SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GESTURAL INTERACTION WITH USER INTERFACE OBJECTS
First Claim
1. A method of processing a plurality of inputs received from a directional input device, wherein each of the plurality of inputs corresponds to a directional instruction provided by a user, the method comprising:
- receiving a first one of the plurality of inputs from the directional input device, wherein the first input corresponds to a first directional instruction in a first direction;
identifying an object based upon the first input;
receiving a second one of the plurality of inputs from the directional input device, wherein the second input corresponds to a second directional instruction from the user in a second direction that is different from the first direction; and
in response to the second one of the plurality of inputs, invoking a function associated with the identified object.

Abstract
Systems and methods produce imagery on a display in response inputs received from a directional input device, wherein the inputs correspond to directional instructions provided by a user. A first input corresponding to a first directional instruction in a first direction is received from the directional input device, and an object is identified based upon the first input. A second input corresponding to a second directional instruction from the user in a second direction different from the first direction is identified from the directional input device, and a function associated with the identified object is invoked in response to the second input.

14. A system for producing imagery on a display in response to a plurality of inputs received from a directional input device, wherein each of the plurality of inputs corresponds to a directional instruction provided by a user, the system comprising computer-executable instructions stored on a digital storage medium, wherein the computer-executable instructions comprise:
-
first logic configured to receive a first one of the plurality of inputs from the directional input device, wherein the first input corresponds to a first directional instruction in a first direction; second logic configured to identify an object based upon the first input; third logic configured to identify a second one of the plurality of inputs from the directional input device, wherein the second input corresponds to a second directional instruction from the user in a second direction that is different from the first direction; and fourth logic configured to invoke a function associated with the identified object in response to the second one of the plurality of inputs.

15. A device configured to present a plurality of objects to a user, the device comprising:
-
a display configured to present the objects to the user; a directional input device configured to provide input signals in response to directional inputs received from the user, wherein the directional inputs are received in a first direction and in a second direction different from the first dimension; and a processor configured to receive the input signals from the directional input device and to provide video signals to the display to generate the imagery, wherein the controller is further configured to identify one of the plurality of objects in response to directional inputs received in the first direction and to invoke a function related to the identified object in response to directional inputs received in the second direction. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
