Embodiment Construction

[0038] Various embodiments of the technology of the present invention will now be described, which generally relate to touch interfaces of electronic devices. The touch interface can include any surface. As an example, the countertop can be used as a touch-sensitive interface. In one embodiment, the system determines the touch area of ​​the surface and correlates the touch area with the display of the electronic device to which the input is provided. The system may have a 3D camera that identifies the relative position of the user's hand to the touch area to allow user input. Note that the user's hand does not block the display. The system can present a representation of the user's hand on the display so that the user can interact with the elements on the display.

[0039] Various user input functions are possible, including but not limited to the following. The user can touch the surface (or touch area) to select elements on the display. Users can move their fingers on the ...

Abstract

Touch-sensitive user interface. Systems and methods for providing a touch interface to electronic devices are disclosed. The touch interface can be any surface. As one example, a countertop can be used as a touch-sensitive interface. In one embodiment, the system determines the touch area of ​​the surface and correlates the touch area with the display of the electronic device to which the input is provided. The system may have a 3D camera that identifies the position of the user's hand relative to the touch area to allow user input. Note that the user's hand does not obscure the display. The system can present a representation of the user's hand on the display to enable the user to interact with elements on the display.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a touch sensitive user interface. Background technique [0002] In the past, computing devices used keyboards and mice as input devices. These input devices work well, but require users to learn keyboard operations or learn mouse operations. Again, these input devices are not as intuitive to use as many users want. [0003] Recently, some computer devices have provided touch-sensitive display screens that allow user input. These interfaces are more intuitive than previous interfaces. However, they usually have the problem of the user's hand covering the display screen. Likewise, for portable devices or other devices with displays close to the user, touch-sensitive screens are the most practical. However, some devices, such as desktop computers, have displays that are usually at a distance from the user. It may be impractical for the user to reach out and touch such a display screen to provide user input. Summary of the inventio...
