Adjusting Content To Avoid Occlusion By A Virtual Input Panel

Abstract: The display of a content area is automatically adjusted such that the display of a virtual input panel (e.g. virtual keyboard gesture area handwriting area ) does not occlude content with which the user is interacting. After adjusting the display of the content area the content being interacted with is visible within the content area. The content area is automatically adjusted such that it remains visible during the interaction. In some situations a content area may also be temporarily resized while the virtual input panel is displayed. When a zoom scale is set to automatically change in response to a change to the content area the zoom scale may be set to a fixed percentage. When the virtual input panel is dismissed the content area may bereturned to its original configuration before the virtual input panel was displayed.
