Abstract
Apparatus has at least one processor and memory having computer-readable when executed, in a normal mode, to cause display of plural discrete items on a touch screen, and in response to detecting a user's digit at a location hovering over but not touching the screen while plural discrete items are being displayed, to enter a zoom-pan mode and cause zooming of displayed plural discrete items and to respond to detection of movement of the user's digit to a different hover location over the screen by causing panning of plural discrete items displayed on the screen, and to respond to detection of a touch input by entering a pointing mode to prevent panning of the displayed plural discrete items with movement of location of the touch input within predefined criteria, and to cause movement of a cursor, pointer or marker as location of the touch input changes.
