Description

The invention relates to a device for the orderly display, input, output, sorting, control and regulation of data, information, images, graphics, multimedia, programs, functions, operations, control and switching operations with a visible operating area and a non-operating area, not shown.

It's about a device for orderly and clear retrieval of information, entering data, triggering functions and monitoring procedures.

Wherever a selection is made, there are tables, menus, information and function fields, buttons, keyboards, input screens, output windows, signs, instruments, switch names, signposts, actuation codes, and other display, input, output, and triggers.

The most diverse, complicated and mostly incompatible devices are to be found particularly in the communication and information area, as well as in the entire control area. They are part of operating systems and application programs of computers and telephones, of television sets and other media, as well as of monitoring centers, switches, buttons, measuring devices and fittings.

Affected by such devices are very many technical equipment, continue to vehicles and buildings, domestic appliances, play, entertainment and learning devices. Affected are systems that are operated automatically or by hand or other parts of the body, or controlled by speech and noise, or otherwise sensually perceived, often by using pens and keyboards, mouse and other pointing and input devices, or by remote controls or touch screens, but also by switches, buttons, levers, steering wheels, control handles and other aids.

Such selection, dialing, input, display, function and control devices may be used privately, professionally, socially, entrepreneurially, collectively, governmentally, civilian, governmental, military or otherwise.

For these extensive areas of application, there are some control devices, all so far because of too little clarity and uniformity, too many switches and buttons, to complex search and Findungsvorgängen, but especially by their limited amount of information quickly reach their limits and thus often unsettle the users , So far, there is a lack of an almost infinite information and functional capacity, at the same time simple and clear operation, as well as a universal applicability for a variety of tasks, equipment, manufacturers and countries of different language, society and culture.

Alone in the living rooms today almost everywhere now usual four different remote controls for TVs, VCRs, DVD players and digital receiver receivers are typical for less coordinated devices and devices. They do not overwhelm only older people. It lacks, as this example vividly describes, almost everywhere a simple standard that would then like to be universally used and applied.

The object of the invention is to master the ever increasing wealth of information and the desire, especially for young and older people, for faster, easier and more universal operation of display, input, triggering, control and monitoring devices.

The task continues to better satisfy the desire for clear order, for meaningful classification and easy viewing of data volumes and function triggers. As a result, time savings and higher accuracy are usually achieved.

It is also an object of this invention to provide a variety of information, communications and equipment with a quickly learned control, information input and tripping device faster, safer, easier and cheaper to serve.

The object of the invention is, moreover, that it can be used almost everywhere, modified as infinitely as possible and yet maintains a consistent standardized arrangement. In addition, it should be of infinite capacity.

The object of the invention is a modern display, input and control device with a theoretically infinitely large data and functional capacity with simultaneous ease, manageability and manageability of the device and the devices thus influenced.

The object of the invention is also to counteract today's development, to use more and more and smaller and smaller keys or similar control units. Just to get along with as few of them as possible, and to carry out this as handy as possible, should be a feature of the invention.

The object of the invention is the application of a multipurpose display, input and control system, which contributes to a promising device for a future better mastery of all previously and subsequently described operations and applications.

And the object of the invention is, not least, a great international economic success of the invention, especially to provide additional development opportunities through its worldwide dissemination as a possible new standard to equally poor and rich countries.

To achieve this object, the invention in connection with the preamble of claim 1, characterized in that the operating area input and / or output and / or switching and / or functional units than at least one level has that the operating area control and / or or control units as a control part for the operation and / or selection of the input and / or output and switching and / or functional units or for navigation within the at least one level, and that the boundaries of the operating area are designed so displaceable that input and / and output and / or switching and / or functional units are removable by means of actuation of control and / or control units from the operating area and / or the same can be integrated into the operating area by means of actuation of the control and / or control units.

The Endless Navigator solves all tasks safely, economically and quickly controllable, and fulfills many other requirements of the above and following statements.

The most important benefit of the Endless Navigator is its limitless capacity.

Another advantage of the invention is its minimization to its operable or visible range.

The Endless Navigator always maintains a clear order and consistency, despite different and infinite information and functional fullness.

The operation of the Endless Navigator is very easy and quick to learn from all cultures, age groups, development and population strata.

It works to enter data or records, as well as to read information and contexts, also multilingual and with all possible fonts and symbols.

Additional direct search and find operations can be added to the Endless Navigator. This abbreviates in some cases the usual navigations through levels.

The inputs and information may as well be audible, tactile, haptic or otherwise performable and perceptible, which will also cover the area of use for disabilities, or, for example, its use in complete darkness.

With it, functions can be triggered or influenced automatically, automatically or in each case, automatic functions can be switched on or off and monitoring can be performed.

Another benefit of an Endless Navigator, which for example displays, manages and manages an infinite number of instruments, is its ability to instantly hide these tools from unauthorized views and only to reveal them again after password entry or other security levels. Of course, this also applies to other display, input, output and function variants.

It can house an unlimited number of visual switches, push buttons and other triggering devices in a limited space, which can appear in the visible area depending on the situation and can be operated near or far.

Another advantage is its ability to always operate on the same system, despite the different creative appearance of the visible area and the arrangement of fields.

