Output Control Using Gesture Input
First Claim
1. An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor; and
at least one memory storing computer program instructions configured, working with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to perform;
detecting user input;
selecting, in dependence upon the detected user input, at least a portion of an output of a user output device;
determining, while the at least a portion of the output of the user output device is selected, whether a user makes a gesture input by moving the apparatus; and
altering, in response to determining that the gesture input has been made by the user, the selected at least a portion of the output of the user output device.

24. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a computer program comprising computer program instructions configured, when working with at least one processor, to cause an apparatus at least to perform:
-
detecting user input; selecting, in dependence upon the detected user input, at least a portion of an output of a user output device; determining, while the at least a portion of the output of the user output device is selected, whether a user makes a gesture input by moving the apparatus; and altering, in response to determining that the gesture input has been made by the user, the selected at least a portion of the output of the user output device.
