Abstract
A radiotelephone has a display that efficiently presents information such as lists and text fields. For each list, the display presents a title message with unique identification markings an end-of-list indicator , and a dynamic scroll indicator to indicate scrolling directions. A context-sensitive symbol is displayed whenever a context sensitive menu is available for a highlighted item. A search function is incorporated to allow expert users to quickly find information. A notepad feature allows the most recent string of user input data to be stored and recalled so that the data is not accidentally appended to subsequently entered data.
Description
The present invention relates to graphical user interface, especially for the user interface of mobile radiotelephone.
Along with popularizing of the portable communication device such as mobile radiotelephone and wireless personal digital assistant, the user of equipment needs graphical user user interface more directly perceived and effective (GUI).New user does not think must to spend a lot of times to understand complicated user interface; New and experienced user wish to effectively utilize the user interface of input action.Yet, the small size display screen restrictions on the radio telephone GUI designer's creativity, and limited the picture cues that are used for wireless telephonic GUI at present.In addition, the type of graphical cues and its display mode are helping the user to guide many menus and are only helping within limits aspect the text field of reception and emission in radio telephone system usually.When attempting browsing on the small wireless phone display screen information mazy, the user will soon get lost.
At present, there are not several manufacturers to make full use of the mode of visible feedback (graphic element) as and guiding user directed by the screen user interface of mobile radiotelephone.In Operability Testing, if do not provide some additional indications on display screen, most of user is difficult to identification repertory or option.The user then can not correctly suppose in spendable possible input selection preset time arbitrarily.Can not discern existing form and input option and hinder the user and understand relevant radio telephone menu/data scrolling and menu structure substantially.This has produced obvious influence to user performance aspect used time of data incoming task and the error rate relevant with data access finishing.Operability Testing has also disclosed the context-sensitive menu that additional function need be provided for the project that the user is designated as present highlight expressly, understanding existing of additional function.
Most of user interface based on figure adopts one or more contextual features, and for example current display screen is with respect to the position of bigger form or the text field, or response strokes the scrolling data line.When manufacturer is provided to contextual feature in the user interface really, but have to other user interface function is traded off.For example, reduce available soft key quantity, thereby force user's pick list of rolling, even so that carry out the frequent inputs of using of great majority.
Therefore, need a kind of the embodiment to constitute and the wireless telephone user interface of various contextual features that function the interconnects visible feedback of graphic element (for example by), so that this user interface is more directly perceived and effective than any existing wireless telephone user interface.In addition, the user interface that needs the mistake amount that a kind of input that reduces because of the people causes.Also need to provide a kind of user of permission to know user interface at the available all possible input option of special time.
Wireless telephonic Operability Testing shows that also the user is difficult to enter data into wireless telephonic " telephone directory ".In addition, manufacturer be new hand or experienced user special its wireless telephonic user interface, for example be new hand special wieldy user interface and for the expert user special concerning new hand user interface intuitively not.
For example, when input during data, all manufacturers adopt needs user's sequential processes by a series of data clauses and subclauses screens or editing machine step by step.For example, in phonebook function, the user must at first import name, presses ENTER then, imports telephone number then, presses ENTER then, imports the position then.Because the data that user interface process can not be given the prompting of an editing machine that will occur later at the editing machine of current demonstration of user and also do not have positive feedback to show imports previously are by successful execution, the user is easy to lose in this processing.
Finish this task because the user must browse by hierarchical organization and lick a numerical tabular, the processing of the phone preference of setting wireless phone is very loaded down with trivial details.In a kind of application of known systems, cell phone manufacturer has been avoided this problem by forming a plane menu that does not comprise numerous characteristics.Because it is different with other cell phone that the cell phone of a feature richness can be set a cell phone, so this is undesirable.In the another kind of known applications of prior art, cell phone manufacturer has designed a kind of by providing " shortcut " to allow the user interface of rapid access features.Yet, for new hand,, shortcut do not understand expansion how to carry out above-mentioned task by normal long-range order because not being the user, and new hand can not know this shortcut.
Therefore, need a kind of mobile telephone user interface that has the input data and set the direct-vision method of phone preference.This intuitively interface will provide and be easy to the phone that new user uses.In addition, need a kind of embodiment to allow for the wireless telephone user interface importing data and set preferential method of being used to that more experienced user increases function.