The Endless Navigator is also particularly suitable for computers and other devices with display, especially as a version quarter circle, actually a quarter-circle detail, in the upper left corner of a screen, for a variety of operating systems as well as for all applications and Internet sites and their Window.

The advantage of being able to find the Endless Navigator again and again in all screen work will considerably simplify the work and operations.

Another advantage is the possible operation of the Endless Navigator with all current and future control devices and devices. Whether device-specific buttons, screen mouse, keyboard, touch screen, pens, remote controls, sticks, language, switches, buttons or other.

It can be used in so many fields of application and would thus make technical and other things of daily life more compatible. However, it is equally suitable for further optimizing manufacturing, trade, transport, logistics and administrative processes.

The Endless Navigator is able to perform a standard worldwide feature and will bring benefits to many other facilities and people.

The Endless Navigator, initially internationally known as the Endless Navigator, mainly consists of a directly operable area and a non-operable area. The operable area is usually changeable within its limits, usually in itself displaceable and expandable by further levels, the inoperable area is infinitely large and always automatically adapts to the operable area.

Each active element in a level either triggers a function or opens another, usually subordinate level. At the latest the active element of the last possible level shows the result of the selection. In addition, visible elements facilitate possible corrections before triggering. After the respective release process, the Endless Navigator is normally reduced to its minimum.

In the case of the most widely used visual variant of the invention of the endless navigator, a distinction is then made, mutatis mutandis, between a visible region and an infinitely large invisible region.

The visible area consists of selectable information, input and / or output fields, switching or functional units, referred to below as levels. These include as few direct or remote control and control units, which are either usually located at the beginning of internal fields or other components of the Endless Navigator, or are located directly on external control devices, so that the visible area shows only levels In idle state is the Endless Navigator only minimal or not visible.

So. only the operable area is visible, the unobservable area is invisible. Moving a level within its scope can create an infinite number of fields. The fields can have different shapes depending on the system.

In the visible area, a distinction is made between control areas for the own functions of the endless navigator and the level, depending on the device consisting of display, input, output and functional areas.

Especially in the IT industry, much work is done with input devices, such as mice, etc., so that hidden and hidden control surfaces are usually required on a display screen. However, they could also be partially or completely eliminated if, for example on a remote control, there are enough buttons for controlling the Endless Navigator.

The indispensable display, input, output and function areas for the Endless Navigator form one or more levels, of which a certain number are always visible. On a curve or a straight line, these can be moved to both sides, so that again and again new ones appear in the visible area and unnecessary ones can disappear.

The Endless Navigator produces an infinite number of control, switching, input, output or information surfaces. They can appear by a signal "on" or "high" or after activation of an activated field and disappear again, but also be controlled differently. To shift the visible range of an active level, two signals are sufficient, such as "forward" and "backward".

Activated surfaces preferably change their appearance and then trigger something after their re-activation. Only one surface can be activated in a level. When a function finally triggers, the Endless Navigator usually "flips" to the surface or disappears completely, as in the case of voice or remote controls.

By subdividing into subregions, an endless navigator can become even more clear depending on the system. In this case, the level activated with the signal "on" consists mainly of buttons and is referred to as level one. Each activated surface of level one then activates a matching level two, which with "before" or "back" could also be infinitely large and can be left again via the signal "high". The surfaces of level two have thereby disappeared again.

Another activated area of level one would indicate another level two, which in turn could be infinite. The "before" or "back" controls of the Endless Navigator are always active for the level that is currently the last one. If a level disappears above the signal "high", the control "before" or "back" automatically works for the now visible last level.

According to the same system, several levels of the Endless Navigator could arise, which would also be infinitely large again. For example, a marked area in the area of level two makes a Level Three corresponding to that area visible. This too can then become infinite via "before" or "back". The marking of one of these surfaces in level three triggers the final action. This could be, for example, calling a window or website on a computer, or pressing a facility switch, or displaying any information, or providing input and much more. If there were still a fourth or further level, then these would be visible first and the corresponding actions then only from there triggered.

Because each level can be infinitely large in the Endless Navigator, too many levels sometimes make no sense, especially as they would then take up too much space on the display or other space area. If, however, as many variations as possible are to be displayed at the same time, especially in the case of the quarter-circle variant, seven and more levels are certainly useful, for example in the complete display of the complete alphabet.

The function assignments of the Endless Navigator correspond to the device in which the Endless Navigator is used. Normally, all level surfaces disappear when the corresponding function is triggered or terminated. The signal "high" can be used to leave a level beforehand. The surfaces of this level are then no longer visible. The same result could be achieved even with a mouse operation by clicking on previous levels. Finally, only the surface "on", or with pure remote control nothing at all from the Endless Navigator visible.

In order to get directly to a specific trigger, display or input area of the Endless Navigator faster, one or more search or input areas may still belong to the Endless Navigator. There may be, in some cases even better overview in the visible area, even more levels are provided, but then would take away too much of the underlying surface optically. This could be particularly disturbing for a computer desktop.

In a computer or other screen devices, the quarter-circle-visible Endless Navigator is particularly suitable in a 90 ° sector, which can fit into one of the four corners of a display, a program or website or a window. Since the scrolling functions are usually to the right and to the bottom, this is the optimal place for the Endless Navigator, version quadrant, the corner top left.

