Touch-enabled circle control for time and date entry

摘要

In a system and a method, a selection of an input data field is detected. In response to the selection of the input data field, a user interface having an inner concentric circle and an outer concentric circle is generated. A contact point corresponding to a location of a touch gesture submitted via a touch-enabled input device within one of the inner concentric circle and the outer concentric circle is detected. An angular velocity of circular movement from the contact point around one of the concentric circles is measured. An input data value is adjusted at a granularity based on the contact point and at a rate based on the measured angular velocity of circular movement.

1. A system, comprising:
a processor-implemented user interface (UI) generator module configured to generate a touch-enabled UI in response to a selection of an input data field, the touch-enabled UI comprising an inner concentric circle UI and an outer concentric circle UI; a processor-implemented movement detection module configured to:
detect a user input contact point within at least one of the inner concentric circle UI and the outer concentric circle UI; andmeasure an angular velocity of circular movement from the user input contact point around the at least one of the inner concentric circle UI and the outer concentric circle UI; and a processor-implemented data input module configured to:
adjust an input data value at a granularity based on the user input contact point and at a rate based on the measured angular velocity; andprovide the adjusted input data value for display.
