Abstract
Systems and methods of manipulating display parameters of displayed images, and optionally designating the images for manipulation, via a gesture pad.
Claims12
A method of displayed image manipulation comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device, an image selection input designating a plurality of displayed images for manipulation via a touch-sensitive interface, wherein the touch-sensitive interface is a touch screen comprising a gesture pad and wherein the gesture pad displays a set of gesture icons;
- receiving a first image manipulation command selection via touch input on the gesture pad of the touch-sensitive interface, wherein the first image manipulation command selection is selected from the set of gesture icons displayed in the gesture pad of the touch-sensitive interface to manipulate the designated plurality of displayed images, and wherein a selected gesture icon for indicating the selection is displayed in a configuration section within the gesture pad that is separate from the displayed set of gesture icons;
- receiving a first image manipulation command execution input via touch input in the configuration section;
- manipulating the designated plurality of displayed images responsive to both the first image manipulation command selection and the first image manipulation command execution input, wherein the designated plurality of displayed images are manipulated simultaneously;
- receiving a second image manipulation command selection via touch input on the gesture pad of the touch-sensitive interface, wherein the second image manipulation command is selected from the set of gesture icons displayed in the gesture pad of the touch-sensitive interface to manipulate the designated plurality of displayed images, and wherein a selected gesture icon is displayed in a gesture contact section within the gesture pad that is separate from the displayed set of gesture icons and the configuration section for indicating the selection;
- receiving a second image manipulation command execution input via gestures in the gesture contact section of the touch-sensitive interface;
- and
- manipulating the designated plurality of displayed images responsive to both the second image manipulation command selection and the second image manipulation command execution input, wherein the designated plurality of displayed images are manipulated simultaneously.

A computing device comprising:
- a processing unit and addressable memory;
- the processing unit configured to:
- receive an image selection input designating a plurality of displayed images for manipulation via a touch-sensitive interface, wherein the touch-sensitive interface is a touch screen-comprising a gesture pad and wherein the gesture pad displays a set of gesture icons;
- receive a first image manipulation command selection via touch input on the gesture pad of the touch-sensitive interface, wherein the first image manipulation command selection is selected from the set of gesture icons displayed in the gesture pad of the touch-sensitive interface to manipulate the designated plurality of displayed images, and wherein a selected gesture icon for indicating the selection is displayed in a configuration section within the gesture pad that is separate from the displayed set of gesture icons;
- receive a first image manipulation command execution input via touch input in the configuration section;
- manipulate the designated plurality of displayed images responsive to both the first image manipulation command selection and the first image manipulation command execution input, wherein the wherein the designated plurality of displayed images are manipulated simultaneously;
- receive a second image manipulation command selection via touch input on the gesture pad of the touch-sensitive interface, wherein the second image manipulation command is selected from the set of gesture icons displayed in the gesture pad of the touch-sensitive interface to manipulate the designated plurality of displayed images, and wherein a selected gesture icon is displayed in a gesture contact section within the gesture pad that is separate from the displayed set of gesture icons and the configuration section for indicating the selection;
- receive a second image manipulation command execution input via gestures in the gesture contact section of the touch-sensitive interface;
- and
- manipulate the designated plurality of displayed images responsive to both the second image manipulation command selection and the second image manipulation command execution input, wherein the designated plurality of displayed images are manipulated simultaneously.

A non-transitory processor readable medium having processor executable instructions thereon, which when executed by a processor cause the processor to:
- receive an image selection input designating a plurality of displayed images for manipulation via a touch-sensitive interface comprising a gesture pad and wherein the gesture pad displays a set of gesture icons;
- receive a first image manipulation command selection, via touch input on the gesture pad of the touch-sensitive interface, wherein the first image manipulation command selection is selected from the set of gesture icons displayed in the gesture pad of the touch-sensitive interface to manipulate the designated plurality of displayed images, and wherein a selected gesture icon for indicating the selection is displayed a configuration section within the gesture pad that is separate from the displayed set of gesture icons;
- receive a first image manipulation command execution input via touch input in the configuration section;
- and
- manipulate the designated plurality of displayed images responsive to both the first image manipulation command selection and the first image manipulation command execution input, wherein the designated plurality of displayed images are manipulated simultaneously;
- receive a second image manipulation command selection via touch input on the gesture pad of the touch-sensitive interface, wherein the second image manipulation command is selected from the set of gesture icons displayed in the gesture pad of the touch-sensitive interface to manipulate the designated plurality of displayed images, and wherein a selected gesture icon is displayed in a gesture contact section within the gesture pad that is separate from the displayed set of gesture icons and the configuration section for indicating the selection;
- receive a second image manipulation command execution input via gestures in the gesture contact section of the touch-sensitive interface;
- and
- manipulate the designated plurality of displayed images responsive to both the second image manipulation command selection and the second image manipulation command execution input, wherein the designated plurality of displayed images are manipulated simultaneously.
