Abstract
Disclosed are configurations for controlling media using a chromeless media player. Gestures performed on a touch sensitive screen are used to modify the behavior of the media player. In one embodiment, a gesture recognizer recognizes a gesture performed on a touch sensitive screen. The behavior of a media player is modified based on the recognized gesture. For example, a tap gesture may toggle a playback state (play/pause) of the media player, a pinch gesture may display a seek screen, a scrub gesture may change the playback time of the media player, etc.
Claims22
A method for controlling media comprising:
- recognizing a scrub gesture performed on a touch sensitive screen, the scrub gesture recognized by a horizontal movement of a finger touching the touch sensitive screen;
- determining a horizontal displacement associated with the scrub gesture;
- determining a frame position based on the horizontal displacement associated with the scrub gesture;
- and
- modifying a playback time of a media player based on the determined frame position.
A method for controlling media comprising:
- recognizing a gesture performed on a touch sensitive screen;
- identifying one or more parameters associated with the recognized gesture;
- and
- modifying a behavior of a media player based on the recognized gesture and the determined one or more parameters associated with the gesture.
A chromeless media controller comprising:
- a gesture recognizer configured to recognize a gesture from a plurality of gestures performed on a touch sensitive screen and identify a one or more parameters associated with the recognized gesture;
- and
- a scrubber configured to modify a behavior of a media player based on the gesture recognized by the gesture recognizer and the one or more parameters associated with the gesture.
A non-transitory computer readable medium configured to store instructions, the instructions when executed by a processor cause the processor to:
- recognize a gesture performed on a touch sensitive screen;
- identify a one or more parameters associated with the recognized gesture;
- and
- modify a behavior of a media player based on the recognized gesture and the determined one or more parameters associated with the gesture.
