User interface selection through intercept points
Abstract:
Approaches presented herein provide for user interface selection through an intercept point defined by a touch sensitive bezel. More specifically, a touch sensitive bezel, in a device having a display at least partially surrounded by the touch sensitive bezel, senses a horizontal position and a vertical position on the display from two locations on the bezel touched by a user. An intersection on the display where the horizontal position and the vertical position cross is determined and can be marked on the display. A user may slide his/her fingers along the touch sensitive bezel to move the intersection around the display. A user may perform an additional action to confirm a selection of an item located at the intersection. The touch sensitive bezel can also be used to control interface selection on a display of a second device by mapping the horizontal and vertical positions to the second device display.
