PROVIDING A CALLOUT BASED ON A DETECTED ORIENTATION
A system and method for providing a callout based on a detected orientation is illustrated. The system includes a touch detector to detect an input to an interface; a callout detector to detect whether a callout is associated with the input; an orientation detector to determine a direction of the input; and a callout display driver to indicate a position of the callout based on the determined direction.
1 . A system for providing a callout based on a detected orientation, comprising:
a data store comprising a computer readable medium storing a program of instructions for the providing of the callout;
a processor that executes the program of instructions;
a touch detector to detect an input to an interface;
a callout detector to detect whether a callout is associated with the input;
an orientation detector to determine a direction of the input; and
a callout display driver to indicate a position of the callout based on the determined direction.
2 . The system according to claim 1 , wherein the input is defined as a graphical user interface (GUI) element of a touch display.
3 . The system according to claim 2 , wherein the callout is a secondary GUI element associated with the input, and the position is a portion of the touch display.
4 . The system according to claim 1 , wherein the portion of the touch display is on a side opposite the determined direction of the input.
5 . The system according to claim 1 , wherein the orientation detector is coupled to an image/video capturing device to monitor a user associated with the input.
6 . The system according to claim 1 , wherein the orientation detector is a coupled to an angle/pressure sensor.
7 . The system according to claim 2 , wherein the touch display is installed in a vehicle.
8 . A method performed on a processor for providing a callout based on a detected orientation, comprising:
detecting an input to an interface;
detecting whether a callout is associated with the input;
determining a direction of the input; and
indicating a position of the callout based on the determined direction,
wherein at least one of the detecting, determining, or indicating is performed on a processor.
9 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein the input is defined as a graphical user interface (GUI) element of a touch display.
10 . The method according to claim 9 , wherein the callout is a secondary GUI element associated with the input, and the position is a portion of the touch display.
11 . The system according to claim 8 , wherein the portion of the touch display is on a side opposite the determined direction of the input.
12 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein the orientation detector is coupled to an image/video capturing device to monitor a user associated with the input.
13 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein the orientation detector is a coupled to an angle/pressure sensor.
14 . The method according to claim 9 , wherein the touch display is installed in a vehicle.
15 . A touch display device, comprising:
a first graphical user interface (GUI) element;
a callout associated with the first GUI element;
wherein in response to the first GUI element being initiated by a user's touch, the callout being displayed on the touch display device based on a position of the user's touch.
