Abstract

A method of showing video on a touch-sensitive display. The method includes showing video on a touch-sensitive display and detecting contact with the video on the touch-sensitive display. The method further includes manipulating a camera that is recording the video based on contact with the video on the touch-sensitive display.

Claims

1. A method of showing video on a touch-sensitive display comprising:

showing video on a touch-sensitive display;

detecting contact with the video on the touch-sensitive display; and

manipulating a camera that is recording the video based on contact with the video on the touch-sensitive display.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein manipulating the camera based on contact with the video on the touch-sensitive display includes adjusting the tilt angle of the camera.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein adjusting the tilt angle of the camera includes moving one finger vertically across the video on the touch-sensitive display.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein manipulating the camera based on contact with the video on the touch-sensitive display includes manipulating zoom functioning of the camera.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein manipulating zoom functioning of the camera includes moving two fingers in arcing motion across the video on the touch-sensitive display.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein manipulating the camera based on contact with the video on the touch-sensitive display includes manipulating a pan angle of the camera.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein manipulating a pan angle of the camera includes moving one finger laterally across the video on the touch-sensitive display.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein showing video on a touch-sensitive display includes showing video on a window on the touch-sensitive display.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein showing video on a window on the touch-sensitive display includes displaying a thumbnail video.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein showing video on a touch-sensitive display includes showing a plurality videos on a touch-sensitive display, and wherein manipulating the camera based on contact with the video on the touch-sensitive display includes manipulating a plurality of cameras based on contact with each of the videos on the touch-sensitive display.

11. A system comprising:

a touch-sensitive display;

a processor that shows video on a touch-sensitive display;

wherein the processor detects contact with the video on the touch-sensitive display, and wherein the processor manipulates a camera that is recording the video based on contact with the video on the touch-sensitive display.

12. The system of claim 11 wherein the processor adjusts the tilt angle of the camera.

13. The system of claim 12 wherein the processor adjusts the tilt angle of the camera when a user moves one finger vertically across the video on the touch-sensitive display.

14. The system of claim 11 wherein the processor manipulates zoom functioning of the camera.

15. The system of claim 14 wherein the processor manipulates zoom functioning of the camera when a user moves two fingers in an arcing motion across the video on the touch-sensitive display.

16. The system of claim 11 wherein the processor manipulates a pan angle of the camera.

17. The system of claim 16 wherein the processor manipulates a pan angle of the camera when a user moves one finger laterally across the video on the touch-sensitive display.

18. The system of claim 11 wherein the processor shows video on a window shown on the touch-sensitive display.

19. The system of claim 18 wherein the processor displays a thumbnail video on the window.

20. The system of claim 11 wherein the processor shows a plurality videos on the touch-sensitive display and manipulates a plurality of cameras based on contact with each of the videos on the touch-sensitive display.
