Abstract: A mobile remote control is provided. The mobile remote control includes a touch surface without a display and is adapted to an electronic device with a display. Each touch event on the touch surface is reflected on the display directly relative to the position and nature of the event on the touch surface. The size of the touch surface is small enough so that user's fingers can be around it. The sensitivity of the palm makes it possible for user to know the relatively position of his finger on the touch surface without gazing at ft.

Abstract: A dashboard device includes a dashboard display and a touchable remote control. The dashboard display is divided into controllable area and visual area. The mobile remote control includes a touch surface without a display and is adapted to an electronic device with a display. Each touch event on the touch surface is reflected on the controllable area of the dashboard display directly relative to the position and nature of the event on the touch surface. The size of the touch surface is small enough so that user's fingers can be around it and his thumb to reach all corners of the area without moving the rest of the hand. The driver would know the relatively position of his finger on the touch surface without gazing at it for safety during driving. The touch surface can also be removed and given to a passenger for infotainment purposes. While detached, its functionality is reduced for security reasons.

Abstract: A computing device-implemented method and the computing device thereof are provided. A center area and an outer area of the picture displayed on the touch-sensitive screen are defined. An image processing operation, such as zooming in, zooming out, or movement on the picture displayed on the touch-sensitive screen is performed based on the relationship of the initial location and the orientation of the sliding motion, and the center area and the outer area of the picture. Therefore, basic picture operations can be carried out by a single finger possibly while holding the device with the same palm to improve usability and to user safety.
