METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GESTURE RECOGNITION

摘要

A touchscreen device is configured to display a number of user interface elements in accordance with a menu hierarchy. Upon receipt of a predetermined touchscreen gesture (e.g., the circular motion of a manipulator) the menu hierarchy is bypassed and the user is given immediate control over a selected function, for example, a tuning function such as audio volume, screen contrast, and the like.
