US Patent:

20170177196, Jun 22, 2017

Filed:

Feb 21, 2017

Appl. No.:

15/437687

Inventors:

- San Jose CA, US
Nathan Carl Ross - Highland UT, US

International Classification:

G06F 3/0484
G06F 3/0481

Abstract:

In some embodiments, a processor accesses electronic content that includes multiple selectable objects that are renderable in a graphical interface. The processor generates multiple selection areas respectively associated with the selectable objects. An input to the graphical interface received within each selection area selects an associated selectable object. Generating the selection areas includes generating a boundary around at least one of the selectable objects. Any point within the boundary is closer to the associated selectable object than any other selectable object. Generating the selection areas also includes clipping the boundary to define the selection area for the selectable object. The processor adds the selection areas to a document object model associated with the electronic content. The document object model is usable for rendering the graphical interface with the selectable objects and identifying the selection areas.
