Abstract

Method and system are provided for compensating for user hand tremors when using a hand-held electronic device having a user interface display. The method includes monitoring position data of a user's finger in relation to the user interface display over time as the finger approaches an element in the user interface display. A target element is determined by predicting an intended movement of the user's finger and the method dynamically enlarges the determined target element in the user interface display as the user's finger approaches the user interface display.
