First Claim
Patent Images
1. An interface controlling system, the system comprising:
- an information receiver to receive, from at least one force sensor, at least one lateral force input information relative to a contact surface of the system and associated with at least one input force;
an information analyzer to generate content control information by analyzing the lateral force input information; and
a content controller to control content, for provision to a user, based on the content control information.

42. An interface controlling system, comprising:
-
a contact unit having flexibility to receive lateral force input information relative to a contact surface of the contact unit; a sensing unit disposed along one lateral surface of the contact unit, and provided with at least one force sensor to measure the lateral force input information received from the contact unit; and a content controller to generate content control information by analyzing a direction of the measured lateral force input information, and to control content based on the content control information. - View Dependent Claims (43, 44)
