Abstract
Description
- This application is a Continuation application of co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/869,733, filed Jun. 16, 2004, titled “Multipurpose Navigation Keys For An Electronic Imaging Device,” (now U.S. Pat. No. 7,222,307, issued May 22, 2007), which is commonly owned with this application and is herein incorporated by reference.
- The present invention relates generally to portable electronic imaging devices, including digital cameras and cell phones, and more particularly to a method and apparatus for implementing navigation and select functions using a multipurpose navigation key.
- Portable electronic imaging devices capable of displaying digital images and video are commonplace today. Examples of such devices include digital cameras, camera-enabled cell phones, MP3 players, and personal digital assistants (PDAs), for instance.
FIGS. 1A and 1B are diagrams illustrating example portions of the hardware interface included on conventional imaging devices. - Referring to
FIG. 1A , aconventional imaging device 10 is equipped with a liquid-crystal display (LCD) or other type ofdisplay screen 12 for displayingobjects 14. Objects that may be displayed on the display screen may include digital still images, video clips, menu items, and icons. In play mode, thedisplay screen 12 is used as a playback screen for allowing the user to view objects individually or multiple objects at a time. Besides thedisplay screen 12, the hardware user interface also includes a number of keys, buttons or switches for operating thedevice 10 and for navigating between displayedobjects 14. Examples keys include zoom keys (not shown) for zooming a displayed image, anavigation controller 18, and aselect key 20. A four-way navigation controller 18 is shown inFIG. 1A , which includes four keys; left/right keys keys FIG. 1B is a diagram similar toFIG. 1A , where like components have like reference numerals, but shows theconventional imaging device 10 with a two-way navigation controller that only includes twokeys - In both embodiments shown in
FIGS. 1A and 1B , a user navigates to a desiredobject 14 by pressing thenavigation controller 18. In the case where asingle object 14 is displayed on thescreen 12, the displayedobject 14 is considered the current selection. In the case wheremultiple objects 14 are displayed, a highlight or other indication is moved fromobject 14 toobject 14 as the user navigates to indicate the currentlyselected object 14. Once the user navigates to adesired object 14, the user may initiate the default action associated with the current selection by pressing theselect key 20. Examples of actions that can be performed by pressing theselect key 20 include edit, open/execute, and delete. Theselect key 20 is shown in the center of thenavigation controller 18 inFIG. 1A , but theselect key 20 may also be located outside of the navigation controller, as shown inFIG. 1B . In yet other embodiments, the 2-way/4-way navigation controller 18 may be implemented as an integrated 2-way/4-way key. - Although the current solution for allowing a user to navigate among objects and to initiate an action associated with the
object 14 using a combination of thenavigation controller 18 and theselect key 20 works for its intended purposes, this implementation has several disadvantages. First, space for keys is limited on portable imaging devices. Having separate navigation andselection keys device 10. The user must find and press the right key in the correct sequence, which given the small keys on many portable devices due to miniaturization, is not always an easy task. - In addition, the user must find the right portion of the
navigation controller 18 for the direction of navigation desired. Users of devices with navigation controller keys often get unexpected results from pressing an undesired portion of thenavigation controller key 18. The most typical error is when the user presses a navigation key when intending to press theselection key 20 to initiate the selection function. - Accordingly, what is needed is an improved method and apparatus for implementing the navigation and select functions on the portable electronic imaging device. The present invention addresses such a need.
- The present invention provides a portable electronic imaging device that includes a display screen for displaying objects including any combination of digital still images, video clips, menu items, and icons; and a navigation controller comprising navigation keys for allowing a user to navigate between the displayed objects, wherein the user may select a currently displayed object without moving a finger from a navigation key last pressed, thereby implementing navigation and select functions on a single controller. In the preferred embodiment, the portable imaging device is configured to detect double-presses and press-and-holds on any navigation key, and either or both of these events may be interpreted as a user selection event that invokes the default operation on the currently selected object(s).
- According to the method and apparatus disclosed herein, the present invention eliminates the need for a user to use a select key, thus reducing user error. In addition, the select key may be eliminated from the device altogether, thereby saving space on navigation controller-equipped devices.

