| 110 | Systems and methods for interacting with a user interface of a media player | US10751846 | 2004-01-05 | US07421656B2 | 2008-09-02 | Jeffrey Fong; David Franklin; Thamer Abanami |
| Systems and methods for interfacing with playback of media by a media player are provided. By combining the functionality of fast forward and skip forward into a single button control, the invention reduces the numbers of control buttons that need be included on a device, reducing device costs and consumer “button overload.” In one embodiment, by pressing (and releasing) a forward button, media being rendered by a media player skips to a predetermined location in the media. By pressing and holding (and then releasing) the forward button, the media being rendered is fast forwarded according to algorithms for fast forwarding. A backward button covers skipping backward and fast reversing in a similar fashion. A device including a play/pause button and the described forward and backward buttons advantageously reduces the number of buttons required by two buttons. | ||||||

| A first predetermined operation is performed when a contact detector detects contact with an operation knob. A time length of the contact thus detected by the contact detector is measured and it is determined whether the time length of the contact is longer or shorter than a predetermined value. When it is determined that the time length of the contact is longer or shorter than the predetermined value, a second predetermined operation is performed. | ||||||
| 112 | Pressure sensor capable of changing resolution in accordance with amount of pressing force | US11157283 | 2005-06-21 | US07178405B2 | 2007-02-20 | Isao Sato |
| A pressure sensor includes a surface sheet whose front side is an operating surface and a substrate sheet that includes a plurality of switches and that is disposed below the back side of the surface sheet at a predetermined space therebetween. When the operating surface is depressed, the surface sheet is deformed toward the substrate sheet and a switch of the plurality of switches is turned into an input state, and a resolution of a switch signal from each of the switches varies in accordance with the amount of a pressing force applied on the operating surface. Therefore, an electronic device, such as a cellular phone, installed with the pressure sensor can have various functions realized by a variation in the resolution. | ||||||
| 113 | Method and system for computer application program task switching via a single hardware button | US11083777 | 2005-03-17 | US20060213754A1 | 2006-09-28 | Robert Jarrett; Leroy Keely; Emily Rimas-Ribikauskas |
| Described is a computer-implemented system and method that detects and differentiates different actuation methods entered via a single hardware button, and then takes different task (application program window) switching actions based on the type of actuation method detected. Example button actuation methods include double actuation, press-and-hold, single actuation, and also latent double actuation (which is slower than double actuation, but fast enough to be differentiated from a single actuation). Example task switching actions include toggling focus between two programs, cycling focus between each active program, presenting a Start menu, and/or presenting a list of active programs to select. The single hardware button may be dedicated to task switching, or may be a multi-purpose button that performs task switching when entered into a task switching mode via one actuation method, and performs one or more other functions when not in the task switching mode. | ||||||

| 116 | Apparatus and method for determining output signals according to pressure and depressing time | US10428924 | 2003-05-05 | US20040095261A1 | 2004-05-20 | Hsien-Ming Lin; Chin-Chen Kuo |
| An apparatus and a method for determining output signals according to pressure and depressing time mainly includes a timer, a scanner and a keyboard connecting electronically to the timer and the scanner. The keyboard has a plurality of button keys. When in use, the timer is set to zero and stops counting time. Then the scanner scans the keyboard to locate the button key being depressed by an external force. A signal is output depending on the external force. A first signal is output when the external force is small. When the external force is large and the time counted by the timer does not exceed a selected time period, the first signal is output. When the time counted by the timer exceeds the selected time period, a second signal is output. Thus input information may be entered through fewer button keys, and injury that might otherwise occur by using composite keys may be avoided. | ||||||

| 120 | Multi-function control switch for electrically operating devices | US513042 | 1995-08-09 | US5753983A | 1998-05-19 | Robert G. Dickie; Thomas K. Tierney; Michael E. Coveley |
| A multi-function control switch for electrically operating devices, such as a lighting system, is disclosed. The multi-function control switch includes a rocker-type actuating arm for actuating a plurality of momentary switches. When actuated, the momentary switches send signals to an electronic operating module which houses a control logic circuit. The control logic circuit receives input keying sequences from the user, and interprets the input to determines whether the input keying sequence is associated with any of the command logic elements stored in its memory, and whether the system may validly switch from the current operating function to the new operating function. If the transition is valid, the control logic circuit signals the electronic operating module to execute the command logic element associated with the new operating function. | ||||||
