Claim Text:
1. A method comprising: detecting via a processor a position of a finger positioned proximate a touch screen of a hand held device, the touch screen having a target available for selection via the finger; detecting via the processor a grip of the hand held device, and wherein a selection range is associated with the grip; comparing the detected position of the finger to the selection range via the processor of the hand held device; and moving a target on the touch screen via the processor of the hand held device responsive to the comparison such that the target is easily selectable without changing the grip, wherein moving the target on the touch screen comprises: recognizing that a finger is extending beyond the selection range based on the comparison; identifying potential targets outside the selection range in a direction extending from a center of the selection range towards the detected position of the finger; and moving a most likely target from the identified potential targets from outside the selection range to inside the selection range along the direction used to identify potential targets, wherein the most likely target is a target most often selected from the identified potential targets.
