Method and program of controlling electronic device, electronic device and subscriber equipment

摘要

Controlling the scaling of a user perceivable output quantity of an electronic device having a sensor for detecting characteristics of a user can be performed as a function of a rotational movement of characteristics of a user detected by the sensor. Alternatively, controlling can be performed as a function of time spent for the detection of the characteristics of a user.

主权项

1. In an electronic device having a sensor for detecting characteristics of a user skin and, functionally separate from the sensor, a user interface component for receiving user input, a method comprising:
detecting pivoting movement of the characteristics of the user skin around a pivot point on a surface of a sensor detecting characteristics of the user skin; controlling scaling of a user perceivable output quantity of the electronic device as a function of the pivoting movement detected by the sensor; detecting context in the electronic device; receiving from the user interface component an input determining a type of control of the user perceivable output quantity of the electronic device; determining the type of control as strengthening or weakening at least one of the following: a user perceivable acoustic quantity, a user perceivable visual quantity, or a user perceivable tactile quantity; changing the user perceivable output quantity to be controlled by selecting the user perceivable output quantity to be controlled according to the context so that the controlling controls a zoom operation in the electronic device; and additionally changing the user perceivable output quantity to be controlled by selecting the user perceivable output quantity to be controlled according to the input.
