Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to consumer electronic devices, and more particularly, to user customization of menus for consumer electronic devices. Background technique [0002] Today's consumer electronic devices include multiple features and functionality, which often require a graphical user interface with many layers of menus. As the number of features increases, the burden of learning how to navigate through menus to access these features and functionality falls on the user. Due to the number of menu layers and corresponding options provided at each layer, sometimes the user may have to navigate a series of menu screens until the intended target screen is displayed. Navigating through multiple screens implemented in a hierarchical menu structure can be very inconvenient. Therefore, it would be helpful to the user if he could design and define the structure of the menu layers. Contents of the invention [0003] The present invention contempla...
