Embodiment Construction

[0023] A detailed description of examples of the present invention will be provided below, and the following content does not limit the present invention itself. Rather, any number of variations may fall within the scope of the invention as defined by the claims following the description.

[0024] Figure 1A is a diagram showing the user configuring the initial time settings using a stylus device. Users wish to set the time of day on an electronic device that includes a display capable of interpreting stylus commands. As will be understood by those skilled in the art, a stylus may be a pointing device, such as a pencil, rigid object, or finger, that enables selection of a location on the display. For example, a user may set the time of day on his personal digital assistant (PDA) that includes a touch-sensitive display.

[0025] The user first touches the display with his stylus at the stylus start position 100 located outside the circumference of the dial 120 . The user sel...

Abstract

A system and method for configuring time related settings using a graphical interface is presented. A user is able to configure a time-of-day and select a time zone on an electronic device using a maximum of two stylus movements. The user contacts a display with the stylus and makes an hour stroke and minute stroke in one motion, without lifting the stylus from the display. The user may adjust a time value by moving the stylus in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction. When the user is satisfied with a time value, the user removes the stylus from the display. If the user wishes to toggle an AM / PM indicator, the user performs a toggle stroke to instruct processing to change the AM / PM indicator. Processing also identifies a time zone corresponding to a radix point which is created during the hour stroke and minute stroke generation.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to systems and methods for entering data using a stylus. More particularly, the present invention relates to systems and methods for configuring time-related information of an electronic device using a stylus. Background technique [0002] Computer systems, including desktop personal computers and personal digital assistants (PDAs), typically have an interface that allows a user to enter time-related information, such as time of day and time zone. As part of the time setting configuration process, the user is typically asked to enter a time zone, home city, and time setting. Computer systems can use time settings to control system operations such as backups, time stamping file updates, and time stamping e-mail. [0003] Functionality is added to a computer system to improve its "user-friendliness". One user-friendly feature commonly found on PDAs is the touch-sensitive screen. PDA users use a stylus to select...
