Estimating the term…
A device and method for image manipulation is provided. The image manipulation may be performed as a function of a three dimensional user input and image or application specific data regarding the displayed image to be manipulated. The three dimensional input may be in the form of a two dimensional position on a touch screen and a measured force in the third dimension. The image or application specific data may be in the form of a maximum depth value indicating the maximum depth of the displayed image. The system may be configured to adjust the image based on a percentage of the measured user input force and a threshold force. The image may be adjusted based on the percentage and the maximum depth.
A method of providing a user interface comprising:
The method of claim 5 wherein the user input is three dimensional and defines a two dimensional location and an applied force in a third dimension.
An image adjusting system comprising a receiving port configured to receive a user input through a touch screen interface characterized in that the system further comprises:
A multimedia device for displaying images, characterized that said multimedia device comprising a touch screen configured to receive a three dimensional user input, wherein at least one dimension is a measure of force, and a processor configured to alter a displayed image as a function of a percentage of the applied force.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