The Endless Navigator can display, enter, output, and trigger infinite information. It can initially be limited to a certain number of visible surfaces, but can be expanded without changing the concept. The Endless Navigator can have one or more levels. Levels can be added later without having to use a basically new Endless Navigator. At the mostly fixed maximum visible range, additional levels could then displace the first available temporarily. It also combines the functions of a menu with those of an infinitely large database as well as unlimited event possibilities.

The Endless Navigator is clear and easy to use. He manages with few functional surfaces and is nevertheless unlimited. It can have display, input, output, trigger switch and other areas and thus be universally applicable. Standardization, regardless of the device type and manufacturer, could provide certain basic functions of the Endless Navigator, similar to today's constant arrangement of keys on a keyboard. Computer operating systems and applications alike could have vendor-independent uniform basic menus via Endless Navigator. Televisions screens and vehicle taps could use the Endless Navigator remotely or voice controlled. Database inputs and queries are possible with the Endless Navigator as well as status messages, switching or function triggers. The following drawings and descriptions of this patent application initially focus on the Endless Navigator in visual form. But it is also transferable to other sense organs. Speech or tactile controls for the blind are equally applicable to the Endless Navigator as are other special senses in other disabilities.

As a normal case, the change in the direction "before" is shown in the horizontal arrangement to the right, in vertical delegation upwards, in an oblique arrangement up-right and in a round arrangement usually counter-clockwise. The direction "back" is then drawn in the corresponding opposite direction. The directions are of course also interchangeable depending on the application of the Endless Navigator.

Of all the possible executions of an Endless Navigator, a systematic selection of the most important versions was made and included in the enclosed "REFERENCE LIST". The designations used there are to be used consistently throughout. It can also be seen from the table which versions have been shown below which figures as an example. For the following descriptions, a "FIGURE LIST" of all figures used herein and a "REFERENCE LIST" of all references used herein are attached. Not in the following texts listed reference numbers are also at any time explainable through these lists.

The most common example in the examples is the version Circular corner-round format. 107 (Ref 107 ) in front. But that does not mean that this version will be the most common in practice. But it is particularly suitable for explaining the functions of the Endless Navigator.

Embodiments and examples of use of the invention as well as the basic function of the invention are briefly explained in the enclosed "FIGURE LIST".

1 shows the principle of the visual endless navigator in the direction "before" relation 8th , The Endless Navigator works in three dimensions 4 . 5 . 6 and in a quasi-fourth as theoretical infinity, which in the drawings is symbolically referred to as a bottomless container 7 is marked.

The visible area reference 1 refers to the dimensions of width 4 and height reference 5 instead, the invisible area is related 2 leads into the depth reference 6 as a third dimension. There is no need to stop there. The depth reference 6 can be expanded without limits and thus refers to the theoretical infinity 7 , In the visible range reference 1 is usually an active element reference 20 selected. The visible range is sufficient 1 not enough, it can be moved indefinitely. He can reference this forward 8th be moved or backward reference 9 ,

2 shows the principle of the visual endless navigator towards "back" relation 9 , The active element reference 20 can trigger direct functions or displays, or call up additional levels, which in turn contain elements to be activated in order to display or trigger something. These levels are also referred to as levels below. Schematically show the 1 and 2 the active level 19 ,

Navigation movements of function, input or output fields, usually combined in one level, could follow any direction or curve, but are preferably rectilinear, oval or circular.

3 shows a schematic diagram of the Endless Navigator with the visible operating area relation 1 and the non-operating area 2 , The operating area reference 1 refers to control units 13 . 14 . 15 . 16 . 17 as a control and control part reference 11 and ten input and / or output and / or switching and / or functional units reference 10 on, which refers in two levels 18 are arranged. About the control units reference 13 . 14 Input and / or output and / or switching and / or functional units reference 10 from the non-operating area reference 2 into the operating area 1 postponed. About the control key reference 15 becomes the active level 18 , selected or another reference in the visible operating area 1 not included level reference 18 appears. About the key cover 16 each level can be decreased. Button reference 18 activates special search window reference 29 , This figure shows the version wide-square format reference 42 of the Endless Navigator with the main dimensions Width Reference 4 and height reference 5 ,

4 shows the same version of the Endless Navigator as 3 but the control and control part is related 11 not directly part of the Navigator section 1 but separately, for example, as part of a remote control.

5 and 6 Show applications for the previous drawings in a display of modern mobile phones reference 158 ,

7 shows an Endless Navigator also in the version wide-square format reference 42 towards "before" reference 8th , The visible area reference 1 is, as in the following drawings, without hatching, the invisible area reference 2 is marked with slashes, as usually in technical drawings usually cuts are shown.

In addition to the dimension width reference 4 is also the dimension height reference 5 visible, noticeable. The Endless Navigator consists of a level reference 21 which in this example has five visible elements and relates to a control and control part 11 , which was once accepted here with five signals.

