Abstract
Methods and systems are disclosed herein for a media guidance application that determines the tactile attributes (e.g., an amount of pressure applied by a user, a length of time pressure is applied by a user, a velocity of the user input, etc.) associated with a received user input and determines which media guidance function, of a plurality of media guidance functions, is associated with the tactile attributes.
Claims10
A method for selecting media guidance functions based on tactile attributes, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a user input interface, a user input for an alphanumeric character of an alphanumeric entry;
- determining, by control circuitry, a velocity of the user input;
- comparing, by control circuitry, the velocity of the user input to a threshold;
- and
- in response to determining that the velocity of user input exceeds the threshold, performing a spelling correction on the alphanumeric entry.
A system for selecting media guidance functions based on tactile attributes, the system comprising control circuitry configured to:
- receive a user input for an alphanumeric character of an alphanumeric entry;
- determine a velocity of the user input;
- compare the velocity of the user input to a threshold;
- and
- perform a spelling correction on the alphanumeric entry in response to determining that the velocity of user input exceeds the threshold.
