Embodiment Construction

[0031] figure 1 is a block diagram of a communication system 100 that includes a mobile station 102 that communicates over a wireless communication network 104 identified as a station. Preferably the mobile station 102 includes a visual display 112 , a keypad 114 and possibly one or more user interfaces (UI) 116 each connected to a controller 116 . Controller 116 is also coupled to radio frequency (RF) transceiver circuitry 108 and antenna 110 .

[0032] Typically, controller 116 may be implemented as a central processing unit (CPU) running operating system software in a memory component (not shown). In general, the controller 116 controls the overall operation of the mobile station 102 , typically performing signal processing operations related to communication functions in the RF transceiver circuitry 108 . Controller 116 interfaces with device display 112 to display received information, stored information, user input, and the like. Keypad 114, which may be a telephone-t...

Abstract

Method and user interface for controlling an apparatus are provided. At least one dynamic bar is provided for displaying on a main screen of a graphical user interface for controlling the apparatus. Each dynamic bar is associated with respective one or more interfaces for applications and/or functions provided by the apparatus and each dynamic bar has a pop-up interface for providing at least one of preview information determined from information managed by the applications and/or functions and links to invoke said respective interfaces.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to communication devices and, in particular, to a graphical user interface for controlling such devices. Background technique [0002] As the communication services available on wireless mobile devices proliferate, producing a single device that excels at a variety of different functions has become increasingly complex. Many critics claim that wireless telephone devices can never make good handheld personal digital assistants (PDAs) and that handheld PDAs can never make good wireless phones. It is also claimed that only teenagers use Instant Messaging (IM) service or Short Message Service (SMS) to exchange messages with friends and relatives and such users should have completely different wireless mobile devices. However, many users of wireless handheld devices desire to have multiple services and functions on a single device. [0003] Presenting multiple services and functions to a user on a single wireless mo...
