METHOD FOR DISPLAYING AND MANAGING INTERACTION SYMBOLS AND ASSOCIATED VIEWING DEVICE WITH A TOUCH SURFACE

摘要

The general field of the invention is that of methods for managing interaction symbols in a viewing system including an associated viewing device comprising a touch surface and displaying, managing and controlling means. The method according to the invention is implemented so as to manage graphical interactors allowing the functions of a discrete or continuous-state rotary control knob to be carried out. It comprises the following steps:
Step 1: in the absence of tactile stress, displaying a symbol representative of the current state of said rotary control knob;Step 2: on a first tactile stress, causing interaction icons dedicated to said rotary control knob and surrounding said symbol to appear;Step 3: by maintaining and moving the tactile stress over the various interaction icons, changing the current state of said rotary control knob; andStep 4: by stopping the tactile stress, validating the new current state and causing the interaction icons to disappear.
