Problems solved by technology

However, if there are thousands of selectable candidates, it takes a lot of time to generate the list, and the user has to operate the operating parts many times to reach the desired candidate in the list
This may even make operability worse compared to conventional

Embodiment Construction

[0084] A STB (set top box set-top box) according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0085]

[0086] figure 1 is a diagram showing the structure of the STB 1 .

[0087] STB 1 is connected to antenna 4 , network 5 and display device 2 . STB 1 has such hardware as: tuner 11, TS decoder 12, AV decoder 13, synthesis processing unit 14, OSD controller 15, CPU 16, RAM 17, modem 18, remote controller interface (I / F) 19. ROM 20, reader / writer 21, DVD drive 22, and HDD 23.

[0088] The hardware is controlled by the CPU 16 executing a control program stored in the ROM 20 or the HDD 23, and the STB 1 realizes such functions as a GUI function, a digital broadcast receiving function, an Internet communication function, a memory card read / write function , DVD read / write function, content playback / execution function and content recording function. Here, the contents are images (still images and moving images), musi...

Abstract

Provided is a user interface apparatus with improved operability thereby allowing a desired alternative to be selected from a plurality of alternatives more smoothly than by conventional techniques. When an instruction is received from a user to display a contents selection reception screen, eight contents corresponding to eight ordinal ranks are selected from among managed contents at intervals of n / 8, and are set as selectable alternatives, and a table is created in which the ordinal ranks of the eight selectable alternatives are corresponded with key codes respectively, where each key coderepresents a press directed to a corresponding one eight press sensors. Based on the created table, a GUI screen is displayed for receiving selection of one of the ordinal ranks. Upon reception of ordinal-rank selection , a set of alternatives in a predetermined number including an alternative corresponding to the selected ordinal rank are displayed as a list, where the predetermined number of alternatives in the set are consecutive in terms of ordinal ranks. When a user selects a desired alternative from the list by operating members 31, the selection reception processing is ended. The user may also scroll through the alternatives by operating the operation member 31.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a user interface technology for receiving a selection from candidates respectively representing objects displayed on a screen according to user operations on an operation part. In particular, the present invention relates to improvements in operability in user interface technology. Background technique [0002] Currently, audio-visual equipment (AV equipment) that can obtain various contents via various media has been developed. Examples of content are images (still images and moving images), music, web pages and applications. An example of the AV equipment is an HDD-mounted DVD recorder (Digital Versatile Disk Drive-mounted recorder). [0003] Such AV equipment must have a function for allowing a user to select one of content stored in recording media (including HDD and DVD) and broadcast content. Generally, a GUI (graphical user interface) of the menu interaction type realizes this function by displaying content ca...
