Patent ID: 8446376

Claim:
A computing device, comprising: a touch-sensitive display; a processor; and memory comprising instructions stored thereon that are executable by the processor to: detect a touch input made via the touch-sensitive display; display on the touch-sensitive display a first visual response to the touch input indicating that the touch input was detected by touch-sensitive display hardware, irrespective of whether the touch is made over a touch-interactive area of the display on which a touch-enabled user interface control is associated; and if the touch input is made over the touch-interactive area of the display with which the touch-enabled user interface control is associated and if the touch input is detected by an application controlled by the touch-enabled user interface control, then to determine if the touch input is captured by the touch-enabled user interface control in the touch-interactive area of the display, display a second visual response to the touch input comprising a “captured” visual response if the touch input is captured by the touch-enabled user interface control, and display a third visual response comprising an “uncaptured” visual response if the touch input is made in the touch-interactive area of the display but not captured by the touch-enabled user interface control.
