Abstract

A computing device that includes a display configured to display a first video and a touch strip configured to receive user input. The computing device further includes a processor and a memory storing instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to determine that the user input comprises a drag input defined by sliding at least one finger along the touch strip, and, in response to the drag input, cause a second video to be displayed on the display.

Claims

1. A computing device, comprising:

a display configured to display a first video;

a touch strip configured to receive user input;

a processor; and

a memory storing instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to;

determine that the user input comprises a drag input defined by sliding at least one finger along the touch strip, and

in response to the drag input, cause a second video to be displayed on the display.

2. The computing device of claim 1, wherein the computing device comprises a digital video camera.

3. The computing device of claim 1, wherein the first video and the second video are displayed in a full screen mode on the display.

4. The computing device of claim 1, wherein the display comprises a touch screen configured to receive user input via the touch screen.

5. The computing device of claim 4, wherein the touch screen comprises a resistive touch screen, and the touch strip comprises a capacitive touch strip.

6. The computing device of claim 1, wherein the touch strip comprises at least one of a linear touch strip or a curved touch strip.

7. The computing device of claim 1, wherein the drag input comprises left-to-right drag motion along the touch strip, the first video comprises a current video included in a folder, and the second video comprises a previous video included in the folder.

8. The computing device of claim 1, wherein the drag input comprises right-to-left drag motion along the touch strip, the first video comprises a current video included in a folder, and the second video comprises a next video included in the folder.

9. The computing device of claim 1, wherein the touch strip is included in a base portion of the computing device, and the touch screen is included in a cover portion of the computing device.

10. The computing device of claim 9, wherein the touch strip is hidden when the cover portion is parallel to the base portion.

11. The computing device of claim 9, wherein the touch strip is exposed when the cover portion is placed in an upright position and is not parallel to the base portion.

16. The method of claim 1, wherein the display comprises a touch screen configured to receive user input via the touch screen.

12. A method, comprising:

causing a first video to be displayed on a display associated with a computing device that includes a touch strip;

receiving user input via a touch strip;

determining that the user input comprises a drag input defined by sliding at least one finger along the touch strip; and

in response to the drag input, causing a second video to be displayed on the display.

13. The method of claim 12, wherein the first video and the second video are displayed on the display in full screen mode.

14. The method of claim 12, wherein the second video is displayed on the display in a paused state.

15. The method of claim 12, wherein causing the second video to be displayed comprises returning to a navigation mode and causing a representation of the second video to be displayed on the display within the navigation mode.

17. A computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to manipulate one or more files, by performing the steps of:

causing a first video to be displayed on a display associated with a computing device that includes a touch strip;

receiving user input via a touch strip;

determining that the user input comprises a drag input defined by sliding at least one finger along the touch strip; and

in response to the drag input, causing a second video to be displayed on the display.

18. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 17, wherein the first video and the second video are displayed on the display in full screen mode.

19. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 17, wherein the second video is displayed on the display in a paused state.

20. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 17, wherein causing the second video to be displayed comprises returning to a navigation mode and causing a representation of the second video to be displayed on the display within the navigation mode.
