CONTROLLING RESPONSIVENESS TO USER INPUTS ON A TOUCH-SENSITIVE DISPLAY
First Claim
1. Apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory having computer-readable code stored thereon which when executed controls the at least one processor:
- to cause display of content generated by a software application associated with the processor;
to receive signals indicative of touch inputs on a touch-sensitive display;
to respond to detection of the software application being woken from an idle state by entering a first mode in which touch-based interactions in one or more predetermined sub-regions of the touch-sensitive display are rejected, andwhilst in the first mode, to respond to detection of a touch-based interaction without the one or more predetermined sub-regions by exiting the first mode and thereafter to respond to touch-based interactions in said one or more predetermined sub-region of the touch-sensitive display.

Abstract
A communications terminal comprises a and a touch-sensitive display for displaying content generated by a software application associated with the processor and for receiving touch-based interactions for use with said software application. A display controller is operable to selectively accept and reject touch-based interactions in one or more predetermined sub-region(s) of the touch-sensitive display. Interactions in said sub-region(s) are rejected in response to said software application being woken from an idle state by an event triggered independent of user interaction and subsequently accepted in response to a predetermined event, for example by user action in an active zone outside of the sub-region(s).

-
to cause display of content generated by a software application associated with the processor; to receive signals indicative of touch inputs on a touch-sensitive display; to respond to detection of the software application being woken from an idle state by entering a first mode in which touch-based interactions in one or more predetermined sub-regions of the touch-sensitive display are rejected, and whilst in the first mode, to respond to detection of a touch-based interaction without the one or more predetermined sub-regions by exiting the first mode and thereafter to respond to touch-based interactions in said one or more predetermined sub-region of the touch-sensitive display. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)

10. A method comprising:
-
causing display of content generated by a software application associated with the processor; receiving signals indicative of touch inputs on a touch-sensitive display; responding to detection of the software application being woken from an idle state by entering a first mode in which touch-based interactions in one or more predetermined sub-regions of the touch-sensitive display are rejected, and whilst in the first mode, responding to detection of a touch-based interaction without the one or more predetermined sub-regions by exiting the first mode and thereafter to respond to touch-based interactions in said one or more predetermined sub-region of the touch-sensitive display.

12. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon computer-readable code, which, when executed by computing apparatus, causes the computing apparatus to perform a method comprising:
-
causing display of content generated by a software application associated with the processor; receiving signals indicative of touch inputs on a touch-sensitive display; responding to detection of the software application being woken from an idle state by entering a first mode in which touch-based interactions in one or more predetermined sub-regions of the touch-sensitive display are rejected, and whilst in the first mode, responding to detection of a touch-based interaction without the one or more predetermined sub-regions by exiting the first mode and thereafter to respond to touch-based interactions in said one or more predetermined sub-region of the touch-sensitive display.

-
to cause display of content generated by a software application associated with the processor; to receive signals indicative of touch inputs on a touch-sensitive display; and to respond to detection of a content window provided by the software application being enlarged by entering a first mode in which touch-based interactions in one or more predetermined sub-regions at a perimeter of the touch-sensitive display are rejected. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 20, 21)