On a screen, the Endless Navigator could be completely invisible in the initial stage, or only the "on" control panel that is separate here 12 being visible. If this element is activated in any way, the entire control area will appear 11 and a level reference 21 , Since he is the only level here, he is also the active level reference 19 , The respective active element reference 20 of the level could now be related by an action signal "ok" 15 to be triggered. The visible part of the level can be referenced by the signals "before" 13 or "back" reference 14 be moved. After triggering a function, displaying or entering the currently active element, the Endless Navigator may return to its initial state of minimum footprint. But even without triggering an active element 20 this could happen. For this, the control panel would be "high" reference 16 to use or it is also a time-limited automatic conceivable.

8th symbolically shows the reference in the invisible area 2 located dimension depth reference 6 of the Endless Navigator 7 as version wide-square format reference 42 towards "before" reference 8th , This view is only intended to help explain its function in the invisible realm. The theoretical infinity relation 7 theoretically takes the forward reference 8th disappeared elements of the active level reference 19 and releases the corresponding newly visible elements on the other side. Only one element at a time 20 of the level 19 should be active.

9 shows the same device, version wide-square format reference 42 , only in the case of a forward movement of the endless navigator, but the shifting of the visible area reference 1 towards "back" relation 9 , by triggering the corresponding signal reference 14 ,

Shown here is just a level reference 21 , which then always refers to the active level 19 is and offers on its own already infinite possibilities. For a better overview and the easier selection but also several levels are conceivable, each in turn infinitely displaceable. Therefore, the control and control part is related 11 of the Endless Navigator mostly located above the elements of the level. Any subsequent levels would therefore usefully come down. On a screen, this type of endless navigator would preferably be located at the top. A Positioning on the upper left-most edge would even cause the Endless Navigator's only visible field to be at rest in the upper-left corner of a screen and least distracting. Especially when you consider that screen windows usually scroll to the right or to the bottom, the left-up position in the corner is often the cheapest. The more levels you need, the less you can see at the same time from a residual image area, so that a focus on the left-up corner makes sense, too. Later drawings below will show some examples with multiple levels and different versions. The arrangement Left upper corner reference 153 but will be the preferred one.

10 shows the dimension in the invisible area depth reference 6 of the Infinite Navigator version of the wide-square format reference 42 towards "back" relation 9 , Throughout, the theoretical infinity is also referred to here 7 represented with the symbol of a collecting container. Symbolically all displaced fields and functions disappear in this container, and at the same time new ones emerge on the other side.

11 and 12 Show applications for previous drawings each in a display modern mobile phones reference 158 ,

13 shows an Endless Navigator in the high-square format version 64 , towards "before" reference 8th , The control and control part reference 11 is left and the level reference 21 arranged to the right of it. For a screen here would be the most suitable place on the left edge, optimally left-up, for the same reason as previously described. Again, there is the control and control part reference 11 as an example from the function fields "to" reference 12 and "high" reference 6 , "Before" reference 3 and "back" terms 14 , as well as the trigger field "ok" reference 15 , Control and control part reference 11 and level reference 21 are the visible area / operating area reference 1 of the Endless Navigator, highlighted by the fact that there is no hatching.

Right of the control part, for example, again five visible elements of the active level reference 19 arranged, of which an element reference 20 is activated. The dimensions width reference 4 and height reference 5 are in the visible range reference 1 As a shift direction is here "before" reference 8th shown. Additional explanations emerge - as in the following drawings - by further numbers in the drawings and their comparison with the attached list of reference numerals.

14 symbolically indicates the invisible area 2 of the Endless Navigator version of the high-square format reference 64 , towards "before" reference 8th , characterized by almost exclusive hatching. Only the level reference 21 who at the same time refers to the Active Level 19 is symbolically shown in a kind of side view and is related to its Active Field 20 without hatching as a visible area reference 1 quantified. Here also the invisible dimension depth relation appears 6 and the symbolic vessel for the infinity relation 7 ,

15 shows the same device, version high-square format reference 64 , only in the case of a forward movement of the endless navigator, but the shifting of the visible area reference 1 towards "back" relation 9 , by triggering the corresponding signal reference 14 ,

Again, only one level is related 21 drawn. For all drawings, the areas here are only approximately square as an example. They can have any other shape and type, as the following examples will show.

16 symbolically shows mainly the reference in the invisible area 2 located dimension depth reference 6 of the Endless Navigator version of the high-square format reference 64 towards "back" relation 9 ,

17 and 18 Show applications for previous drawings each in a display modern mobile phones reference 158 ,

19 shows an infinite navigator in the version circular-circle reference 96 , towards "before" reference 8th , The control and control part reference 11 is inside, the level reference 21 Outside. As the only level reference 21 this is also the active level reference shown here 19 , Again, the visible area is related 1 shown without hatching, the invisible area with hatching. The visible area reference 1 has the shape circle-circular relation 96 and is related to the invisible area 2 limited by the range / display / sheet limit reference 3 , Instead of the dimension width is here mutatis mutandis the scope reference 4 and instead of height mutatis mutandis the radius reference 5 , To make a handsome circle cut, the control panel is "on" reference 12 completely inside. Further out are controls, such as "high" reference 16 , "Ok" relation 15 , as well as "before" reference 13 and "back" terms 14 , For example, the visible level consists of seven fields, the middle of which is the active element 20 is. This situation is indicated, the level in the direction "before" reference 8th to move. The infinity relation 7 is symbolically marked as a top view. Additional levels would be referred to here with a larger radius than the level shown 21 be provided. In the circular examples of the Endless Navigator, the fields are drawn in a circle. But even here they could have any other possible shape, such as curvy arrangement / curves or straight line / straight or oblique lines at any angle.

