  • DIRECTIONAL CONTROL USING A TOUCH SENSITIVE DEVICE
    Publication number: 20150074614
    Abstract: A method and system for navigation within a two-dimensional grid object displayed on an electronic device includes determining a starting location and a circular motion of a touch gesture on the touch sensitive interface. Advancement of the circular motion of the touch gesture is mapped into a continuous navigation along an axis of the displayed grid object. The mapping into a navigation direction within the grid object is based on the starting location and the circular direction of the touch gesture. The results of the navigation, such as an indication of navigation direction and a location within the grid object are displayed.