-
FIGS. 2A and 2B are diagrams illustrating hardware user interface embodiments for a portable electronic imaging device having a multipurpose navigation controller in accordance with the present invention, where like components have like reference numerals. Theimaging device 50 equipped with themultipurpose navigation controller 56 of the present invention allows a user to select anobject 54 displayed onscreen 52 without moving his/her finger from thelast navigation key 56 pressed. In the preferred embodiment, theportable imaging device 50 is configured to detect double-presses and press-and-holds on anynavigation key 56. Either or both of these events may be interpreted as a user selection event, which when detected invokes the default operation on the currently selected object(s). Thus, when a user navigates to a displayedobject 54, he/she can simply double-click thelast navigation key 56 pressed (or any navigation key) or press-and-hold thelast navigation key 56 pressed to select the current object(s) 54. In a further embodiment, thedevice 50 may be configured to detect double-presses and press-and-holds on anynavigation key 56, such that a detected double-press indicates a user selection, while a detected press-and-hold invokes an action on the currently selected object, and vice versa. With themultipurpose navigation controller 56 of the present invention, no separate selection key is required to indicate a selection event, thus eliminating the need for a separate select key, which potentially saves space on the device and reduces user error. - In a preferred embodiment, the
multi-purpose navigation controller 56 may be implemented as either a 4-way or 2-way navigation controller, as shown inFIGS. 2A and 2B , respectively, and thenavigation controller 56 may be implemented with separate navigation keys or as an integrated 4-way/2-way key. Also, in the preferred embodiment, a separate select key is eliminated from thedevice 50 in order to save space. However, an alternative embodiment, thedevice 50 may include a separate select key (not shown) for user convenience, whether located in the center of the navigation control or apart therefrom. -
FIG. 3 is a flow diagram illustrating a method for implementing navigation and select functions on a portable electronic imaging device by providing amultipurpose navigation controller 56 in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The process begins when thedevice 50 detects that one of thenavigation keys 56 has been pressed and released instep 100. If so, thedevice 50 determines if the time between the previous press of the same key and the current presses is less than a stored double-press time instep 102. - Referring again to
FIGS. 2A and 2B , the double-press time 58 is preferably stored in anon-volatile memory 60 in thedevice 50 along with arelease time 60. In a preferred embodiment, both are configurable. Referring toFIGS. 2A, 2B , and 3, if the time between presses is greater than the double-press time 58, instep 102, then thedevice 50 interprets the key press as a navigation event and displays the next object in step 104 (or moves a highlight to the next object, depending on the current operating mode). - According to one aspect of the present invention, the
device 50 is further configured to distinguish between fast scrolling during navigation and a double-press as follows. If the time between the previous press of the same key and the current press is less than the stored double-press time 58 instep 102, then thedevice 50 examines whether the last couple of presses (e.g., three) were performed on thesame navigation key 56 instep 106. If the last couple of presses were performed on the same key instep 106, then thedevice 50 determines that the user is fast-scrolling through displayed objects during navigation instep 108. Accordingly, the current key press is interpreted as a navigation event and the next object is displayed, as described instep 104. - If the time between the previous press of the same key and the current press is less than the stored double-
press time 58 instep 102, but the last couple of presses were not performed on the same navigation key instep 106, then the current key press is interpreted as a selection event instep 110. Instep 112, thedevice 50 executes the action associated with the currently selected object. - Also, according to the present invention, if the
device 50 detects that one of the navigation keys is pressed, but not released for a time greater than therelease time 62 instep 14, then this “press-and-hold” is interpreted as a selection event instep 110, and thedevice 50 executes the action as described instep 112. - A method and apparatus for implementing the navigation and select functions on the portable electronic imaging device using a multipurpose navigation key has been disclosed. The present invention has been described in accordance with the embodiments shown, and one of ordinary skill in the art will readily recognize that there could be variations to the embodiments, and any variations would be within the spirit and scope of the present invention. Accordingly, many modifications may be made by one of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
