Abstract
According to one disclosed embodiment, an approach is provided in which a user input is detected at a first location on a display screen, such as a finger selection on a touch-enabled display screen. A number of visual controls that are proximate to the detected location are identified. A magnification interface is then displayed that includes a larger rendition of the visual controls.

25. An information handling system comprising:
-
at least one processor; a display accessible to the at least one processor; and a memory accessible to the at least one processor and bearing instructions executable by the processor to; detect a first user input at a first location on a user interface (UI) presented on the display, the first user input being detected at least proximate to a first arrangement of at least two visual controls, the visual controls of the first arrangement each respectively being presented on the UI prior to the detection of the first user input such that they are each presented in at least one dimension that is smaller than the same respective dimension of other visual controls presented on the UI not included in the first arrangement, the other visual controls presented on the UI not in the first arrangement having the same height and width; identify the visual controls of the first arrangement as at least being proximate to the detected first location; and present a magnification interface on the UI such that the magnification interface is overlaid on the area of the UI on which the visual controls of the first arrangement were presented prior to the detection of the first user input, the magnification interface also overlaid over at least a portion of at least one other area of the UI presenting at least one other visual control than those of the first arrangement, the magnification interface comprising a larger rendition of the visual controls of the first arrangement relative to their respective rendition on the UI prior to the detection of the first user input. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)

32. A computer readable storage medium that is not a carrier wave, the computer readable storage medium comprising instructions executable by a processor to:
-
detect a first user input at a first location on a user interface (UI) presented on a display, the first user input being detected at a first area of the display, the first area comprising a first arrangement of at least two visual controls presented on the display, the visual controls of the first arrangement each respectively being presented on the UI prior to the detection of the first user input such that they are each presented in at least one dimension that is smaller than the same respective dimension of at least one other visual control presented on the UI not included in the first arrangement, the other visual control presented on the UI not in the first arrangement occupying a second area on the display that is at least twice the size of a third area on the display occupied by any one of the visual controls of the first arrangement, the third area included in the first area; identify the visual controls of the first arrangement as at least being proximate to the detected first location; and present a magnification interface on the UI such that the magnification interface is overlaid on the first area, the magnification interface also overlaid over at least a portion of at least one other area of the UI not comprising the first area, the magnification interface comprising a larger rendition of the visual controls of the first arrangement relative to their respective rendition on the UI prior to the detection of the first user input. - View Dependent Claims (33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38)

39. A method, comprising:
-
detecting a first user input at a first location on a user interface (UI) presented on a display, the first user input being detected at a first area of the display, the first area comprising a first arrangement of at least two visual controls presented on the display, the visual controls of the first arrangement each respectively being presented on the UI prior to the detecting of the first user input such that they are each presented in at least one dimension that is smaller than the same respective dimension of at least one other visual control presented on the UI not included in the first arrangement; identifying the visual controls of the first arrangement as at least being proximate to the detected first location; and presenting a magnification interface on the UI such that the magnification interface is overlaid over at least a portion of the first area, the magnification interface also overlaid over at least a portion of at least one other area of the UI not comprising the first area, the magnification interface comprising a larger rendition of the visual controls of the first arrangement relative to their respective rendition on the UI prior to the detecting of the first user input. - View Dependent Claims (40, 41, 42, 43, 44)
