correspond to distances of a user appendage from a sensing region of a remote control device as the user moves the user appendage relative to the sensing region; determining, based at least in part on a mapping of locations of the sensing region to locations of a display device, a location on the display device that corresponds to a location of the appendage relative to the sensing region; and taking one or more actions that cause a display device to display a representation of the appendage according to the determined location on the display device such that the representation has one or more color characteristics that vary based at least in part on the calculated measurements. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)

14. A user input system, comprising:
-
one or more processors; and memory including instructions that, when executed collectively by the one or more processors, cause the user input system to cause a display device to at least; display a representation of a user appendage on a display of the display device at a location of the display based at least in part on a mapping of locations of a sensing region of a remote control device to locations on the display; and change one or more color characteristics of the representation based at least in part on changes in distances of the user appendage from a sensing region of a remote control device. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)

18. A user input system for interacting with a graphical user interface, comprising:
-
one or more processors; and memory including instructions that, when executed collectively by the one or more processors, cause the user input system to cause a display device to at least; display a representation of a user appendage at a display location of a display of the display device, the display location based at least in part on a mapping of display locations of the display device to sensing locations of a sensing region of a sensing device; and at least when the appendage moves relative to and out of contact with the sensing device, change the display location based at least in part on the mapping. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)

25. A display device, comprising:
-
one or more processors; and memory including instructions that, when executed collectively by the one or more processors, cause the display device to at least; display a graphical user interface; receive signals corresponding to user interaction with a sensing region of a sensing input device, the signals being based at least in part on a number of dimensions of user interaction that is greater than two; and change the graphical user interface according to the received signals. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
