Patent

CA 2730413

A dedicated ratings input is presented for a portable media player. The input may take the form of a physical switch or pre-identified movements recorded by an accelerometer. Movement of the switch into one of the two posi-tions sets a rating for the currently playing media file. The physical ratings switch is not used during the playing of media files for any purpose other than the rating of media files. This allows the user to alter the rating by moving the switch with-out requiring any visual interaction with the portable media player. Audio feed-back is provided when the switch is used to change the ratings of the media files.

L'invention porte sur une commande dédiée de classement pour lecteur de média portable. La commande peut se faire à l'aide d'un commutateur physique ou de mouvements préidentifiés enregistrés par un accéléromètre. Le basculement du commutateur dans l'une des deux positions possible donne le classement du fichier de média en cours de lecture. Le commutateur physique n'est utilisé pendant la lecture de fichiers de médias que pour indiquer le classement. L'utilisateur peut ainsi changer le classement en basculant le commutateur sans avoir d'interaction visuelle avec le lecteur. Un signal audio en retour est fourni quand le commutateur est utilisé pour changer le classement des fichiers de médias.
