Touch Interaction with a Curved Display
First Claim
1. A method that is implemented by a device for touch interaction with a curved display, the method comprising acts of:
- monitoring a curved display to detect a touch input;
if a touch input is detected based on the act of monitoring,determining one or more locations of the touch input; and
implementing at least one user interface (UI) feature responsive to the determined one or more locations of the touch input using a rotation that is associated with an axis and an angle, the rotation representing an arc over the curved display.

Abstract
Touch interaction with a curved display (e.g., a sphere, a hemisphere, a cylinder, etc.) is enabled through various user interface (UI) features. In an example embodiment, a curved display is monitored to detect a touch input. If a touch input is detected based on the act of monitoring, then one or more locations of the touch input are determined. Responsive to the determined one or more locations of the touch input, at least one user UI feature is implemented. Example UI features include an orb-like invocation gesture feature, a rotation-based dragging feature, a send-to-dark-side interaction feature, and an object representation and manipulation by proxy representation feature.

7. One or more processor-accessible tangible media comprising processor-executable instructions for enabling touch interaction with a curved display, wherein the processor-executable instructions, when executed, direct a device to perform acts comprising:
-
monitoring a curved display to detect a touch input; if a touch input is detected based on the act of monitoring, determining one or more locations of the touch input; and implementing at least one user interface (UI) feature responsive to the determined one or more locations of the touch input. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11)
