Device and method for processing user input
First Claim
1. A method for generating a display object, the method comprising:
- detecting a gesture based user input via an input interface, the user input comprising a portion of a first input; and
operating a processor in communication with the input interface to;
generate, in response to detecting the user input, the display object for display by a display device, wherein the display object comprises an outline of one or more shapes symbolizing an action that will subsequently be performed by the processor on completion of the first input, wherein the outline of the one or more shapes is substantially fully filled on completion of the first input; and
output the display object on the display device while the first input is detected,wherein a change in the display object in response to the detected user input is indicative of an extent of completion of the first input, and wherein the change in the display of the display object comprises progressively changing the color of the one or more shapes, progressively changing the shading of the one or more shapes, or progressively filling the outline of the one or more shapes.

Abstract
A method for generating display data comprises detecting user input via an input interface. A processor is in communication with the input interface to generate display data comprising a display object for display by a display device. The display object is representative of an action that will subsequently be performed by the processor on continuation of the user input. The display data on the display device is output while the user input is being detected. Alternatively, the display object is caused to appear on the display device over time as the user input is being performed, wherein the rate at which the display object appears is different to the rate of performance of the user input. A device and executable computer program for performing the steps of the method is also provided.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising executable instructions which, when executed, cause the processor to:
-
detect a gesture based user input via an input interface, the user input comprising a portion of a first input; generate, in response to detecting the user input, a display object for display by a display device, wherein the display object comprises an outline of one or more shapes symbolizing an action that will subsequently be performed by the processor on completion of the first input, wherein the outline of the one or more shapes is substantially fully filled on completion of the first input; and output the display object on the display device whilst the first input is being detected, wherein a change in the display object in response to the detected user input is indicative of an extent of completion of the first input, and wherein the change in the display of the display comprises progressively changing the shading of the one or more shapes, progressively changing the color of the one or more shapes, or progressively filling the outline of the one or more shapes.

16. A device for generating a display object, the device comprising:
-
an input interface configured to detect a gesture based user input, the user input comprising a portion of a first input; a processor in communication with the input interface, the processor being configured to; generate, in response to detecting the user input, a display object for display by a display device, wherein the display object comprises an outline of one or more shapes symbolizing an action that will subsequently be performed by the processor on completion of the first input, wherein the outline of the one or more shapes is substantially fully filled on completion of the first input; and output the display object on the display device whilst the first input is being detected, wherein a change in the display object in response to the detected user input is indicative of an extent of completion of the first input, and wherein the change in the display of the display object comprises progressively filling the outline of the one or more shapes, progressively changing the color of the one or more shapes, or progressively changing the shading of the one or more shapes. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