20 shows the same device the page previously, version circular-circle reference 96 , only in the case of a forward movement of the endless navigator, but the shifting of the visible area reference 1 towards "back" relation 9 , by triggering the corresponding signal "back" relation 14 ,

21 shows the right half of the symbolic view of the previously described Endless Navigator, the version circular-circle reference 96 for the dimension depth reference 6 , towards "before" reference 8th , Infinity is there again with reference 7 quantified. All other markings correspond to the previous assignments.

22 shows the left half of the symbolic view of the same Endless Navigator, the version circular-circle reference 96 for the dimension depth reference 6 , towards "back" reference 9 , The half-represented theoretical infinity is in each case with reference 7 quantified.

Especially for the round version of the Endless Navigator as a circular arrangement / circles reference 96 with the visible area reference 1 as quarter circle / quarter oval section reference 108 offers as optimum the concentration on the upper left corner. For a screen and its windows, the Endless Navigator should be left-up, especially due to annoying scrolling down and to the right, so that the Endless Navigator can still be visible in its parent display layer. In the case of a page or other surface, there is also the advantage of concealing as little as possible of the background or working surface of its downstream display layer. This special version can be seen again and again in the following pages.

23 shows this particular version of the Endless Navigator, version Circular corner-round reference 107 with the visible area reference 1 as quarter circle / quarter oval section 108 , towards "before" reference 8th , in the following also only called version quarter circle. Of all the visual versions of the Endless Navigator, it appears to be the one that will prevail the most. It could become the standard in general.

For better utilization of the square of a quarter circle cutout reference 107 offers itself to arrange the surface of a quarter circle cutout completely inside. In this example, six panels are related 11 accepted. The field inside is referred to as the "Home" signal / control field 30 denotes, further out the signal / control fields "to" reference 12 and "back up" terms 16 , farther out the signal / control fields "before" reference 13 and "back" terms 14 , as well as "ok" relation 15 , Subsequently, with a larger radius are the fields of the level reference 21 , here only the visible level reference 19 arranged, with the respective circumference of the center circle as dimension width / circumference reference 4 and the radius reference 4 as dimension height / radius reference 5 ,

The visible part Visible area / operating area Reference 1 This Endless Navigator, version quarter circle / quarter oval cutout 107 , is precisely this quarter circle cutout. The invisible part Invisible area (hatching) reference 2 is here completely outside of a conceivable screen or a sheet or other surface, represented by the range / display / sheet boundaries reference 3 , and is thus best isolated. Also in this drawing, the invisible area is related 2 marked by hatching. There is then the dimension depth reference 6 , referring to a symbolic infinity reference 7 , As by the direction of the arrows and by the indicated activation of the control "before" relation 12 marked, the drawing shows the shifting of the active level reference 19 towards "before" reference 8th ,

24 shows the same device, version circles corner-round reference 107 , only in the case of a forward movement of the endless navigator, but the shifting of the visible area reference 1 towards "back" relation 9 , by triggering the corresponding signal "back" relation 14 ,

Although the arrangement of the Endless Navigator is optimally placed in the upper left corner, as stated before, in special cases, of course, the other three corners are possible. These arrangements are in the 19 to 22 displayed. Again, the control fields are "on" terms 12 , "Back up" reference 16 , "Before" reference 13 , "Back" relation 14 and "ok" terms 15 arranged. In the respective middle there is still room for a control panel "Home" reference 30 , At the circumference dimension width / circumference reference 4 is the level reference 19 with an activated field reference 20 and the respective radius reference 4 Dimension height / radius reference 5 to find. An invisible area is not present on this drawing, everything is visible as visible area / operating area reference 1 , The invisible area reference 2 is outside the area of the drawings. All arrangements show here the Endless Navigator in the direction "before" relation 8th ,

25 and 26 , Applications for previous drawings each relate to a display of modern mobile phones 158 ,

27 shows an Endless Navigator, System Circular Corner Circular Reference 107 in the normal upper left corner.

28 shows the same system of an Endless Navigator, but in the upper right corner. On a computer, this arrangement would be problematic because windows and desktops usually change to the right.

29 shows the same system of an Endless Navigator, but in the lower left corner. This variant would be rather unfavorable for a computer, since windows and desktops are usually moved down. A navigator there would rather disturb, even if it would be constantly faded in and out.

30 again shows the Endless Navigator, now in the lower right corner, the most unfavorable place for a computer, as scrolling scroll bars change normal to the right and down the visible area.

The 31 to 34 show the same devices in all four corners of a sheet or a screen, only in the case of a forward motion of the Endless Navigators, but all in the direction "back" relation 9 ,

31 shows the Endless Navigator in the upper left corner. 32 shows the Endless Navigator in the upper right corner. 33 shows the Endless Navigator in the lower left corner. 34 shows the Endless Navigator in the lower right corner.

For the sake of simplicity, only versions with a single level will be referred to here 21 whichever is the only active level reference 19 is. For the presentation of devices with multiple levels later figures will still serve.

