Touch panel user interface

摘要

A user interface, both providing relatively high quality graphic output and receiving input signals from a pointing device with substantially direct physical contact, or other movement by a user, such as typing in a projected ₃D field looking like a keyboard. A touch panel allows the user to sort and filter titles by their metadata, and to visually picture the relative closeness of multiple titles. The touch panel includes a presentation of individually selected titles by their cover art, along with associated metadata for those titles. The user can view textual metadata for titles concurrently with viewing cover art for those titles. A progress bar presents a location within a title, such as a media stream or a database, currently being, or having been, presented to the user.
