Abstract: An electronic device includes a pressure-sensitive user interface component, a memory device, and a processor. The memory device has executable instructions that are executed by the processor to display a media player on a display of the electronic device. The media player includes a window for presentation of media content, a progress bar, and a play head indicating a playback position, wherein time scrolling of the media content is achieved by selection and movement of the play head along the progress bar. The method receives activation control information associated with selection of the play head, the control information including a force measurement of an amount of force imparted on the pressure-sensitive component, and the method renders a thumbnail image of the media content in response to receiving the control information, the thumbnail image having a displayed size that is influenced by the force measurement.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a pressure-sensitive user interface component, a memory device, and a processor. The memory device stores executable instructions to perform a method that displays a media player on a display of the electronic device. The media player has a window for presentation of media content, a progress bar, and a play head that indicates a playback position of the media content, wherein time scrolling of the media content is achieved by selection and movement of the play head along the progress bar. The method continues by receiving activation control information associated with selection of the play head, the control information including a force measurement corresponding to an amount of force imparted on the pressure-sensitive component. The method continues by controlling a variable user feedback setting for time scrolling of the media content, in response to the force measurement.

The memory device has executable instructions stored therein to perform a method that displays a media player on a display of the electronic device, the media player having a window for presentation of media content, a progress bar, and a play head that indicates a playback position of the media content, wherein time scrolling of the media content is achieved by selection and movement of the play head. The method continues by receiving activation control information associated with selection of the play head during presentation of the media content, the control information including a force measurement corresponding to an amount of force imparted on the pressure-sensitive component. The method continues by controlling a variable granularity setting for time scrolling of the media content, in response to the force measurement.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for adaptively recognizing gestures indicated by user inputs received from a touchpad, touchscreen, directional pad, mouse or other multi-directional input device. If a user's movement does not indicate a gesture using current gesture recognition parameters, additional processing can be performed to recognize the gesture using other factors. The gesture recognition parameters can then be adapted so that subsequent user inputs that are similar to the previously-rejected inputs will appropriately trigger gesture commands as desired by the user. Gestural data or parameters may be locally or remotely stored for further processing.
