MULTI-TOUCH INSPECTION TOOL
First Claim
1. A system for providing a multi-touch inspection tool, the system comprising:
- a multi-touch display; and
processing circuitry coupled to the multi-touch display, the processing circuitry configured to;
display an inspection tool for a chart on a user interface on the multi-touch display, the inspection tool comprising a multiplier-scale control and a precision control;
determine a base level of scaling to apply to the chart based on a current value of the multiplier-scale control, the multiplier-scale control defining steps between multiplier-scaling values;
detect a touch-based input on the precision control for a precision adjustment of the chart, the precision adjustment based on linear steps dynamically defined with respect to the base level of scaling; and
adjust the chart in response to the touch-based input on the precision control as a combination of the base level of scaling determined by the multiplier-scale control and the precision adjustment of the precision control.

Abstract
One aspect of the invention is a system for providing a multi-touch inspection tool. The system includes a multi-touch display and processing circuitry configured to display an inspection tool for a chart on a user interface on the multi-touch display. The inspection tool includes a multiplier-scale control and a precision control. The processing circuitry is also configured to determine a base level of scaling to apply to the chart based on a current value of the multiplier-scale control and detect a touch-based input on the precision control for a precision adjustment of the chart. The precision adjustment is based on linear steps dynamically defined with respect to the base level of scaling. The chart is adjusted in response to the touch-based input on the precision control as a combination of the base level of scaling determined by the multiplier-scale control and the precision adjustment of the precision control.
