Abstract:
1. A computer readable storage medium storing computer readable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause a processor to perform a method for modifying a user interface displayed on a touch-sensitive display screen, the method comprising the steps of: receiving user input via the touch-sensitive display screen; identifying at least one application associated with the user interface; identifying all interactive elements of the at least one identified application located in an area of the user interface, wherein the area is based on a location of the touch sensitive display screen where the user input was received, and the area is selectable from any portion of the user interface; and displaying, without moving unidentified interactive elements, the identified interactive elements with varying levels of magnification depending on their location in the area, wherein: at least one level of magnification is adjusted depending on the number of identified interactive elements; and displaying the identified interactive elements with varying levels of magnification depending on their location in the area comprises narrowing the area to reduce the number of identified interactive elements and displaying the identified interactive elements in the narrowed area with greater magnification than the identified interactive elements outside the narrowed area.
