Title: A method of adjusting a graphical control
Inventor: SPIELBERG ANTHONY CAPPA
IPC: G06F3/0484
Filed: 2012-11-01
Abstract: A method of adjusting a graphical control element includes mapping a graphical control element (e.g. sliders 130) to a corresponding key (or keys or soft keys 124) on a human interface device (e.g. a touch sensitive screen or keyboard). Activating the graphical control element for adjustment by placing the corresponding key in an active state (e.g. by pressing and holding a key or by pressing a key to activate), while maintaining the corresponding key in the active state, adjusting the graphical control element with a cursor control device (e.g. a mouse, a touchpad, a multidirectional cursor keys or touch input system on the display) and ending the adjustment of the graphical control element by placing the corresponding key in an inactive state. Individual keys or simultaneously selected combinations of keys may be mapped to sliders. By activating a key corresponding to a graphical control element the cursor is associated with the graphical control element such that an input parameter may be adjusted.
