First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for receiving and presenting input content on a communication device, the method comprising:
- initially displaying an input screen on a display of the communication device, the input screen including a user action interface region comprising a first input field having a first fixed width and a fixed height;
receiving content in the first input field;
detecting an overflow condition for the first input field; and
when the overflow condition is detected,replacing the first input field with either at least one user interface element invocable to initiate an action pertaining to the received content, or a feedback user interface element comprising information relating to the received content;
displaying, in a region of the input screen adjacent to the user action interface region, a second input field having a second width greater than the first fixed width; and
presenting the received content in the second input field.

Abstract
A device and method are provided for receiving and presenting input content. The device initially displays an input screen including a user action interface region having a first input field having a first fixed width and a fixed height. When overflowing content is detected, the first input field is replaced with at least one user interface element, and the first input field is translated and expanded to a new second position substantially non-overlapping with the first, the new input field being larger in width than the original input field

9. A method for receiving and presenting input content on a communication device, the method comprising:
-
displaying an input screen on a display of the communication device, the input screen including a first input field for receiving user-input content, the first input field having a first fixed width and a fixed height and occupying a first region of the input screen; receiving user-input content in the first input field; detecting an overflow condition for the first input field; and when the overflow condition is detected, executing a translation and expansion of the first input field to provide a second input field displayed in the input screen in place of the first input field, the second input field occupying a second region of the touchscreen that does not overlap with the first region, the second input field having a second fixed width greater than the first fixed width of the first input field, and presenting the received user-input content in the second input field.

10. A communication device adapted for receiving and presenting input content, the communication device comprising:
-
a display; and a processor in communication with the display, the processor being configured to; initially display an input screen on the display, the input screen including a user action interface region comprising a first input field having a first fixed width and a fixed height; receive content in the first input field; detect an overflow condition for the first input field; and when the overflow condition is detected, replace the first input field with either at least one user interface element invocable to initiate an action pertaining to the received content, or a feedback user interface element comprising information relating to the received content; display, in a region of the input screen adjacent to the user action interface region, a second input field having a second width greater than the first fixed width; and present the received content in the second input field. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12)

13. A non-transitory computer-readable medium bearing code which, when executed by at least one processor of a communication device, causes the device to implement the method of:
-
initially displaying an input screen on a display of the communication device, the input screen including a user action interface region comprising a first input field having a first fixed width and a fixed height; receiving content in the first input field; detecting an overflow condition for the first input field; and when the overflow condition is detected, replacing the first input field with either at least one user interface element invocable to initiate an action pertaining to the received content, or a feedback user interface element comprising information relating to the received content; displaying, in a region of the input screen adjacent to the user action interface region, a second input field having a second width greater than the first fixed width; and presenting the received content in the second input field. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
