Abstract:
Example apparatus and methods concern establishing, managing, or dis-establishing a primary hover-point for a hover-sensitive input/output interface. One example apparatus includes a proximity detector that detects an object in a hover-space associated with the input/output interface. The apparatus produces characterization data concerning the object. The characterization data may identify where the object is located, how the object is moving, what the object is doing, or other attributes of the object. The apparatus may assign a hover point designation to the object as a function of the characterization data. The apparatus selectively controls input actions associated with the object based on the hover point designation. The apparatus may accept input actions associated with a primary hover point and ignore actions associated with a non-primary hover point.

Claim (Index 16):
An apparatus, comprising:\n a hover-sensitive input/output interface; a proximity detector configured to detect an object in a hover-space associated with the hover-sensitive input/output interface; a first logic configured to produce characterization data concerning the object, where the characterization data describes when the object entered the hover-space, where the object entered the hover-space, where the object is located in the hover-space, a direction of travel of the object, a velocity of travel of the object, a gesture performed by the object, an orientation of the object, a size of the object, an amount of time the object has been located in the hover-space, an activity level of the object, or an identifying mark associated with the object; and a second logic configured to establish and maintain a relationship between the object and a primary hover point for the input/output interface based, at least in part, on the characterization data, where the relationship controls how the input/output interface will interpret actions performed in the hover-space by the object.
