Abstract

A method of showing video on a touch-sensitive display. The method includes showing video on a touch-sensitive display and detecting contact with the video on the touch-sensitive display. The method further includes manipulating a camera that is recording the video based on contact with the video on the touch-sensitive display.

Claims

1. A method of showing video on a touch-sensitive display comprising:

showing video on the touch-sensitive display;

detecting a plurality of contacts with the video on the touch-sensitive display; and

manipulating a camera that is generating the video based on a plurality of contacts with the video on the touch-sensitive display, wherein the plurality of contacts with the video on the touch sensitive display is done at a plurality of locations, the plurality of locations being arranged in a pattern that defines operation of the camera.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein manipulating the camera based on a plurality of contacts with the video on the touch-sensitive display includes manipulating zoom functioning of the camera based on the pattern of the plurality of locations on the video.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein manipulating the camera based on a plurality of contacts with the video on the touch-sensitive display includes manipulating pan angle of the camera based on the pattern of the plurality of locations on the video.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein manipulating the camera based on a plurality of contacts with the video on the touch-sensitive display includes manipulating tilt angle of the camera based on the pattern of the plurality of locations on the video.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein showing video on a touch-sensitive display includes showing video on a window on the touch-sensitive display.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein showing video on a window on the touch-sensitive display includes displaying a thumbnail video.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein showing video on a touch-sensitive display includes showing a plurality of videos on a touch-sensitive display, and wherein manipulating a camera that is generating the video based on a plurality of contacts with the video on the touch-sensitive display includes manipulating a plurality of cameras based on a plurality of contacts with each of the videos on the touch-sensitive display.

8. A method of displaying items on a touch-sensitive display comprising:

showing video on the touch-sensitive display;

showing a menu on the touch-sensitive display that includes at least one camera movement operation;

detecting contact with the menu on the touch-sensitive display to select a particular camera movement operation that is defined by a gesture; and

manipulating the camera that is generating the video based on the gesture being conducted on the video.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein manipulating the camera based on the gesture being conducted on the video includes manipulating zoom functioning of the camera based on the gesture.

10. The method of claim 8, wherein manipulating the camera based on the gesture being conducted on the video includes manipulating pan angle of the camera based on the gesture.

11. The method of claim 8, wherein manipulating the camera based on the gesture being conducted on the video includes manipulating tilt angle of the camera based on the gesture.

12. The method of claim 8, wherein showing video on a touch-sensitive display includes showing video on a window on the touch-sensitive display.

13. The method of claim 12, wherein showing video on a window on the touch-sensitive display includes displaying a thumbnail video.

14. The method of claim 8, wherein showing video on a touch-sensitive display includes showing a plurality videos on a touch-sensitive display, and wherein manipulating a camera that is generating the video based on the gesture conducted on the video on the touch-sensitive display includes manipulating a plurality of cameras based on gestures conducted on each of the videos on the touch-sensitive display.

15. A method of displaying items on a touch-sensitive display comprising:

showing video on a touch-sensitive display;

detecting contact with the video on the touch-sensitive display; and

manipulating a camera that is generating the video based on selection of an area on the video by making gestures on the video.

16. The method of claim 15, wherein manipulating the camera based on selection of an area on the video includes manipulating zoom functioning of the camera based on the gestures.

17. The method of claim 15, wherein manipulating the camera based on selection of an area on the video includes manipulating a pan angle of the camera based on the gestures.

18. The method of claim 15, wherein manipulating the camera based on selection of an area on the video includes manipulating a tilt angle of the camera based on the gestures.

19. The method of claim 15, wherein showing video on a touch-sensitive display includes showing video on a window on the touch-sensitive display.

20. The method of claim 19, wherein showing video on a window on the touch-sensitive display includes displaying a thumbnail video.
