Visual response to touch inputs
First Claim
1. A computing device, comprising:
- a touch-sensitive display;
a processor; and
memory comprising instructions stored thereon that are executable by the processor to;
detect a touch input made via the touch-sensitive display;
display on the touch-sensitive display a first visual response to the touch input indicating that the touch input was detected by touch-sensitive display hardware, irrespective of whether the touch is made over a touch-interactive area of the display on which a touch-enabled user interface control is associated; and
if the touch input is made over the touch-interactive area of the display with which the touch-enabled user interface control is associated and if the touch input is detected by an application controlled by the touch-enabled user interface control, then to determine if the touch input is captured by the touch-enabled user interface control in the touch-interactive area of the display,display a second visual response to the touch input comprising a “
captured”
visual response if the touch input is captured by the touch-enabled user interface control, anddisplay a third visual response comprising an “
uncaptured”
visual response if the touch input is made in the touch-interactive area of the display but not captured by the touch-enabled user interface control.

Abstract
The provision of visual responses to touch inputs is disclosed. For example, one disclosed embodiment provides a computing device comprising a touch-sensitive display, a processor in operative communication with the touch-sensitive display, and memory comprising instructions stored thereon that are executable by the processor to detect a touch input made via the touch-sensitive display, display on the touch-sensitive display a first visual response to the touch input indicating that the touch input was detected by the computing device, and if the touch input is made in a touch-interactive area on the touch-sensitive display, then to display a second visual response to the touch input indicating that the touch was made in the touch-interactive area of the display.

10. A computing device, comprising:
-
a multi-touch display; a processor in operative communication with the multi-touch display; and memory comprising instructions stored thereon that are executable by the processor to; detect a touch input made via the multi-touch display; display on the multi-touch display a “
touch detected”
visual response to the touch input indicating that the touch input was detected by touch-sensitive display hardware, irrespective of whether the touch is made in an area of the multi-touch display associated with a touch-enabled user interface control;if the touch input is made in an area of the multi-touch display associated with the touch-enabled control displayed on the multi-touch display and activates the touch-enabled control, then displaying a “
captured”
visual response to the touch input if the touch input is captured by the touch-enabled control, and displaying an “
uncaptured”
visual response to the touch input if the touch input is not captured by the touch-enabled control; andif the touch input is made in an area of the multi-touch display that is not touch-enabled, then not displaying the “
captured”
visual response or the “
uncaptured”
visual response. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A computing device, comprising:
-
a touch-sensitive display; a processor in operative communication with the touch-sensitive display; and memory comprising instructions stored thereon that are executable by the processor to; detect a touch input made via the touch-sensitive display; display on the touch-sensitive display a first visual response to the touch input indicating that the touch input was detected by computing device hardware, irrespective of whether the touch is made in an area of the touch-sensitive display associated with a touch-enabled user interface control; detect a movement of the touch input on the touch-sensitive display from a first location to a second location; display on the touch-sensitive display an animated movement of the first visual response to move the first visual response from the first location to the second location; and if the touch input is made over a touch-interactive area of the display with which the touch-enabled user interface control is associated and if the touch input is detected by an application controlled by the touch-enabled user interface control, then display a second visual response to the touch input comprising a “
captured”
response indicating that the touch input is captured by the touch-enabled user interface control, and display a third visual response to the touch input comprising an “
uncaptured”
response if the touch input is made over the touch-interactive area of the display but is not captured by the touch-enabled user interface control. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)
