Abstract

The present disclosure relates to device control. In one embodiment, a method for device control includes displaying a user interface including one or more graphical elements on a display of the device and presenting a notification window in the user interface as an overlay to the one or more graphical elements. The notification window can be displayed to include one or more options to control operation of the device (e.g., confirm, cancel, etc.). The method can also include detecting a touch command relative to the display, wherein the touch command is a directional command correlated by the device to one of a plurality of options to control device operation in response to the notification window and controlling operation of the device based on the direction of the touch command. Another embodiment is directed to a device configured to control operation based on a direction of touch command.

Claims (30)

1 . A method for device control, the method comprising:

displaying, by a device, a user interface including one or more graphical elements on a display of the device;

presenting, by the device, a notification window in the user interface as an overlay to the one or more graphical elements, wherein the notification window is displayed to include one or more options to control operation of the device;

detecting, by the device, a touch command relative to the display, wherein the touch command is a directional command, and wherein a direction of the touch command is correlated by the device to one of a plurality of options to control device operation in response to the notification window; and

controlling, by the device, operation of the device based on the direction of the touch command.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the user interface includes presentation of at least one of an application and device control screen.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the notification window includes a confirm selection and a cancel selection.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the touch command is associated with position of display for the notification window.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the touch command is non-overlapping to the position of display for the notification window.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the touch command is a first of two opposing directions for device control.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein controlling operation of the device includes closing the display window from presentation when a swipe command is detected in a first direction.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein controlling operation of the device includes selecting an option to proceed with an operation indicated in the display window for swipe command detected in a direction assigned to confirm.

9 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising presenting a follow-up notification window based on the direction of the touch command.

10 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising updating the display to transition the notification window out from the user interface and presenting a graphical representation of the selected command during the updating.

11 . A device comprising:

a display; and

a controller coupled to the display, the controller configured to

control display of a user interface including one or more graphical elements on the display;

present a notification window in the user interface as an overlay to the one or more graphical elements, wherein the notification window is displayed to include one or more options to control operation of the device;

detect a touch command relative to the display, wherein the touch command is a directional command, and wherein a direction of the touch command is correlated by the device to one of a plurality of options to control device operation in response to the notification window; and

control operation of the device based on the direction of the touch command.

12 . The device of claim 11 , wherein the user interface includes presentation of at least one of an application and device control screen.

13 . The device of claim 11 , wherein the notification window includes a confirm selection and a cancel selection.

14 . The device of claim 11 , wherein the touch command is associated with position of display for the notification window.

15 . The device of claim 11 , wherein the touch command is non-overlapping to the position of display for the notification window.

16 . The device of claim 11 , wherein the touch command is a first of two opposing directions for device control.

17 . The device of claim 11 , wherein controlling operation of the device includes closing the display window from presentation when a swipe command is detected in a first direction.

18 . The device of claim 11 , wherein controlling operation of the device includes selecting an option to proceed with an operation indicated in the display window for swipe command detected in a direction assigned to confirm.

19 . The device of claim 11 , further comprising presenting a follow-up notification window based on the direction of the touch command.

20 . The device of claim 11 , further comprising updating the display to transition the notification window out from the user interface and presenting a graphical representation of the selected command during the updating.
