A USER INTERFACE FOR A MULTI-POINT TOUCH SENSITIVE DEVICE

摘要

A user interface unit (13) to interpret signals from a multi-point touch sensitive device (3) is disclosed. The user interface unit (13) comprises a gesture unit (13a) configured to enable a user to touch at least one item of data using a finger and select the at least one item of data, hold at least two fingers in contact with the at least one selected item of data and stretch the two fingers apart to view information about the at least one selected item of data while the two fingers are held apart and in contact with the user interface unit (13) and to no longer view the information about the selected item of data in response to releasing the at least two fingers held apart in contact with the user interface unit (13). This is generally useful in devices that display content in a list and each item of the list has associated metadata.
