Abstract

Apparatus has at least one processor and at least one memory having computer-readable code stored thereon. When executed, the code controls the at least one processor: to cause display of a list or array of objects on a touch screen; to respond to detecting a users digit at a location hovering over but not touching the touch screen by causing display of a first object at a location corresponding to the location of the digit to be changed from an original size to an enlarged size while causing display of other objects to remain substantially or exactly at their original size; and while the first object is displayed at the large size, to respond to detecting a trigger by increasing the size of a target area in which response is made to a touch input by selecting the first object.
