Abstract
A menu control system and method that to control functions of a digital device are provided. The menu control system includes a detection unit which detects a first sub-contact area and a second sub-contact area within a contact area, the contact area generating a signal through contact with an object if the object is dragged from the first sub-contact area to the second sub-contact area, and an execution unit which executes a function mapped to a combination of the detected first sub-contact area and second sub-contact area.
Claims22
A menu control system comprising:
- a detection unit which detects a first sub-contact area and a second sub-contact area within a contact area, the contact area generating a signal through contact with an object if the object is dragged from the first sub-contact area to the second sub-contact area;
- and
- an execution unit which executes a function mapped to a combination of the detected first sub-contact area and second sub-contact area.
A menu control system comprising:
- a detection unit which detects a first sub-contact area and a second sub-contact area within a contact area, the contact area generating a signal through contact with an object if the object is dragged from the first sub-contact area to the second sub-contact area;
- and
- a communication unit which provides a command corresponding to a combination of contact with the detected first sub-contact area and second sub-contact area to a digital device.
A menu control system comprising:
- a communication unit which receives a command mapped to a combination of a first sub-contact area and a second sub-contact area within a contact area, the contact area generating a signal through contact with an object if the object is dragged from the first sub-contact area to the second sub-contact area;
- and
- an execution unit which executes a function corresponding to the received command.
A menu control method comprising:
- detecting a first sub-contact area and a second sub-contact area within a contact area, the contact area generating a signal through contact with an object if the object is dragged from the first sub-contact area to the second sub-contact area;
- and
- executing a function mapped to a combination of the detected first sub-contact area and second sub-contact area.

- and
- providing a command corresponding to a combination of the detected first sub-contact area and second sub-contact area to a digital device.
A menu control method comprising:
- receiving a command mapped to a combination of a first sub-contact area and a second sub-contact area in a contact area for generating a signal through contact with an object if the object is dragged from the first sub-contact area to the second sub-contact area;
- and
- executing a function corresponding to the received command.
