METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING VIDEO CONTENT ON A DISPLAY

摘要

A controller for controlling a display device that displays secondary digital content displayed in an overlay above a primary video stream. The controller includes a touch interface device, a processor, and a memory storing non-transitory instructions. These instructions, when executed, can include (i) detecting a first input gesture by a user on the touch interface device, (ii) in response to detecting the first input gesture, selecting an application for display on the display screen, (iii) detecting a second input gesture by the user on the touch interface device, (iv) in response to detecting the second input gesture, scrolling through a currently-displayed layer of the selected application displayed on the display screen, (v) detecting a third input gesture by the user on the touch interface device, and (vi) in response to detecting the third input gesture, scrolling between layers of the selected application in a simulated Z-space.

1. A controller for controlling a display device that displays secondary digital content displayed in an overlay above a primary video stream, the controller including a touch interface device, a processor, and a memory storing non-transitory instructions for controlling the processor to perform operations during execution, wherein the operations comprise:
detecting a first input gesture by a user on the touch interface device; in response to detecting the first input gesture, selecting an application for display on the display screen from a set of two or more applications displayed on the display screen, wherein the two or more applications are the secondary digital content displayed in the overlay above the primary video stream on the display screen; detecting a second input gesture by the user on the touch interface device; in response to detecting the second input gesture, scrolling through a currently-displayed layer of the selected application displayed on the display screen, wherein scrolling through the currently-displayed layer takes place in an X-Y plane on the display screen; detecting a third input gesture by the user on the touch interface device; and in response to detecting the third input gesture, scrolling between layers of the selected application in a simulated Z-space on the display device.
