Abstract: A method is disclosed for operating a mobile device. The method is performed by one or more processors of the mobile device. The one or more processors process image input on the mobile device in order to detect one or more graphic objects displayed on a remote display device and to detect one or more fingers of a user in relation to the one or more graphic objects. From processing the image input, a command for the remote display device is determined based on a position or movement of the one or more fingers in relation to the one or more graphic objects. The command is communicated to the remote display device.

Abstract: Example embodiments relate to the provision of keyboard shortcuts that are mapped to a physical keyboard. In example embodiments, a user interface including a plurality of selectable UI elements is outputted. A plurality of keyboard shortcuts may then be outputted, such that each keyboard shortcut corresponds to a key on a physical keyboard and the shortcuts are spatially arranged in a layout corresponding to a layout of the keyboard. A selection of a particular key may then be received and, in response, the UI element positioned at the location of the keyboard shortcut corresponding to the selected key may be activated.

Abstract: Example embodiments relate to a keyboard-based system that enables a user to provide touch input via the keyboard with one hand and typed input via the keyboard with the other hand. In example embodiments, a sensor detects the user's hands on the top surface of the keyboard. In response, a computing device identifies a first hand and a second hand by analyzing information provided by the sensor. The computing device then assigns the first hand to a touch mode and the second hand to a typing mode. The user may then provide touch input using a visualization of the first hand overlaid on a user interface, while providing typed input with the second hand via the keyboard.

Abstract: Example embodiments relate to adjustment of a virtual keyboard based on an offset of user input.
