Problems solved by technology

[0010] However, difficulties may arise when a user is viewing a graphical display and manipulating an unfamiliar user interface in parallel, especially if the user does not directly observe the user interface input area
Learning how to operate a rusty user interface is often perceived as inconvenient, inefficient, and / or unintuitive, especially when the user is performing a task that does not allow the user to see the input area

Abstract

The systems and methods described herein may help to provide for more convenient, efficient, and / or intuitive operation of a user- interface. An example computer- implemented method may involve: (i) providing a user-interface comprising an input region; (ii) receiving data indicating a touch input at the user-interface; (iii) determining an active-input-region setting based on (a) the touch input and (b) an active-input-region parameter; and (iv) defining an active input region on the user-interface based on at least the determined active- input-region setting, wherein the active input region is a portion of the input region.