35 to 38 , Applications for previous drawings each relate to a display of modern mobile phones 158 ,

39 shows the Endless Navigator, version wide-square format reference 42 , towards "before" reference 8th by triggering the signal reference 13 , again with level one reference 21 as an active level reference 19 but with some extra features. The hatching shows the invisible area as usual. The control fields "to" apply here 12 , "Back up" reference 16 , "Before" reference 13 , "Back" relation 14 and "ok" terms 15 as in the examples above.

In addition, however, there is still a field "search" reference 17 with a corresponding input / read field reference 29 to get right there with halfway known information or functions of a level, without having to work through the levels individually. On the one hand, the human comparative recognition of similar functions and concepts, which should not be underestimated, is then eliminated, which are recognized along with the selected fields and taken into account in decisions, as is normally the case when navigating through levels. On the other hand, via the input / readout field 29 considerable time to be gained.

40 also shows an endless navigator in the direction "before" reference 8th by triggering the signal reference 13 , but from the version Circular corner-round reference 107 , Otherwise, the execution is similar to that of the above Endless Navigator. Again, only one level is related 21 shown with the additional Search field Reference 17 with its input / read field reference 29 , All other designation numbers can be found in the attached list. They apply to most drawings.

41 shows the same device as before, version wide-square format reference 42 with additional field "search" reference 17 , only in the case of a forward movement of the endless navigator, but when moving the visible areas reference 1 towards "back" relation 9 , by triggering the corresponding signal reference 14 ,

42 also shows the same device as before, version circular corner-round reference 107 with additional field "search" reference 17 , only in the case of a forward movement of the endless navigator, but when moving the visible areas reference 1 towards "back" relation 9 , by triggering the corresponding signal reference 14 ,

43 also shows an Endless Navigator, version wide-square format reference 42 , towards "before" reference 8th by triggering the signal reference 13 , But here are two levels provided reference 21 and 22 in the situation that level two reference 22 just called and thus active level reference 19 is, and whose visible area reference 1 as well as at level one theoretically up to the theoretical infinity reference 7 can be moved. So here is the activation of a field in the level one reference 21 a corresponding visible area of the level two reference 22 displayed. Only the activation of a field reference 20 in level two terms 22 then triggers any predetermined function. The Endless Navigator is in the position of the shift of level two towards "before" reference 8th drawn. Otherwise, the identification numbers correspond to those of the drawings before and the list of reference numerals.

44 also shows an endless navigator in the direction "before" reference 8th by triggering the signal reference 13 , but from the version Circular corner-round reference 107 , Otherwise, the execution is similar to that of the above Endless Navigator. Again, two levels are related 21 and 22 shown, and an additional field "search" reference 17 with its input / read field reference 29 ,

45 shows the same device as before, versions wide-square format reference 42 with additional field "search" reference 17 , also with two levels 21 and 22 the latter as an active level reference 19 , only not in case of a forward move of the level two reference 19 but moving the visible areas of the level two reference 21 towards "back" relation 9 , by triggering the corresponding signal reference 14 ,

46 also shows the same device as before, version circular corner-round reference 107 with additional field "search" reference 17 , two levels related 21 and 22 , only in the case of a forward movement of the endless navigator, but when moving the visible areas reference 1 towards "back" relation 9 , by triggering the corresponding signal reference 14 ,

47 also shows an Endless Navigator, version wide-square format reference 42 , towards "before" reference 8th by triggering the signal reference 13 , But here are three levels related 21 . 22 and 23 provided, in the situation that Level Three reference 23 just called and thus active level reference 19 is, and whose visible area reference 1 as with the levels one reference 21 and two reference 21 theoretically up to the theoretical infinity relation 7 can be moved. So here is the activation of a field in the level two reference 22 a corresponding visible area of level three 23 displayed. Only the activation of a field reference 20 in Level Three 23 then triggers any predetermined function. The Endless Navigator is in the position of the shift of level three towards "before" reference 8th drawn. Otherwise, the identification numbers correspond to those of the drawings before and the list of reference numerals.

48 also shows an endless navigator in the direction "before reference 8th by triggering the signal reference 13 , but from the version Circular corner-round reference 107 , Otherwise, the execution is similar to that of the above Endless Navigator. Again, three levels are related 21 . 22 and 23 shown, and an additional field "search" reference 17 with its input / read field reference 29 ,

49 shows the same devices as on the previous page, version wide-square format reference 42 with additional field "search" reference 17 , also with three levels 21 . 22 and 23 , only in the case of a forward movement of the level three, but the shifting of the visible areas reference 1 of the Active Level 19 towards "back" relation 9 , by triggering the corresponding signal reference 14 ,

50 also shows the same device as before, version circular corner-round reference 107 with additional field "search" reference 17 , three levels related 21 . 22 and 23 , only in the case of a forward movement of the endless navigator, but when moving the visible areas reference 1 towards "back" relation 9 , by triggering the corresponding signal reference 14 ,

51 to 60 , Applications for previous drawings each relate to a display of modern mobile phones 158 ,

61 shows only a supplement to an Endless Navigator, version wide-square format reference 42 , towards "before" reference 8th by triggering the signal reference 13 , Here is only the first level reference 21 but then go to the "search" control panel 17 changed. The input / read field reference 29 is activated, becomes the active element 20 and after entering the term usually via the control panel "ok" reference 15 triggered. Is the value or something similar related at the infinity of a level 7 found, so is the acute level reference 19 automatically moved to this area, so that this again about "ok" relation 15 the newly activated field related to the search term 20 triggers. All other reference numbers can be found in the list.

