Devices, Methods, and User Interfaces for Interacting with User Interface Objects via Proximity-based Inputs - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18587740 titled 'Devices, Methods, and User Interfaces for Interacting with User Interface Objects via Proximity-based Inputs
Simplified Explanation
An electronic device with a display and sensors detects the location of an input object and displays a user interface object. It can detect when the input object hovers near the user interface object and performs operations based on the movement of the input object.
Key Features and Innovation
- Electronic device with display and sensors
- Detection of input object location
- Display of user interface object
- Detection of input object hover proximity
- Performance of operations based on input object movement
Potential Applications
This technology can be used in interactive displays, touchless interfaces, and gesture-controlled devices.

Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device with a display and sensor(s) to detect location of an input object displays a first user interface object. The device detects an input object at a first hover location that meets first hover proximity criteria with respect to the first user interface object. After detecting the input object at the first hover location, the device detects movement of the input object away from the first hover location. In response to detecting movement of the input object away from the first hover location: in accordance with a determination that the input object meets first augmented hover proximity criteria, the device performs a first operation associated with the movement of the input object; and in accordance with a determination that the input object does not meet the first augmented hover proximity criteria, the device forgoes performing the first operation.
