  • PROVIDING A CONTEXT-AWARE HELP CONTENT USING A TRANSPARENT OVERLAY ON A TOUCH SENSITIVE SCREEN
    Publication number: 20110271185
    Abstract: Objects shown on a display interface can be collected for a running application. Identifications (IDs) representing the objects can also be collected. A determination can be made concerning whether there are object identifications of objects with help contents associated. A transparent layer can be displayed on the display interface. All the objects associated with help contents of the layer can be visually indicated in the transparent layer. The visual indicators can indicate that help is available for a corresponding object. When no help is available, no visual indicator is shown in the transparent layer proximate to corresponding object.
