  • Patent number: 10394428
    Abstract: A method and an electronic device for manipulating a first user interface object are provided. The electronic device is capable of detecting a first type of touch on a touch screen of the electronic device and a second type of touch on the touch screen. The electronic device detects a first touch of the first type at the first user interface object. The electronic device sets the first user interface object to a first state in response to the detection of the first touch. Next, the electronic device detects a second touch of the first type at a second user interface object. Then, the electronic device manipulates the first or second user interface object based on properties of the first and second user interface objects in response to the detection of the second touch.

  • Publication number: 20090282335
    Abstract: An electronic device is provided that plays back a collection of media objects. The electronic device includes a controller that assigns a virtual spatial location within a virtual space to a sample of each media object and plays back at least one of the samples to a user through a multichannel audio device. Each played sample is within a virtual audible range of a virtual user position in the virtual space, and each played sample is played using spatial audio so that the user perceives each played sample as emanating from the corresponding virtual spatial location within the virtual space. The electronic device further includes a navigation device that inputs navigational signals to the controller to move the virtual user position relative to the virtual space in accordance with user manipulation of the navigation device.