In a kind of application of prior art, cell phone has adopted the characteristic that is called as notepaper.The numeral that notepaper allows user's input to occur on cellular display screen subsequently; Also can store this numeral, till the user manually removes it.Therefore, if the user begins to import telephone number, but call is not sent in decision subsequently, and he may forget the numeral of manual deletion input.After the specific time cycle, will delete these numerals with the saving electric energy from display screen, but numeral is stored in the notepaper still.When the user begins input digit later on when sending new call, can on display screen, see the numeral of storing in the notepaper, and the numeral of new input will be added in the notepaper numeral to.Can cause input like this and transfer to wrong telephone number, thereby cause confusion and injure to the user.Therefore, need a kind of new mode to store the numeral of input, in the information of newly importing after it can not added to automatically.

During information row that the information row that any in the various information tables of current demonstration once can provide on comprising than display screen is Duoed, dynamically what provide is that what any in various tables part has multiple profile to scrolling mark 308 according to current on the display screen 208.For example, when showing header message 300 (Fig. 3 A), dynamically scrolling mark 308 is the arrows that point to downwards, is directed downwards to indicate possible scrolling.The user can press down enter key another part with the table that inserts current demonstration.Should point out that in Fig. 3 A, the last term 320 of the not current demonstration of highlight is used for selecting.
How Fig. 3 B can move highlight bar 304 with level and smooth scrolling speed when being illustrated in the last term 320 that shows header message 300 and the not current demonstration of highlight.The user is sustainable to press down enter key 233 so that the next item down 320 of the current demonstration of order highlight.Only show two owing to current in the example shown in Fig. 3 B, press down enter key 233 and will make highlight bar 304 move down the also last term 320 of the current demonstration of highlight, as shown in the figure.The user can press enter key so that the last item of the current demonstration of order highlight.Therefore should point out that there is not the context-sensitive menu in the last term 320 for current demonstration, when the last term of the current demonstration of highlight, not occur context-sensitive symbol 306 on the display screen 208.
Should point out, since highlight the next item down 320 of current demonstration, dynamically scrolling mark 308 is upwards towards the top 302 of display 208 and the arrow that points to towards bottom 324 both directions of display screen 208 downwards, is upper and lower both direction so that indicate possible scrolling direction.When the possible scrolling direction of dynamic scrolling mark 308 indications when being upper and lower, show header message 300, and the last term of the current demonstration of highlight, press enter key 231 and will make highlight bar 304, with the last item of the current demonstration of highlight to the top of display screen 208 302 vertical moving highlight bars.
When showing the last term 320 of header message 300 and the current demonstration of highlight, shown in Fig. 3 B, the sustainable enter key 233 of pressing down of user rolls out the top 302 of display screen 208 and will new bottom 324 volumes from display 208 goes up display screen 208 by the item that will topmost show and makes the item of current demonstration lick display screen 208 vertically upward.Project is with level and smooth scrolling speed scrolling.During with level and smooth scrolling speed scrolling, can read the scrolling project of current demonstration in current items displayed basically.
Fig. 3 D has enumerated how to provide bottom any in the various tables on display screen 208.When on display screen 208, providing bottom any in the various tables, provide end of list (EOL) mark 340 in the bottom 324 of display screen 208.When display list end mark 340, dynamically scrolling mark 308 is arrows that are directed upwards towards, to indicate possible scrolling direction upwards.In the illustrated embodiment, the end of list (EOL) mark is a horizontal line, and when the display list end mark, dynamic scrolling mark 308 is one and has the arrow that is directed upwards towards that is connected to horizontal upward arrow afterbody 344.
Fig. 3 C has enumerated how to provide middle part any in the various tables on display screen 208.When not showing header message 300 and end of list (EOL) mark 340, dynamically scrolling mark 308 is upwards towards the top 302 of display screen 208 and the arrow that points to towards bottom 324 both directions of display screen 208 downwards, is upper and lower both direction so that indicate possible scrolling direction.When the possible scrolling direction of dynamic scrolling mark 308 indications when being upper and lower, the user is sustainable to press down enter key 233 (Fig. 2) so that current items displayed scrolled up display screen 208 with level and smooth scrolling speed, and the user is sustainable to press enter key 231 (Fig. 2) so that current items displayed licks display screen 208 downwards with level and smooth scrolling speed.Therefore, dynamically the scrolling mark is upwards towards the top of display screen and the arrow that points to towards the bottom both direction of display screen downwards, so that the project after a) showing first of header message and highlight, or b) when not showing header message and end of list (EOL) mark, possible scrolling direction is upper and lower.
