1. A media control apparatus, comprising:
- a touch sensitive actuation sensing area sensitive to user actuation by touching the actuation sensing area at one of a plurality of positions along a length of the actuation sensing area, and including a position signal output, logic responsive to the position signal output of the actuation sensing area, wherein the logic is operative to translate user actuation at a first user-selected one of the positions into a translated event for use by an application to access a first one of a plurality of media recording elements that corresponds to the first position based on an association between the plurality of positions and the plurality of media recording elements, and to translate user actuation at a second user-selected one of the positions into a translated event for use by an application to access a second one of the plurality of media recording elements that corresponds to the second position based on the same association between the plurality of positions and the plurality of media recording elements.

Abstract
A media control apparatus that is sensitive to touch along a length of an actuation sensing area. User actuation at different positions is translated into events for use by an application to access different media recording elements, based on an association between the positions and the media recording elements.

16. A media control apparatus, comprising:
-
a touch sensitive actuation sensing area sensitive to user actuation by touching the actuation sensing area at one of a plurality of positions along a length of the actuation sensing area, and including a position signal output, logic responsive to the position signal output of the actuation sensing area to translate user actuation at user-selected ones of the positions into translated events for use by an application to access ones of a plurality of media recording elements ordered according to a time sequence such that the accessed media recording elements correspond to the user-selected ones of the positions, a linear display area mounted in parallel with the actuation sensing area, and logic responsive to the position signal output of the actuation sensing area and for displaying in the linear display area a cursor corresponding to the user-selected ones of the plurality of positions. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)

25. A media control panel, comprising:
-
means for sensing user actuation by touching the actuation sensing area at one of a plurality of positions along a sensing area, means responsive to the means for sensing to translate user actuation at user-selected ones of the positions into translated events for use by an application to access ones of a plurality of media recording elements ordered according to a time sequence such that the accessed media recording elements correspond to the user-selected ones of the positions, linear means for displaying mounted in parallel with the means for sensing, and means responsive to the means for sensing and for displaying in the linear means a cursor corresponding to the one of the plurality of positions. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
