Abstract: A device for controlling playback of digital multimedia displays in first and second portion a representation of a part of the multimedia data, where in the first portion a representation of a part of the multimedia data, which is displayed on the second portion, is displayed, and where the first portion operatable in at least a first and a second mode, where in the first mode independently of a position of a touch point a direction and a speed of the playback is controllable in dependence of a change of the touch point, and in the second mode a new playback position is definable in dependence of the position of the touch point, for displaying in the second portion a marker for indicating a neighbourhood around the playback position, and for switching the modus of the first portion, when the marker is moved by user input.

Abstract: A device and/or method controls playback of digital multimedia data and comprises, at least in part, at least one touch-sensitive graphical user interface for data input and data output. The device is configured for displaying data input, data output, a representation of at least a part of the multimedia data, and at least one marker for indicating a position within the multimedia data for starting playback, wherein at least a part of the at least one marker has assigned a region of the representation, and for playing back, in response to a touch gesture, the multimedia data, where the touch gesture contacts a region, and where the playback starts from a position indicated by the marker, which has assigned the contacted region.

Abstract: A device for controlling playback of digital multimedia data is proposed, which comprises at least one touch sensitive means for data input and data output. The device is configured for displaying in the means for data input and data output a representation of at least a part of the multimedia data and at least one marker for indicating a position within the multimedia data for starting playback, where at least a part of the markers each has assigned a region of the representation, and for playing back, in response to a touch gesture, the multimedia data, where the touch gesture contacts a region, and where the playback starts from a position indicated by the marker, which has assigned the contacted region.
