A system and method for guiding consumers through category-based transactions leads consumers through the creation of registries or shopping lists by displaying a group of items in a series of categories, and selecting one or more of the items within the categories. A user's progress in creating the registry may be displayed in a persistent menu bar that remains displayed on an interface as the user advances from one category to another. The systems and methods may be utilized by one or more users to create an electronic baby registry or wedding registry, to prepare for any event, or to enhance any category-based shopping experience at an online marketplace.

The invention is directed to a system and method of observing actions performed on a computer and inferring relationships between objects based on information corresponding to the observed actions. Relationships between the objects may be determined based on usage information and a usage pattern may be generated if the usage information recurs a selected number of times in a predetermined period of time. When a usage pattern is generated, objects may be automatically launched, icons may be automatically presented to users, and/or menu bars may be automatically configured based on established profiles.

An exemplary method includes a media service user interface system 1) providing a media service graphical user interface (“GUI”) for display, 2) detecting user input to launch a user interface customization mode, 3) launching the user interface customization mode, 4) receiving user input defining a customization of the GUI, 5) implementing the customization, and 6) exiting the user interface customization mode. In certain examples, the GUI may include a main menu bar that includes a set of menu objects representing a set of feature modules of the media service and a menu bar management object, the customization mode may be launched in response to a user selection of the menu bar management object included in the main menu bar, and the customization may be of the main menu bar. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed.

The invention relates to a fast operation method and device and a terminal. The method comprises the steps of determining that an application program meets a preset menu bar display condition; displaying a menu bar on an interface on which an icon of the application program is located and setting a fast operation item associated with an operation command of the application program in the menu bar; and when the fast operation item in the menu bar is triggered, executing an operation command corresponding to the triggered fast operation item through the application program. According to the fast operation method and device and the terminal, the operation steps of a user are reduced and the operation efficiency is improved.

A method and an apparatus for operating a graphic menu bar and a recording medium using the same, suitable for a portable electronic device having a touch screen, are provided. First, a graphic menu bar is provided, which includes M graphic items arranged in sequence, where M is a positive integer. Next, the touch screen is divided into N display blocks along a coordinate axis direction for displaying N connected graphic items in graphic menu bar, where N is a positive integer smaller than M. When the touch screen detects a touch signal in display blocks and the touch signal is moved toward the coordinate axis direction for a first displacement, the graphic menu bar displayed on the touch screen is moved toward a direction opposite to the coordinate axis direction for a second displacement, and the second displacement is equal to the product of the first displacement and (M−N)/N.

In a computer employing a graphical user interface (GUI), a method for displaying controls in command bars, which replace conventional menu bars and toolbars. Command bars employ a unified data structure that allows all types of controls to be included in both menu-like command bars and toolbar-like command bars. Command bars may be customized by dragging controls from a list of available commands or from another command bar. By not restricting the types of controls that can appear in each command bar, controls may be grouped to associate drop down menu controls with pushbutton controls. Menu-like command bars and toolbar-like command bars may be merged in a way that provides an intuitive and advantageous listing of commands. Menu popups may be torn off using a clearly indicated drag handle.

The invention relates to a structure for main menu interfaces of cellphones and other electronic devices and the forming method, belonging to the fields of mobile communication and related equipment manufacture, comprising: (1) using layout manager to create a grid window, and the layout manager creates multiple display regions of a size the same as that of the image in the middle of the window by setting corresponding parameters, and each region corresponds to a functional module; (2) setting the selected and unselected pictures corresponding to each module in a group to add to the corresponding display region; the layout manager automatically selects multiple unselected icons and a selected icon to add to the corresponding multiple display regions, and arranges them in turn into the display regions of the main menu from the top down and from the left to the right; and (3) arranging display title bar, menu bar and corresponding characters to compose the basic interface of the main menu.

The invention provides a method for building self-service client terminals based on Internet browser. The method comprises steps as follows: employing the network communication technique and the encryption technique; performing the integrative supervision and control of self-service terminals, involving network connections Management, system resource management, input/output management, equipment supervision and security settings; building the Internet browser-based B/S architecture software for smooth transition to the self-service tax terminal; and providing the IE browser filtration function to the self-service client terminal of the tax control machine.
