TOUCH INPUT TO MODULATE CHANGEABLE PARAMETER
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computing system, comprising:
- a touch display;
a gesture library including a shared modulate gesture and a plurality of different mode gestures, each mode gesture associated with a changeable parameter of the computing system, and the shared modulate gesture linkable with each mode gesture to indicate an amount to change the changeable parameter associated with that mode gesture;
a touch-detection module to track a touch input directed to the touch display, the touch input beginning with a source engaging the touch display and continuing until the source disengages the touch display;
a gesture-recognition module to select a selected mode gesture from the plurality of different mode gestures based on an initial portion of the touch input and to select the shared modulate gesture based on a subsequent portion of the touch input linked to the initial portion of the touch input; and
a control module to change the changeable parameter associated with the selected mode gesture by an amount indicated by the shared modulate gesture.

Abstract
A computing system includes a touch-input receptor and a touch-detection module. The touch-detection module is configured to track a touch input directed to the touch-input receptor. The computing system also includes a control module to change a parameter of the computing system indicated by an initial portion of the touch input tracked by the touch-detection module. The control module is configured to change the parameter by an amount indicated by a subsequent portion of the touch input tracked by the touch-detection module.

12. A computing system, comprising:
-
a touch-input receptor; a touch-detection module to track a touch input directed to the touch-input receptor; and a control module to change a parameter of the computing system indicated by an initial portion of the touch input by an amount indicated by a subsequent looping portion of the touch input.

13. A method of interpreting touch input in a computing system, the method comprising:
-
tracking a touch input directed to a touch-input receptor, the touch input beginning with a source engaging the touch-input receptor and continuing until the source disengages the touch-input receptor; recognizing an initial portion of the touch input as a mode gesture, the mode gesture being one of a plurality of different mode gestures; recognizing a subsequent looping portion of the touch input that is linked to the initial portion of the touch input as a shared modulate gesture; adjusting a parameter of the computing system corresponding to the mode gesture by an amount indicated by the shared modulate gesture. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