62 also shows an endless navigator in the direction "before" reference 8th by triggering the signal reference 13 , but from the version Circular corner-round reference 107 , Otherwise, the execution is similar to that of the above Endless Navigator. Again, a level is related 21 shown, and an activated field "search" reference 17 with its input / read field reference 29 , which at the same time refers to the Active Element 20 because the search function references via the search panel 17 was called. As with all previous and future drawings of the version quarter circle / quarter oval detail reference 96 be particularly referring to the boundary lines 3 between visible area 1 and invisible area reference 2 pointed. The input / readout fields can be directly part of the Endless Navigator, but can also be located separately in separate control, transmission or input devices. They are then also part of the system of the Infinite Navigator. You are always within the visible range reference 1 ,

63 also shows, as an alternative and as an example of the highly variable execution options of the Endless Navigator, a version of the wide-square format reference 42 , towards "before" reference 8th by triggering the signal reference 13 , In this example, the area control and control part / parts reference 11 only three fields. The inner field can be controlled in two directions like a toggle switch, here for "on" reference 12 and for "back up" terms 16 , Then there are the two fields "before" reference 13 and "back" terms 14 , These three control fields were sufficient here to trigger the most important functions of an endless navigator. Any other arrangement of a control and control unit reference 11 is conceivable fields, switches and buttons with multiple function, simply all human sensory organs could be used, and then more and more functions are automated.

64 also shows an endless navigator in the direction "before" reference 8th by triggering the signal reference 13 , but from the version Circular corner-round reference 107 , Otherwise, the execution is similar to that of the above Endless Navigator. Again, a level is related 21 shown, and the area control panels reference 11 also consists of only three fields reference 12 . 13 and 14 ,

65 shows an endless navigator in the version wide-square format reference 42 with separate control unit 31 , There are three levels related 21 . 22 and 23 displayed with the last active field reference 20 in the active level 19 , which refers to a double control panel 13 and 14 in the control and control part reference 11 within the visible range 1 in the direction of reference 8th or back reference 9 can be moved. The separate control unit further includes a dual control panel reference 12 and 16 for the signals "on" and "up again", as well as the functions "search" reference 17 and "ok" terms 15 , The latter then triggers the final function of the Endless Navigator after entering the levels. The input / readout field can be referenced directly on the visible surface 1 of the Endless Navigator, part of the separate control unit 31 be, or be elsewhere.

66 shows an Endless Navigator in the version circle corner-round reference 107 with separate control unit 31 , Again, the control and control panels are no longer part of the surface of the Endless Navigator, but externally available in appropriate control units. But even the inner visible single field is a level and thus displaceable. An infinite number of fields could also change to this location. Many interchangeable control panels in the center are also conceivable, so that the individual Endless Navigator can even become several different Endless Navigators.

67 shows an infinite navigator in the version oblique corner-oblique format relation 87 with separate control unit 31 , It works like a circular navigator in the upper left corner, only its shifts of the visible area are related 1 not circular but oblique. He also takes a little less space away from the display area. Shown are the levels one to three reference 21 . 22 and 23 , The input / read field reference 29 is also here as in most of the following en drawings of the separate control unit reference 31 operated.

68 shows an Endless Navigator in the version high-corner-square format reference 75 with separate control unit 31 , It is here provided so that it is also located in the upper left corner of a display or function corner whose boundaries reference 3 are shown. The controller can operate by radio, so it is immaterial from which direction this refers to the Active Level 19 shows.

69 to 72 , Applications for previous drawings each relate to a display of modern mobile phones 158 ,

73 shows an Endless Navigator in the version Breitecke-Querformat reference 45 with separate control unit 31 , Shown are all levels one to seven reference 21 . 22 . 23 . 24 . 25 . 26 and 27 , but only the last level can be moved 19 as active level. The surfaces here are rectangles in wide format. It could be information, links or even separate virtual screens. But other information, control and control functions are conceivable for the fields of an endless navigator.

74 shows an Endless Navigator in the version Breitecke-Querformat reference 45 in the theoretical view depth. Only the upper visible level reference 19 is not hatched and therefore reality. It should be illustrated that the Endless Navigator is theoretically not finite. He does not have capacity limits himself. If connected devices reach capacity limits, the Endless Navigator can always be equipped with a new and more powerful environment due to its basic concept.

75 shows an infinite navigator in the version oblique corner-oblique format relation 81 with separate control unit 31 , It is also here the direction of movement "before" reference 8th and "back" terms 9 no longer shown separately. Of course, only one direction can be executed at a time. The oblique arrangement has been executed here as usually with rectangles in wide format. All seven levels are shown. In the resting state of the Endless Navigator, it could be completely invisible. Depending on the type of execution, all levels do not have to be called up for all pending operations of the Endless Navigator. It is also conceivable that some functions are already done with the first level and depending on the difficulty of the task increases the number of required levels.

76 shows an infinite navigator in the version oblique corner-oblique format relation 81 in the theoretical view depth. Again, only the function should be clear. Further explanations are possible via the "REFERENCE LIST".

