ADJUSTING TAP POSITION ON TOUCH SCREEN
First Claim
1. A method to adjust a tap position on a display screen of an application in an electronic device, the method comprising:
- determining tap probabilities for one or more user interface (UI) components of the application;
detecting a user'"'"'s tap position on at least one of the UI components; and
adjusting the tap position based on the determined tap probabilities.

Abstract
Technologies are generally described for adjusting a tap position on a display screen of an application running on an electronic device. Example devices/systems described herein may use one or more of a probability calculator, a tap detector, a tap position adjustor and/or an area map database (DB). In various examples, an electronic device may determine tap probabilities for one or more user interface (UI) components of the application by the probability calculator. The tap detector may detect a user'"'"'s tap position on at least one of the UI components. Further, the tap position adjustor may adjust the tap position based on the tap probabilities. An area map may be generated to define clickable areas on the display screen corresponding to the one or more UI components, and may be stored in the area map DB which may be shared with some other electronic devices through a cloud system.

18. A system configured to adjust a tap position on a display screen of an electronic device, the system comprising:
-
a probability calculator configured to determine a tap probability for one or more user interface (UI) components presented on the display screen; a tap detector coupled to the probability calculator and configured to detect a tap position on at least one of the UI components; a tap position adjustor coupled to the probability calculator and to the tap detector and configured to adjust the tap position based on the determined tap probability and based on the detected tap position; and an area map database (DB) coupled to the probability calculator and configured to store an area map that defines clickable areas on the display screen corresponding to the one or more UI components, wherein the area map DB is further configured to store tap probabilities in association with the clickable areas defined by the area map. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
