SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR A TOUCHSCREEN SLIDER WITH TOGGLE CONTROL
First Claim
1. A method of controlling a slider, the method comprising:
- displaying, on a touch-sensitive display, the slider as part of an audio application, wherein the slider toggles between a first position in which audio playback is not sustained and a second position in which audio playback is sustained;
in response to a first user gesture associated with the slider, toggling and locking the slider; and
in response to a second continuous gesture associated with the slider, toggling the slider temporarily for a duration of the second continuous gesture.

Abstract
Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for controlling a slider on a touch-screen. A system practicing the method displays, on a touch-sensitive display, the slider as part of an audio application, wherein the slider toggles between a first position in which audio playback is not sustained and a second position in which audio playback is sustained. The system toggles and locks the slider in response to a first user gesture associated with the slider, such as a swipe or a tap. The system toggles the slider temporarily in response to a second continuous gesture associated with the slider, such as a tap and hold gesture, for a duration of the second continuous gesture. The first gesture can be a tap and the second gesture can be a tap-and-hold with a single or multiple points of contact.

11. A system for controlling a virtual toggle switch, the system comprising:
-
a processor; a touch-sensitive display; a first module configured to control the processor to output, via the touch-sensitive display, the virtual toggle switch, wherein the virtual toggle switch toggles between a first position which triggers a first functionality and a second position which triggers a second functionality; a second module configured to control the processor to toggle and lock the virtual toggle switch in one of the first position and the second position in response to a first user gesture associated with the virtual toggle switch; and a third module configured to control the processor to toggle the virtual toggle switch temporarily for a duration of the second continuous gesture in one of the first position and the second position in response to a second continuous gesture over the virtual toggle switch. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions which, when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to provide a virtual sustain pedal as part of an audio application, the instructions comprising:
-
displaying, on a touch-sensitive display, the virtual sustain pedal, wherein the virtual sustain pedal toggles between a first position in which audio playback is not sustained and a second position in which audio playback is sustained; in response to a first user gesture associated with the virtual sustain pedal, toggling and locking the virtual sustain pedal; and in response to a second continuous gesture associated with the virtual sustain pedal, toggling the virtual sustain pedal temporarily for a duration of the second continuous gesture. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)

20. An audio playback device comprising:
-
a processor; a touch-sensitive display; a speaker; a storage medium storing an audio application, wherein the audio application comprises instructions for controlling the processor to perform steps comprising; displaying, on the touch-sensitive display, a slider that toggles between a first position in which audio playback via the speaker is not sustained and a second position in which audio playback via the speaker is sustained; in response to a first user gesture received via the touch-sensitive display and associated with the slider, toggling and locking the slider; and in response to a second continuous gesture received via the touch-sensitive display and associated with the slider, toggling the slider temporarily for a duration of the second continuous gesture. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22)
