Abstract
Methods, apparatus, and computer readable medium for creating and/or editing images are disclosed. An electronic tablet device may include a display, touch sensor, a motion sensor, controller and speaker. The motion sensor may generate input signals indicative of a spatial movement of the electronic tablet device. The controller may receive the input signals and generate output signals that move a drawing tool across a canvas of the display based on the spatial movement of the electronic device. The output signals may further update the canvas to reflect an effect of moving the drawing tool across the canvas per the tilting movement.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving an input signal indicative of a spatial movement of an electronic device;
- moving a drawing tool on a display based on the spatial movement of the electronic device as indicated by the input signal;
- and
- updating a canvas on the display to reflect an effect of moving the drawing tool across the canvas per the spatial movement of the electronic device.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a display configured to display a canvas and a drawing tool based on one or more output signals;
- a motion sensor configured to generate one or more input signals indicative of a spatial movement of the apparatus;
- and
- a controller configured to receive the one or more input signals and to generate one or more output signals that move the drawing tool across the canvas based on the spatial movement indicated by the input signal, and update the canvas to reflect an effect of moving the drawing tool across the canvas per the spatial movement.
A computer readable storage medium, comprising a plurality of instructions, that in response to being executed, cause an electronic tablet device to:
- display a canvas and a drawing tool on a display of the electronic tablet device;
- detect a spatial movement of the electronic tablet device;
- move the drawing tool across the canvas based on the detected spatial movement of the electronic tablet device;
- and
- update the canvas to reflect an effect of moving the drawing tool across the canvas per the detected spatial movement.
