Touch and non touch based interaction of a user with a device

摘要

The invention relates to method for providing an input to a device characterized in that the input is based on a combination of at least one touch based interaction and at least one non-touch based interaction with the device, wherein the one type of input influences the action instructed to the device in response to the other type of input. The invention also relates to a corresponding device. To further improve the interaction between a user and a device, feedback providing means can be provided.

1. A method for interacting with a device to provide an input to the device characterized in that the interaction is based on a combination of at least one touch based interaction and at least one non-touch based interaction with the device, wherein the one type of interaction adapts the input attributed to the interaction with the device in response to the other type of interaction, comprising:
sensing a touch based interaction on the device; sensing a non-touch based interaction; in response to sensing the non-touch based interaction, adapting the input attributed to the non-touch based interaction; and selecting an object and providing an instruction to the device in relation to the selected object by:
selecting the object using the touch based interaction;sensing a gesture based on the non-touch based interaction;classifying the gesture and depending on the classification, inputting the instruction to the device, wherein the instruction scales with at least one parameter independent of the gesture including at least one of a dimension of the device and a dimension of the object presented on the display; andproviding the instruction in relation to the selected object based on the non-touch based interaction.
