METHOD FOR CONTROLLING VALUE OF PARAMETER
First Claim
1. A method for controlling a value of a parameter of an application executed on a device comprising a touch-sensitive input apparatus with a touch-sensitive areathe method comprising the steps of:
- defining a region map specifying a plurality of parameter control regions within the touch-sensitive area, each parameter control region having assigned a parameter change direction;
receiving from the touch-sensitive input apparatus a touch start event specifying a touch starting position within the touch-sensitive area;
monitoring the touch-sensitive input apparatus to receive a touch position change or a touch end event;
upon detection of a touch position change, setting a parameter change value according to the position change direction;
upon detection of a touch end event before detection of a touch position change, setting a parameter change value according to the parameter change direction specified for the parameter control region to which the touch starting position belongs; and
providing the parameter change value to the application.

Abstract
A method for controlling a value of a parameter of an application executed on a device comprising a touch-sensitive input apparatus with a touch-sensitive area comprises the steps of defining a region map specifying within the touch-sensitive area a plurality of parameter control regions that have assigned a parameter change direction, receiving from the touch-sensitive input apparatus a touch start event specifying a touch starting position within the touch-sensitive area, monitoring the touch-sensitive input apparatus to receive a touch position change or a touch end event, upon detection of a touch position change setting a parameter change value according to the position change direction, upon detection of a touch end event before detection of a touch position change setting a parameter change value according to the parameter change direction specified for the parameter control region to which the touch starting position belongs and providing the parameter change value to the application.

7. A system for controlling a parameter of an application (107) executed on a device comprising a touch-sensitive input apparatus (100) with a touch-sensitive area, the system comprising:
-
a region map (105) specifying a plurality of parameter control regions (101a-101d) within the touch-sensitive area, each parameter control region (101a-101d) having assigned a parameter change direction; and a parameter controller (104) configured to receive from the touch-sensitive input apparatus a touch start event specifying a touch starting position, monitor the touch-sensitive input apparatus to receive a touch position change or a touch end event, upon detection of a touch position change, select a parameter change value according to the position change direction, upon detection of a touch end event before detection of a touch position change, select a parameter change value according to the parameter change direction specified for the parameter control region to which the touch starting position belongs, and provide the parameter change value to the application (107). - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10)
