Abstract
A touch interface includes a display screen and detects an approach and a position of a user's finger with respect to the screen. The interface displays at least one first graphical element associated with a first touch selection zone and lying in a first region and at least one second graphical element superimposed on a second touch selection zone, and lying in a second region distinct from the first region. The interface estimates a trajectory of a point of the finger and a point of impact of the trajectory on the screen. The interface displaces, when the point of impact is detected in one of the regions, the graphical element of the region and the associated touch selection zone in the direction of the point of impact, and then, when the point of impact exits the region, restore the display of the graphical element to an initial state.
