Abstract
A user interface of a device is operated, wherein the user interface comprises a touch sensitive display device. Operation includes, while operating the device in a limited accessibility mode, detecting that an initial gesture has been received by the touch sensitive display device. When entering a fully accessible mode of operation, the user interface is operated in a scaled mode if the detected initial gesture is a first mode changing gesture, otherwise the user interface is operated in a full-size mode. When an application or system software produces an output image to be displayed on the device, operating the user interface in the full-size mode comprises displaying the output image over a first area of the touch sensitive display device; and accepting touch input of the application or system software at a set of input touch points lying within the first area of the touch sensitive display device. Operating the user interface in the scaled mode comprises scaling the output image and displaying the scaled output image over a scaled area of the touch sensitive display device, wherein the scaled area is smaller than the first area; and scaling the set of input touch points such that the scaled set of input touch points lie within the scaled area of the touch sensitive display device, wherein a size of the scaled area of the touch sensitive display is related to a first set of one or more detected points within the first mode changing gesture; and a location of the scaled area of the touch sensitive display is related to a second set of one or more detected points within the first mode changing gesture.