For minimum wireless phone display, realize that the highlight bar of upper and lower mobile form needs each row of text to have two additional row pixels.If delegation's text is seven pixel height, a line of text then needs nine pixels so that highlight bar not with the text imbricate.Therefore, the triplex row form needs 27 row pixels.For making this influence minimum, in an alternative embodiment, highlight bar is positioned at wireless phone display middle part and can not scrolling.
Fig. 4 illustrates when display screen 208 once can provide all items in the table, how to provide any in the various tables on display screen 208.In this example, provide header message 300 at the top 302 of display screen 208.Static scrolling mark 400 is static vertical lines of linking header message 300, and end of list (EOL) mark 340 is linked static scrolling mark 400.The user can press down enter key 233 with the next item down 404 of the current demonstration of highlight or press enter key 231 so that move on the highlight bar 304 and last 402 of the current demonstration of highlight.
Fig. 5 is the example that utilizes the wireless phone display of small-sized dynamic scrolling mark.On some wireless phone display based on the non-Latin alphabet, the amount of pixels of every row is limited to the visual feedback quantity that can provide along the lateral parts of wireless phone display.An example of this situation is: with compare based on the Latin alphabet of 5 * 7 pixels, for Chinese character, each character needs 16 * 16 pixels.This makes its lateral parts that is difficult in wireless phone display provide dynamic scrolling mark.On the wireless phone display of these types, need provide the feedback of their energy scrolling to the user.For compensating those situations, dynamically the scrolling mark is small-sized dynamic scrolling mark 510.
When possible scrolling direction makes progress, small-sized dynamic scrolling mark 510 is upward arrows 514, when possible scrolling is directed downwards, small-sized dynamic scrolling mark 510 is following arrows 512, when possible scrolling direction when being upper and lower, small-sized dynamic scrolling mark 510 is a following arrow 512 and a upward arrow 514.After this, small-sized dynamic scrolling mark 510 is positioned at the bottom 324 of display screen 208, and is adjacent with context-sensitive symbol 306.
Fig. 6 illustrates in greater detail current items displayed and licks display screen 208 as level and smooth scrolling speed how.Fig. 6 A utilizes the header message 300 at the top 302 of display screen 208 to be illustrated in any top in the various tables that provide on the display screen 208.Current on the display screen 208 that provide is first of table 600 and table 602 second, and highlight bar 304 is just second of highlight table 602.Therefore dynamically these unique possible scrollings are directed downwards herein, but can scroll up highlight bar 304 first with highlight table 600, and scrolling mark 308 is directional arrows up and down.In addition, because the context-sensitive menu can context-sensitive symbol 306 occur for second use of the table 602 of highlight on display screen 208.
Fig. 6 B illustrates the beginning of scrolling action when the user continues to press down enter key 233 (Fig. 2).Top 302 by header message 300 being rolled out display screen 208 and the 3rd bottom 324 volumes from display screen 208 of table 604 are gone up display 208 make current items displayed lick display screen 208 vertically upward.Dynamically the profile of scrolling mark 308 changes over upwards towards the top 302 of display screen 208 and the arrow that points to towards 324 liang of directions in bottom of display screen 208 downwards.These projects are with level and smooth scrolling speed scrolling, so that can fully read current items displayed during the scrolling action.
When fully Fig. 6 C illustrates the 3rd of highlight table 604 and be used for thus selecting of highlight bar 304.This moment, if the user discharges enter key 233 (Fig. 2) down, scrolling will stop.If the user keeps pressing down enter key 233, the next item down that scrolling will roll out the top 302 of display screen and table with first of table 600 from bottom 324 volumes of display screen upward display screen 208 continue.In this example, because the 3rd of table 604 do not have relevant context-sensitive menu, context-sensitive symbol 306 does not appear on the display screen 208.
When the user continues to press when going up enter key 231 (Fig. 2), the level and smooth scrolling of enumerating among level and smooth scrolling in the opposite direction and Fig. 6 is similar.When the user continues to press when going up enter key 231, the item that bottommost shows rolls out the bottom 324 of display screen 208, and display screen 208 is gone up from top 302 volumes of display screen 208 by new projects.
In addition, the user can be by pressing enter key 231 and following enter key 233 and after this discharging this enter key rather than continue to press these keys step by step by the project in any in the various tables.For example, make the item that shows roll out the top 302 of display screen 208 topmost, and new projects occur from the bottom 324 of display screen 208 and can make the project the table scroll up one by pressing and discharging enter key down then.
