Abstract

Systems and methods for selecting an audio track by performing a gesture on a track-list image are provided. The system includes a processor that performs a method including displaying the audio-track list, detecting a contact with the touchscreen display at a location corresponding to the audio track, detecting a continuous movement of the contact in a direction, detecting a length of the continuous movement, and selecting the audio track if the continuous movement has a length longer than a threshold length. The method includes shifting text associated with the audio track based on the length and direction of the continuous movement. The method includes determining that the selection is a command to queue the audio track for playback or add it to a preparation track list. This determination may be based on the direction of the continuous movement.

Claims (45)

1. A DJ media player comprising:

a touchscreen display to show an audio-track list; and

a processor for selecting an audio track from the audiotrack list on a DJ media player, wherein selecting the audio track comprises:

displaying the audio-track list,

detecting a contact with the touchscreen display at a location corresponding to the audio track,

detecting a continuous movement of the contact in a direction,

detecting a length of the continuous movement equal or greater than a threshold length, and

prior to ending the contact with the touchscreen, displaying an indication associated with the audio track that ending the contact with the touchscreen will result in execution of a command associated with the audio track.

2. The DJ media player of claim 1 , wherein selecting the audio track further comprises shifting text associated with the audio track based on the length and direction of the continuous movement of the contact.

3. The DJ media player of claim 1 , wherein the selection is based on the direction of the continuous movement of the contact.

4. The DJ media player of claim 1 , wherein selecting the audio track further comprises determining that the selection is a command to queue the audio track for playback.

5. The DJ media player of claim 1 , wherein selecting the audio track further comprises determining that the selection is a command to add the audio track to a preparation track list.

6. The DJ media player of claim 1 , wherein selecting the audio track further comprises determining whether the selection is a command to queue the audio track for playback or to add the audio track to a preparation track list based on the direction.

7. The DJ media player of claim 1 , wherein selecting the audio track further comprises detecting an end of the contact with the touchscreen and a position of the end of the contact.

8. The DJ media player of claim 1 , wherein selecting the audio track further comprises displaying an indication if the continuous movement has a length longer than a threshold length, the indication indicating that ending the contact with the touchscreen will result in a selection.

9. A system comprising a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instruction that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform a method for selecting an audio track from an audio-track list, the method comprising:

displaying the audio-track list,

detecting a contact with the touchscreen display at a location corresponding to the audio track,

detecting a continuous movement of the contact in a direction,

detecting a length of the continuous movement equal or greater than a threshold length, and

prior to ending the contact with the touchscreen, displaying an indication associated with the audio track that ending the contact with the touchscreen will result in execution of a command associated with the audio track.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the method further comprises shifting text associated with the audio track based on the length and direction of the continuous movement of the contact.

11. The system of claim 9 , wherein the selection is based on the direction of the continuous movement of the contact.

12. The system of claim 9 , wherein the method further comprises determining that the selection is a command to queue the audio track for playback.

13. The system of claim 9 , wherein the method further comprises determining that the selection is a command to add the audio track to a preparation track list.

14. The system of claim 9 , wherein the method further comprises determining whether the selection is a command to queue the audio track for playback or to add the audio track to a preparation track list based on the direction.

15. The system of claim 9 , wherein the method further comprises detecting an end of the contact with the touchscreen and a position of the end of the contact.

16. The system of claim 9 , wherein the method further comprises displaying a visual indication if the continuous movement has a length longer than a threshold length, the visual indication indicating that ending the contact with the touchscreen will result in a selection.

17. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by at least one processor to facilitate selecting an audio track from an audio-track list according to a method, the method comprising:

displaying the audio-track list,

detecting a contact with the touchscreen display at a location corresponding to the audio track,

detecting a continuous movement of the contact in a direction,

detecting a length of the continuous movement equal or greater than a threshold length, and

prior to ending the contact with the touchscreen, displaying an indication associated with the audio track that ending the contact with the touchscreen will result in execution of a command associated with the audio track.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the method further comprises shifting text associated with the audio track based on the length and direction of the continuous movement of the contact.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the selection is based on the direction of the continuous movement of the contact.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the method further comprises determining that the selection is a command to queue the audio track for playback.

21. A DJ media player comprising:

a touchscreen display having a size dimension and configured for showing an audio-track list; and

a processor for selecting an audio track from the audio track list on a DJ media player, wherein selecting the audio track comprises:

displaying the audio-track list,

detecting a contact with the touchscreen display at a location corresponding to the audio track,

detecting a continuous movement of the contact in a direction,

detecting a length of the continuous movement equal or greater than a threshold length determined relative to the size dimension of the touch screen display, and

prior to ending the contact with the touchscreen, displaying an indication associated with the audio track that ending the contact with the touchscreen will result in execution of a command associated with the audio track.
