User interface to provide enhanced control of an application program
TLDR
In this paper, a method for imparting control to an application program (AP) running on a mobile device is proposed, which comprises the acts of displaying a graphical user interface (GUI) of the AP on a touch panel of the mobile device; capturing a touch input on a portion of the GUI; and monitoring an occurrence of a spatial movement of mobile devices.Abstract:
A method for imparting control to an application program (AP) running on a mobile device, said method comprising the acts of displaying a graphical user interface (GUI) of the AP on a touch panel of the mobile device; capturing a touch input on a portion of the GUI; the method further comprising, when identifying the touch input as a touch input of a predefined first type, the acts of imparting a first AP control associated to the portion of the GUI; monitoring an occurrence of a spatial movement of the mobile device; imparting a second AP control associated to the portion of the GUI in response to the capture of a spatial movement.read more
