Assignee:
Motorola, Inc. - Schaumburg IL
International Classification:
G06F 3/033 G06F 3/041
US Classification:
715863, 345173
Abstract:
There is disclosed a wireless communication device for communicating with one or more remote devices. The device comprises a touch-sensitive surface, a user interface, and a transceiver. The user interface produces an input signal in response to detecting a predetermined gesture at the touch-sensitive surface. The transceiver communicates wirelessly with a remote device and terminates communication with the remote device in response to the input signal from the user interface. The device determines that it is communicating the remote device, detects the predetermined gesture at the touch-sensitive surface, and terminates communication with the remote device in response to detecting the predetermined gesture while communicating with the remote device. The predetermined gesture includes continuous contact at the touch-sensitive surface between discrete locations of the surface.

Abstract:
A user interface having a plurality of user interface elements for marking, finding, organizing, and processing data stored in a computer system. Each element typically has an appearance which is related to the data or function the element is designed to represent or perform. The elements may simply mark data within the document, or may be programmed to cause the computer to perform some function in association with the marked data. Methods of marking data and searching the memory for marked data by use of switches or buttons is disclosed. Further, useful elements for systems such as computerized camera systems, portable multimedia systems, and remote controls are also described. Some of the user interface elements of the present invention may have an appearance and/or functionality dependent upon the context in which the element is used, and/or dependent upon the user's identity. Methods for arranging the elements in stacks, and for providing for automatic application of elements to captured image data are also disclosed.
