Claim Text:
1. An apparatus comprising: a processor; memory operatively coupled to the processor; a planar touchscreen display operatively coupled to the processor; sensor circuitry that comprises an accelerometer that senses a spatial phenomenon for determining displacement of the planar touchscreen display along an axis normal to the planar touchscreen display and rotational orientation of the planar touchscreen display about the axis and a detector that senses a spatial phenomenon for determining distance along the axis between the planar touchscreen display and an object; zoom circuitry that automatically zooms information presented on the planar touchscreen display responsive to a change in displacement of the planar touchscreen display along the axis sensed by the accelerometer based at least in part on a determined distance between the planar touchscreen display and the object, and based at least in part on information type; regulation circuitry that disables zoom of the information by the zoom circuitry based at least in part on a comparison of a determined distance between the planar touchscreen display and the object sensed by the detector to a zoom disable distance.
