Method, apparatus and computer-readable storage means for adjusting at least two parameters
First Claim
1. A method for adjusting at least two parameters, the method comprising:
- providing at least two touch sensitive input elements for adjusting the at least two parameters;
selecting the at least two touch sensitive input elements by contacting the at least two touch sensitive input elements with at least a first part of the human body; and
simultaneously adjusting the at least two parameters, which are assigned to the selected at least two touch sensitive input elements, by using at least a second part of the human body to manipulate at least one input element different from the selected at least two touch sensitive input elements;
wherein at least a part of the at least one input element also has assigned a parameter thereto; and
wherein the parameter assigned to the at least one input element is also adjusted when the at least one input element is manipulated during the simultaneous adjusting of the at least two parameters.

Abstract
The present invention concerns a method, an apparatus and a computer-readable storage means for adjusting at least one parameter, which can be used for enhancing the user experience of adjusting parameters, especially of adjusting parameters in common audio software through a system of assignable rotary encoders with capacitive-sensing knob caps and a parameter type aware software. The invention especially enables a quick adjustment of several parameters by use of rotary encoders.
For this purpose, a method is proposed, where at least two touch sensitive input elements are provided for adjusting the at least two parameters, at least one of the at least two touch sensitive input elements is selected by contacting it with at least a first part of the human body, and the at least one parameter, which is assigned to the contacted touch sensitive input elements, is adjusted by operating, with at least a second part of the human body, at least one input element different from the contacted touch sensitive input elements.

20. A computer-implemented method for adjusting a first parameter and a second parameter, the method comprising:
-
providing a first touch sensitive input element for adjusting the first parameter; providing a second touch sensitive input element for adjusting the second parameter; providing a third touch sensitive input element for adjusting a third parameter; recognizing a first touch gesture made with at least one first part of a human body; selecting the first touch sensitive input element and the second touch sensitive input element based at least in part on the first touch gesture; recognizing a second touch gesture made with at least one second part of the human body, the at least one second part of the human body being different than the at least one first part of the human body; and operating the third touch sensitive input element based in least at part on the second touch gesture to simultaneously adjust the first, second, and third parameters.
