MEDIA DEVICE WITH RADIAL GESTURE CONTROL AND METHODS FOR USE THEREWITH

摘要

In accordance with one or more embodiments, a media device includes a radial gesture controller configured to identify a plurality of contemporaneous user touchpoints of a touch screen, and to generate radial gesture control data that includes a radial distance between a first of the plurality of contemporaneous user touchpoints about a second of the plurality of contemporaneous user touchpoints and an angular deviation of a first of the plurality of contemporaneous user touchpoints about a second of the plurality of contemporaneous user touchpoints. The radial gesture control data is used to generate control data, such as linear media control data for controlling a media player based on the radial distance and the angular deviation. Other embodiments are disclosed.

1. A media device comprising:
a touch screen that generates touch data indicating a plurality of contemporaneous user touchpoints of the touch screen; a media player configured to generate media data for display of media content via the touch screen in accordance with linear media control data; and a radial gesture controller configured to analyze the touch data to generate radial gesture control data that includes a radial distance between a first of the plurality of contemporaneous user touchpoints and a second of the plurality of contemporaneous user touchpoints and an angular deviation of a first of the plurality of contemporaneous user touchpoints about a second of the plurality of contemporaneous user touchpoints, and to generate adjustments to the linear media control data based on the radial distance and the angular deviation.
