Patent 11385789 was granted and assigned to Facebook on July, 2022 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Disclosed herein includes a system, a method, and a device for interacting with displayed items. A contact point can be established with a surface of a contact panel and the contact panel can be operated in a navigation mode during which a selection element, for selecting one or more items of a user interface (UI) in a display of a second device, is maintained at a determined location in the display. The UI can be moved in the display relative to the selection element as the selection element is maintained at the determined location, by moving the contact point on the surface of the contact panel in the navigation mode. At least one item of the UI that is moved within a selection threshold of the selection element can be selected by removing the contact point with the contact panel.
