Abstract
A method of controlling an information board comprises the steps of sensing a gesture using a gesture capturing controller, determining a type of action having provided the gesture expression from the gesture capturing controller, where the type of command is one of a navigation request. Depending on the determined type of gesture, user interface elements of a spatial configuration are displayed.
Claims12
A method of controlling an information board comprising a visual information display, the method comprising the steps of:
- sensing a human body gesture given to the gesture controller for the visual information display, determining a type of implement having provided the sensed activation of a control or interaction on the gesture sensitive display, said type of implement being one of at least a command type and a navigation type, and depending on the determined type of implement, displaying user interface elements of a first spatial configuration when the determined type of implement is the command type and displaying user interface elements of a second spatial configuration when the determined type of implement is the navigation type.
An information board display terminal comprising a digital display and:
- gesture sensing means for sensing an activation of a control or interaction on the gesture sensitive display, determining means for determining a type of implement having provided the sensed activation of a control or interaction on the gesture sensitive display, said type of implement being one of at least a command type and a navigation type and control means configured for, depending on the determined type of implement, displaying user interface elements of a first spatial configuration when the determined type of implement is the command type and displaying user interface elements of a second spatial configuration when the determined type of implement is the navigation type.
A computer program product comprising a computer readable medium having computer readable software instructions embodied therein, wherein the computer readable software instructions comprise:
- computer readable software instructions capable of sensing a gesture activation of a control or interaction on the gesture sensitive display, computer readable software instructions capable of determining a type of implement having provided the sensed activation of a control or interaction on the sensitive display, said type of implement being one of at least a command type and a navigation type, and computer readable software instructions capable of, depending on the determined type of implement, displaying user interface elements of a first spatial configuration when the determined type of implement is the command type and displaying user interface elements of a second spatial configuration when the determined type of implement is the navigation type.
