Abstract

Techniques for quick selection from an ordered list include dividing all items in the ordered list into current groups. Each current group includes a different range of the items. A corresponding plurality of icons for the plurality of current groups is presented substantively simultaneously on a display screen. One corresponding icon for each current group indicates a range of items included in the current group. In response to receiving input that indicates a particular icon corresponding to a particular group of the plurality of current groups, all items included in the particular group are divided into a plurality of next current groups. Each next current group includes a different range of the items included in the particular group. The next current group replaces the previous current group; thus, a corresponding plurality of icons for the plurality of next current groups is presented substantively simultaneously on the display screen.

Description

Background technique [0001] On handheld information processing devices, such as personal digital assistants (PDAs) and cellular telephones, the user is often prompted to select an item from an ordered list, such as an alphabetical list of contacts or a list of purchased items (including groceries) or entry, or select an event or date from a chronological list of events or dates.

The user then additionally operates the handheld device to select the displayed item. These user operations typically require the user's eyes to focus on the display screen until both operations are complete and at least one of the user's hands is continuously engaged to operate the handheld device. This can be dangerous when the user is performing other actions, such as walking, exercising, driving, or operating equipment. Content...
