Abstract
A gesture manipulation method and a gaming system are disclosed herein. The gesture manipulation method is suitable for an electronic apparatus including a touch sensor and means for displaying. The gesture manipulation method includes following steps. A gesture input is detected by the touch sensor when a visual card image is displayed on the means for displaying and the visual card image shows a back side of at least a playing card. When at least one contact point of the gesture input is detected to move along a specific pattern relative to the visual card image, a corresponding function is triggered or the visual card image is adjusted in response to the gesture input moved along the specific pattern.
Claims11
A gesture manipulation method, suitable for an electronic apparatus comprising a touch sensor and a display panel, the gesture manipulation method comprising:
- detecting a gesture input by the touch sensor when a visual chip image is displayed on the display panel and the visual chip image comprises a first portion, a second portion, a third portion and a fourth portion on a same surface of a top-most chip of the visual chip image;
- when the contact point of the gesture input is detected to click within the third portion, raising the betting value by a fixed amount;
- and when the contact point of the gesture input is detected to click within the fourth portion, reducing the betting value by the fixed amount;
- when a contact point of the gesture input is detected to slide within the first portion, dynamically regulating a betting value according to a relative position of the contact point within the first portion;
- when the at least one contact point of the gesture input is sequentially detected to touch on, slide forward and release relatively over the display panel, an instruction a of folding action is triggered to discard a one or more cards held by a player to fold a hand.
A gaming system, comprising:
- a plurality of electronic apparatuses, each of the electronic apparatuses comprising a communication unit, a touch sensor, a means for displaying and a non-transitory computer-readable medium, the electronic apparatuses forming a communicative network between each others via their communication units, the non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions configured to perform a method comprising:
- detecting a gesture input by the touch sensor when a visual card image is displayed on the means for displaying and the visual card image shows a back side of at least a playing card;
- and
- when at least one contact point of the gesture input is detected to move along a specific pattern relative to the visual card image, triggering a corresponding function or adjusting the visual card image in response to the gesture input moved along the specific pattern;
- detecting the gesture input by the touch sensor when a visual chip image is displayed along with the visual card image on the means for displaying and the visual chip image comprises a first portion, a second portion, a third portion and a fourth portion on a same surface of a top-most chip of the visual chip image;
- when the contact point of the gesture input is detected to click within the third portion, raising the betting value by a fixed amount;
- and when the contact point of the gesture input is detected to click within the fourth portion, reducing the betting value by the fixed amount;
- when a contact point of the gesture input is detected to slide within the first portion, dynamically regulating a betting value according to a relative position of the contact point within the first portion;
- when the at least one contact point of the gesture input is sequentially detected to touch on, slide forward and release relatively over the display panel, an instruction a of folding action is triggered to discard a one or more cards held by a player to fold a hand.
