Scrolling displayed objects using a 3D remote controller in a media system
First Claim
1. A method for scrolling a plurality of displayed objects using an input mechanism, the method comprising:
- displaying a plurality of objects;
receiving a first input comprising a first linear swipe on the input mechanism along a first direction;
scrolling the display of the plurality of objects using a first type of scrolling in response to receiving the first linear swipe;
receiving a second input comprising a second linear swipe on the input mechanism along a second direction at an angle from the first direction; and
scrolling the display of the plurality of objects using a second type of scrolling different than the first type of scrolling and along the same direction as the first type of scrolling in response to receiving the second linear swipe.

Abstract
An electronic device associated with a remote wand controlling the operations of the electronic device is provided. The wand may include a motion detection component operative to provide an output reflecting the motion of the wand to the electronic device, such that the movements of a cursor displayed by the electronic device may be related to the output of the motion detection component. The wand may also include an input mechanism operative to receive user inputs. Using the input mechanism, the wand may detect a user'"'"'s inputs and direct the electronic device to zoom or scroll displayed objects. The electronic device may display a screen saver by which the user may select particular media items for playback while remaining in the screen saver mode. In some embodiments, the electronic device may display video with a scroll bar that includes a preview window of the video.

1. A method for scrolling a plurality of displayed objects using an input mechanism, the method comprising:
-
displaying a plurality of objects; receiving a first input comprising a first linear swipe on the input mechanism along a first direction; scrolling the display of the plurality of objects using a first type of scrolling in response to receiving the first linear swipe; receiving a second input comprising a second linear swipe on the input mechanism along a second direction at an angle from the first direction; and scrolling the display of the plurality of objects using a second type of scrolling different than the first type of scrolling and along the same direction as the first type of scrolling in response to receiving the second linear swipe. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11)

12. A method for controlling the playback of media using an input mechanism, the method comprising:
-
displaying a plurality of media objects available for playback; receiving a first input comprising a first linear swipe in a vertical manner across the input mechanism; performing a first playback operation in response to receiving the first linear swipe; receiving a second input comprising a second linear swipe in a horizontal manner across the input mechanism; and performing a second playback operation different than the first playback operation in response to receiving the second linear swipe. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. An electronic device operative to display a plurality of objects, the electronic device coupled to a wand comprising an input mechanism, the electronic device comprising a processor, the processor operative to:
-
provide an output signal representing a plurality of objects; receive a first input comprising a first linear swipe of a user'"'"'s finger in a first axis across the input mechanism; provide an output signal scrolling the displayed plurality of objects in a first manner in response to receiving the first linear swipe; receive a second input comprising a second linear swipe of a user'"'"'s finger in a second axis at an angle from the first axis across the input mechanism; and provide an output signal scrolling the plurality of objects in a second manner different than the first manner and along the same direction as the first manner in response to the second linear swipe. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
