1. A user interface of a smart compact device comprising:
- a display screen configured to report position information, said display screen adapted to communicate with an activating object disposed in at least one of a touching state and a proximate non-touching state;
means configured to display data on said display screen responsive to said activating object being disposed in said proximate non-touching state for a selected time period; and
means configured to hide at least a portion of said data responsive to said activating object being disposed in said touching state.

Abstract
A user interface of a smart compact device employs a combination comprising a display screen in combination with an activating object that is capable of reporting X and Y position information in a first state and a second state. Selected data is displayed or hidden depending on whether the first state or second state is detected.

28. A method for presenting and manipulating information in a user interface of a smart compact device, comprising a display screen configured to report position information, said display screen adapted to communicate with an activating object disposed in at least one of a touching state and a proximate non-touching state, the method comprising the steps of:
-
determining if said activating object is in said proximate non-touching state;
displaying data responsive to said activating object being disposed in said proximate non-touching state for a selected time period; and
controlling said data on said display screen to hide second data responsive to said activating object being disposed in said proximate non-touching state. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47)

48. A method for controlling a display of data on a user interface presented on a display screen configured to report position information, said display screen adapted to communicate with an activating object disposed in at least one of a first proximate non-touching state and a second proximate non-touching state;
- defined by a first and second proximity relationship between said activating object and said display screen, respectively, the method comprising the steps of;
sensing a sensed relationship between said activating object and said display screen;
determining if said sensed relationship is said first proximity relationship;
displaying a first group of data on said display screen following a selected time period if said sensed relationship is said first proximity relationship;
determining if said sensed relationship is said second proximity relationship;
displaying a second group of data on said display screen if said sensed relationship is said second proximity relationship; and
controlling said display screen to hide at least a portion of said second group of data responsive to said activating object being disposed in said first proximity relationship. - View Dependent Claims (49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58)
- defined by a first and second proximity relationship between said activating object and said display screen, respectively, the method comprising the steps of;

59. A method for presenting and manipulating information in a user interface of a smart compact device comprising a display screen configured to report position information, said display screen adapted to communicate with an activating object disposed in at least one of a touching state and a proximate non-touching state, the method comprising the steps of:
-
determining if said activating object is in said proximate non-touching state;
displaying data responsive to said activating object being disposed in said proximate non-touching state for a selected time period;
determining if said activating object is in said touching state; and
hiding at least a portion of said data if said activating object is in said touching state.
