CONTINUOUS DIRECTIONAL INPUT METHOD WITH RELATED SYSTEM AND APPARATUS

摘要

A method for continuous directional input may include using a processor and memory to track parameters of a continuous spatial trace of a parametric process, and detect positions along the continuous spatial trace that correspond to selectable directional input events and subdivide the continuous spatial trace into trace segments. The processor and memory may calculate directional characteristics in positions of the selectable directional input events at ends of each trace segment, determine input indexes corresponding to the directional characteristics of each trace segment, and convert a sequence of indexes into assigned input values.
