Embodiments of the invention are related to a system and method of controlling a display of an image stream. The system may include a memory to store the image stream; the image stream may comprise a plurality of image frames. The system may further include a processor configured to execute the method. The moving image stream may be displayed to a user in an image stream display area of a screen and a frame rate control interface may be generated on a speed control area of the screen, such that the image stream display area is horizontally adjacent to the speed control area. An indication of a desired frame rate for displaying the image stream of the image frames may be received from the user, in that the frame rate may be selected according to a location of a pointing indicator in the speed control area.

A personalized remote control is configured such that a predefined movement and/or orientation of the remote control is associated with a predefined command. The remote control includes a plurality of output surfaces configured for controlling digital content on one or more output devices, such that each of the output surfaces is associated with a predefined selection of digital content. The remote control provides a simple interface for controlling a number of electronic devices. Preferably, elderly people and/or people with dementia should be able to operate/interact with the remote control. The remote control is typically part of a system comprising a database with personal content of the user, an electronic device receiving commands from the remote control, and one or more electronic output devices controllable by the remote control.

A method for operating an input device. An input element of the input device is manually operated to perform an input into a computer device operatively connected to the input device. Mobility of the input element can be selectively delayed, blocked, and enabled by a controllable magneto-rheological braking device. The mobility of the input element is selectively adjusted by the computer device at least as a function of at least one input condition stored in the computer device. The input device may be a computer mouse.

At least a part of a movable switch is placed on a detection surface that is capable of detecting a variation in electrostatic capacitance caused by an approach or contact of a user's finger. A knob is configured to be displaced relative to the detection surface in accordance with an operation of the finger. A first conductive portion is arranged at a position in the knob where is separated from the detection surface. A plurality of second conductive portions are arranged at positions in the knob where are closer to the detection surface than the first conductive portion. A conductive path electrically connects the first conductive portion and the second conductive portions.
