Glow touch feedback for virtual input devices
First Claim
1. A method for providing visual feedback in response to an actuation of a virtual key in a virtual keyboard, the method comprising:
- receiving a user input corresponding to a first virtual key of a plurality of virtual keys, the plurality of virtual keys comprising a virtual keyboard;
actuating the first virtual key in response to the user input;
registering an actuation of the first virtual key; and
displaying a luminescent confirmation in response to registering the actuation, the luminescent confirmation comprising a visual distinction in a brightness of a graphical representation of the first virtual key relative to a brightness of a plurality of graphical representations corresponding to other virtual keys of the plurality of virtual keys, the visual distinction further including deterioration of the brightness of the graphical representation of the first virtual key over a period of time, such that upon termination of the period of time the brightness of the graphical representation of the first virtual key is the same as the other virtual keys of the plurality of virtual keys.

Abstract
The claimed subject matter is directed to providing feedback in a touch screen device in response to an actuation of a virtual unit in a virtual input device. Specifically, the claimed subject matter provides a method and system for providing visual feedback in response to an actuation of a virtual key in a virtual keyboard. One embodiment of the claimed subject matter is implemented as a method for providing luminescent feedback in response to an actuation of a virtual key in a virtual keyboard. User input in a virtual keyboard corresponding to a virtual key is received. The corresponding virtual key is actuated and registered in response to the user input, and a luminescent feedback is displayed to the user as confirmation of the actuation of the virtual key.

7. A method for providing visual feedback in response to an actuation of a virtual key in a virtual keyboard, the method comprising:
-
receiving a user input corresponding to a first virtual actuator of a plurality of virtual actuators, the plurality of virtual actuators comprising a virtual input device; actuating the first virtual actuator in response to the user input; registering an actuation of the first virtual actuator; and displaying a luminescent confirmation in response to registering the actuation, the luminescent confirmation comprising a visual distinction in a brightness of a graphical representation of the first virtual actuator relative to a brightness of a plurality of graphical representations corresponding to other virtual actuators of the plurality of virtual input device, the visual distinction further including deterioration of the brightness of the graphical representation of the first virtual actuator over a period of time, such that upon termination of the period of time the brightness of the graphical representation of the first virtual actuator is the same as the other virtual actuators. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11)

12. A computing device, comprising:
-
at least one processor, and at least one memory device that comprises computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform acts including; causing a virtual keyboard to be displayed, the virtual keyboard having a graphical representation, the virtual keyboard further comprises a plurality of virtual keys, each of the plurality of virtual keys having a graphical representation displayed in the graphical representation of the virtual keyboard; receiving a user input corresponding to a first virtual key of the plurality of virtual keys; actuating the first virtual key in response to the user input; registering an actuation of the first virtual key; and causing a luminescent confirmation to be displayed in response to registering the actuation, the luminescent confirmation comprising a visual distinction in a brightness of a graphical representation of the first virtual key relative to a brightness of a plurality of graphical representations corresponding to other virtual keys of the plurality of virtual keys, the visual distinction further including deterioration of the brightness of the graphical representation of the first virtual key over a period of time, such that upon termination of the period of time the brightness of the graphical representation of the first virtual key is the same as the other virtual keys of the plurality of virtual keys. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
