Embodiment Construction

[0017] While the invention allows for embodiments in various forms, presently preferred embodiments are shown in the drawings and will be described hereinafter, and it should be understood that this disclosure is to be considered as exemplary of the invention and is not intended to be an illustration of the invention. The invention is limited to the specific embodiments illustrated.

[0018] figure 1 and 2 Front and side plan views of an exemplary handheld device 100 are shown having a touch-sensitive user interface 102 on a surface 104 of the device opposite the surface 106 of the device including a display 108 . The touch-sensitive user interface 102 includes a touch-sensitive array with position sensors adapted to detect the relative position of a corresponding pointer device with respect to the touch-sensitive user interface 102 .

[0019] The pointer means may comprise a user's finger or stylus, or any other suitable generally elongate element for identifying a particul...

Abstract

A hand-held device and method for operating a single pointer touch sensitive user interface of a hand-held electronic device are provided. The method includes defining as being active a first one of a set of two or more controllable interface functions including at least a first controllable interface function and a second controllable interface function. A control gesture is then detected and the control gesture is associated with the active one of the set of two or more controllable interface functions, where the detected pattern adjusts the performance of the active controllable interface function. A transition gesture is then detected including a pointer pattern movement, which is not included as a control gesture for any of the two or more controllable interface functions, where upon detection of the transition gesture, the transition gesture defines a second one of the set of two or more controllable interface functions as being the active one of the set of two or more controllable interface functions. A further control gesture is then detected and the control gesture is associated with the active one of the set of two or more controllable interface functions, where the detected pattern adjusts the performance of the active controllable interface function.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to an apparatus and method for providing user input to a handheld device, and more particularly, to a method for switching between a plurality of controllable interface functions incorporating a transition gesture single-pointer touch-sensitive user interface. Background technique [0002] Devices are incorporating more and more types of functionality, each with a different type of control. Similarly, touch-sensitive input panels are more widely implemented to support user interaction with many types of handheld devices associated with at least some of the various types of functionality incorporated. To maximize screen size while limiting the overall size of the device, many of these devices include a touch-sensitive panel in combination with a display, wherein visual cues and feedback are used to support user interaction with the touch panel, and / or the user interacts with the touch panel. Interact with elemen...
