Abstract
An electronic device, such as a mobile terminal, includes a touchscreen display and a control unit for operating responsive to user contact with the display. The control unit is configured to display an analog clock, detect user contact with the display, and adjust displayed position of a selected clock hand of the analog clock responsive to relative locations on the display that the detected user contact occurs.
Claims21
A method for adjusting an analog clock displayed on a touchscreen display of an electronic device, the method comprising:
- displaying the analog clock on the display, the analog clock comprising one or more clock hands, a clock face and a center about which the one or more clock hands effectively rotate;
- detecting user contact with the display, the user contact occurring at locations other than on the clock face of the analog clock on the display such that the detection of the user contact does not require contact with the display at a defined location which is proximately located to the clock face, the user contact comprising contact with the display at any location on the display except for the clock face;
- and
- adjusting a displayed position of a selected clock hand of the one or more clock hands responsive to relative locations on the display where the detected user contact occurs.
