The September 30, 2005 filing (published today) is titled "Proximity detector in handheld device." It describes a touch-screen interface for portable electronics devices that can sense when an object, such as a person's finger, is approaching. When an object is sensed, the touch-screen interface may perform an action such as displaying a "virtual scroll wheel," navigation pad or virtual keypad.
Alternatively, the touch-screen interface described in the filing could be adapted to work with Apple's current iPod menu interface, allowing users to employ a stylus or their finger to navigate through and select menu items on an iPod's display screen.
