Embodiment Construction

[0031] According to the present invention, a user can control one or more media data processing devices (also referred to as "media devices"), such as media data storage devices (such as hard drives, Internet storage servers, volatile flash memory cards (such as "memory sticks") equipment)), TV, video camera, DVD player, etc. In order to control one or more devices, the user specifies operations on the media content. The operation may involve a media device, such as editing an image stored in a camera. In another example, the operation involves two or more media devices, such as a video-on-demand service for viewing on a TV (at the user's location) a particular movie stored on a remote server.

[0032] This operation requires selecting at least two items (one item in each set) from at least two item sets respectively. For example, editing an image stored in a camera requires selecting the camera icon among the icons of other media devices and selecting an editing option amon...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method of controlling at least one media data processing device (181-187), the method comprising the step of: (410) displaying a first set of first items (310, 510) and a first set of first items (310, 510) on display means (120) A second set of two items (330, 550), wherein the arrangement of the first and second items on the display is variable, (420) displaying an indicator (360) on the display device, the indicator being used to indicate A predetermined arrangement of a specific item (340, 515) of the first item and a specific item (350, 555) of the second item, based on a specific item of the first item and a specific item of the second item The combination of items is an operation of at least one device, (430) causing the user to select a specific item (340, 515) of the first item and / or a specific item (350, 555) of the second item, and (450 ) allows forming operations based on the selected first and second items. In one embodiment, a carousel is displayed with specific first and second items. Where the bodies of revolution touch, an operation associated with the respective first and second items is generated.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method allowing control of at least one media data processing device, means for performing the method and a computer program product. Background technique [0002] US2003 / 0107605A1 discloses a graphical user interface for a content device. The interface includes a content source selection menu and a destination menu, wherein the content source selection menu includes a list of source content devices serving as available content sources, and the destination menu includes a list of content devices that can receive content. The interface allows the user to select a specific source or piece of content and a specific purpose. In response to selecting a source content device, a content catalog menu of available content is provided.
