MULTICHANNEL CONTROLLER
First Claim
1. A user interface on a computing device for controlling a pan/tilt device, the user interface comprising:
- a control mode selector that receives a user input that is a selection of one of a plurality of different user interface mechanisms for selecting a direction of movement of the pan/tilt device; and
a functionality limitation setting mechanism that receives a user input that is a selection of a functionality limitation that is applied to the selected direction of movement so as to limit the functionally the way in which the pan/tilt device is to be moved in the selected direction of movement, wherein a user indicates a speed sensitivity that applies to the indicated direction of movement of the pan/tilt device.

Abstract
Multichannel device controllers are disclosed. In one embodiment, a multichannel device controller includes a plurality of user selectable control modes for controlling a multichannel device and a plurality of user configurable settings for adjusting parameters associated with the plurality of user selectable control modes. A touchscreen displays a user interface corresponding to a selected one of plurality of user selectable control modes and receives user input indicative of a command to send to the multichannel device. A processor generates the command to send to the multichannel device based at least in part on the user input and the plurality of user configurable settings.

12. A controller with a touchscreen interface for a pan/tilt device, the controller comprising:
-
a user input mechanism configured to receive a user selection of a control mode, wherein the user input mechanism comprises the user selection of the control mode from a plurality of images of control modes compatible with the controller; a signal generator configured to receive an input from the user, using the selected control mode, wherein the input indicates a direction and speed of movement for the pan/tilt device; and a processor that is configured to transmit the control signal to a motor of the pan/tilt device. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19, 20)

18. A method for controlling a pan/tilt device, the method comprising:
-
selecting a control mode, wherein selecting a control mode comprises selecting an image of a control mode from a series of images of control modes; receiving a user input indicative of a direction and a speed of movement for a pan/tilt device; translating the received user input into a control signal; and transmitting the control signal to the pan/tilt device.