The various tables that provide on the display screen also can comprise the project of being made up of the multiline text field.For example, the multiline text field can be the message that is received by radio telephone, multirow explanation or instruction (help command of the characteristic of for example relevant how operate wireless phone), or one group of information (for example about someone multirow personal information) by the telephone directory options access about the individual.Also can use the form display format of enhancing to provide the multiline text field.
How Fig. 7 can provide the multiline text field on display screen 208 if having enumerated.For example, but the user can show the form of options, and the user selects " receiving message " then.Fig. 7 A is the demonstration of the first reception message.Provide and the corresponding header message 300 of the first reception message at the top 302 of display screen 208.Because shown the top of the first reception message, dynamically scrolling mark 308 is arrows that point to downwards, is directed downwards with the scrolling that expresses possibility.Give first row of text 700 and second row of text 702 on the display screen 208.
In the illustrated embodiment, do not provide the highlight bar that is used for the first reception message on the display screen.Some other multiline text fields can further have selectable, come highlight at least a portion multiline text field so that provide highlight bar on display screen.
If Fig. 7 B illustrates the user and presses down enter key 233, the row of text licks display screen, and manifesting more line of text, and the existing profile that changes dynamic scrolling mark 308 is upper and lower both direction to express possibility in the scrolling direction.If the user continues to press down enter key 233, being about to of header message and text with the vertical display screen 208 that rolls out of level and smooth scrolling speed, so that on display screen 208, provide the third line of text 704, the fifth line 708 of the fourth line of text 706 and text 708.
Fig. 7 C is illustrated in and arrives first bottom that receives message behind the further scrolling.Change the profile of dynamic scrolling mark 308, receive the possible scrolling direction of text message upwards to represent first, and provide end of list (EOL) mark 340 in the bottom 324 of display screen 208.
Even the scrolling direction that dynamic scrolling mark 308 expresses possibility upwards, experienced wireless telephone user will be appreciated that by pressing down the enter key 233 next message that receives of access rapidly.In this example, dynamically scrolling mark 308 is being represented the possible scrolling direction of multiline text field (for example first receiving message) of current demonstration.Therefore, if when the end of list (EOL) mark 340 of the first reception message occurring, the user presses down enter key 233, and display will be rolled onto second and receive message.
It is second to receive the title of message now that Fig. 7 D illustrates header message 300, and provides second receive the second capable of first row of text 716 of message and text 718 on display 208.Change the profile of dynamic scrolling mark 308 once more, be directed downwards with the scrolling that expresses possibility.If the user is enter key 231 on this presses, display screen will change over the content that provides among Fig. 7 C.
Strengthen and to turn over/the preceding function of turning over after GUI also has the page, make the page down to next group information, or the user turns over enter key 292 (Fig. 2) before can pressing and makes the page upward to last one group of information so that the user turns over enter key 290 (Fig. 2) after can pressing.Turn over behind the page/the preceding function of turning over allows the user to lick information with the normal scrolling faster speed than level and smooth scrolling speed.In the illustrated embodiment, turn over after enter key 290 (Fig. 2) and before turn over enter key 292 (Fig. 2) and be represented as in a plurality of enter keies 206 (Fig. 2) two.Obviously, to those skilled in the art, can or or even turn over enter key after enter key is not used as on the same group and before turn over the enter key function other key in a plurality of enter keies 206.
Fig. 8 has enumerated the function of search that is used in combination with dynamic scrolling mark 308.Function of search is to allow more experienced user to guide the project of form to search for expert's characteristic of a specific project fast.Function of search allows the user to press and the corresponding enter key of desirable letter, so that the form of current demonstration jumps to first project with the form of desired letter beginning of current demonstration automatically, show then and first of the form that begins with desirable letter of the current demonstration of highlight.For example, in Fig. 8 A, on display screen 208, provide the header message 300 of particular table.This table is a telephone meter, its each be with memory 112 in the relevant name of telephone number stored.Dynamically the scrolling that expresses possibility of scrolling mark 308 is directed downwards, and highlight bar 304 is just first of highlight table 800.
In the illustrated embodiment, first of table 800 is name " ADAMS " and begins with alphabetical A.Therefore, the project in the alphabet sequence establishment table, second in the table 801 is " BAKER ".If the user wishes to find first letter in the On Behalf Of The Name with the people of letter " T " beginning or the telephone number of mechanism, the user only presses corresponding with tee in a plurality of enter keies 206 key (usually, be distributed on the standard telephone keypad on the enter key of number 8).
