A day/evening selector is displayed, wherein day or evening may be selected with the user input device.
Claims15
A method for inputting time in a video environment, comprising:
- displaying an analog-type mechanism having an hour hand grab mechanism and a minute hand grab mechanism,
- wherein the hour hand grab mechanism may be pulled with a user input device to set a desired hour, and
- wherein the minute hand grab mechanism may be pulled with the user input device to set a desired minute;
- and
- displaying a day/evening selector, wherein day or evening may be selected with the user input device.
A device for inputting time in a video environment, comprising:
- an analog-type mechanism having an hour hand grab mechanism connected to an hour hand and a minute hand grab mechanism connected to a minute hand,
- wherein the hour hand grab mechanism may be pulled with an user input device to set a desired hour, and
- wherein the minute hand grab mechanism may be pulled with the user input device to set a desired minute;
- and
- a day/evening selector, wherein day or evening may be selected with the user input device.
A system for inputting time in a video environment, comprising:
- means for displaying an analog-type mechanism having an hour hand grab mechanism and a minute hand grab mechanism,
- wherein the hour hand grab mechanism may be pulled with an user input device to set a desired hour, and
- wherein the minute hand grab mechanism may be pulled with the user input device to set a desired minute;
- and
- means for displaying a day/evening selector, wherein day or evening may be selected with the user input device.
A computer-readable medium having stored thereon a plurality of instructions for inputting time in a video environment, said plurality of instructions when executed by a computer, cause said computer to perform:
- displaying an analog-type mechanism having an hour hand grab mechanism and a minute hand grab mechanism,
- wherein the hour hand grab mechanism may be pulled with an user input device to set a desired hour, and
- wherein the minute hand grab mechanism may be pulled with the user input device to set a desired minute;
- and
- displaying a day/evening selector, wherein day or evening may be selected with the user input device.