77 shows an Endless Navigator in the version high-corner-landscape relation 67 with separate control unit 31 , As with all drawings, the container refers 7 symbolically the theoretical infinity of the Endless Navigator. The maximum seven levels shown here 21 . 22 . 23 . 24 . 25 . 26 and 27 are arranged in column form next to each other in this version of the Endless Navigator. The navigation through the levels takes place from left to right. Also, this version is very suitable to be placed in a top left corner of a working or viewing area.

78 shows an Endless Navigator in the version high-corner-landscape relation 67 in the theoretical view depth, which reference below the visible area 1 was drawn.

79 shows an Endless Navigator in the version oblique corner longitudinal format reference 80 with separate control unit 31 , Here, the oblique arrangement consists of fields in portrait format

80 shows an Endless Navigator in the version oblique corner longitudinal format reference 80 in the theoretical view depth.

81 shows an Endless Navigator in the version oblique corner-transverse diagonal format reference 83 with separate control unit 31 , The visible area is shifted diagonally diagonally to the rectangular area. In this version, all levels have the same number of visible fields.

82 shows an Endless Navigator in the version oblique corner-transverse diagonal format reference 83 in the theoretical view depth.

83 shows an Endless Navigator in the version Breitecke-Querdiagonalformat reference 49 with separate control unit 31 , In contrast to the oblique diagonal view of the previous version, the visible area of the individual levels varies in size. The level one reference 21 has only one visible functional area, the level Seven reference 27 on the other hand, seven diagonal rectangular areas.

84 shows an Endless Navigator in the version Breitecke-Querdiagonalformat reference 49 in the theoretical view depth.

85 shows an Endless Navigator in the version Breitecke-Querdiagonalformat reference 49 with separate control unit 31 , The function and arrangement is similar to the Endless Navigator before it. But in contrast, it is rotated so that it fits exactly in the upper left corner of a surface.

86 shows the Endless Navigator in the version Breitecke-Querdiagonalformat reference 49 in the theoretical view depth.

87 and 88 , Applications for previous drawings each relate to a display of modern mobile phones 158 ,

89 shows an Endless Navigator in the version circle-landscape relation 90 with separate control unit 31 , The seven levels related 21 to 27 are again arranged on a circular or elliptical orbit. The last active level reference 19 can refer to the selected active element 20 complete his desired action. For this purpose, reference is made only to the here separate control / control unit 31 the signal "ok" reference 15 trigger.

90 shows an Endless Navigator in the version circle-landscape relation 90 in the theoretical view depth.

91 shows an infinite navigator in the version circular corner-transverse diagonal format reference 105 with separate control unit 31 as in the drawing before, but rotated by 45 ° counterclockwise. He is thus suitable to again occupy the preferred upper left corner of a working and / or functional level, such. B. on a control and control surface of a technical system or on a display. The rectangular areas, held almost in all drawings approximately in the ratio of a widescreen screen surface, are moved diagonally on a circular path here. Each field keeps track of when moving within the visible area 1 the 45 ° angle. There are many applications where this embodiment is indicated.

92 shows an Endless Navigator in the version ovalecke-Querdiagonalformat reference 119 with separate control unit 31 , Here is arrangement and track within the visible range reference 1 provided on an oval or elliptical orbit. With widescreen display surfaces, this can also improve the visible height left over by the Endless Navigator.

93 shows an Endless Navigator in the version circle corner-landscape relation 101 with separate control unit 31 , Here, the individual areas move from level one to seven 21 . 22 . 23 . 24 . 25 . 26 and 27 on their circular path so that they always remain horizontal. Especially with single windows for multimedia or information with many data to be recognized in the elements, the information collection is so much easier.

94 shows an Endless Navigator in the version Ovalecke-Querformat Bezug 115 with separate control unit 31 , The surface is no longer circular, but oval. Again, only the visible area is related 1 drawn. The active level reference 19 like most drawings the level seven is related 27 drawn, with its active element relation 20 , The active level is, like almost all drawings, highlighted by thicker drawing lines.

95 shows an Endless Navigator in the version Circular Corner Longitudinal Reference 102 with separate control unit 31 , Here the format of the widescreen surfaces is arranged once upright. It was thus particularly suitable for the individual displays of table-like information. Of course you could then always the input / read field reference 29 be adapted to different formats. For the sake of simplicity, this pictorial approximation is omitted here in the drawings.

96 shows an Endless Navigator in the version Ovalecke longitudinal format 116 with separate control unit 31 , The shift movements of the levels take place on an oval track. The design could be improved if the distances of the fields on a track are made uniform. This would be just a function of programming.

97 shows an Endless Navigator in the version circle-square reference 98 with separate control unit 31 , Here, the individual surfaces are not rectangular, but square. On circular or elliptical orbits, the number of visible fields within the visible range is related 1 dictated by the fact that they appear as completely as possible at the same time and refer to the limits 3 just lost. In addition, the viewing angle is crucial. For preferred 90 °, as close as possible fields, as similar as possible large fields of different levels and the desired seven levels are usually the numbers one for Level One reference 21 , three for Level Two 22 , four for Level Three 23 , six for Level Four reference 24 , seven for Level Five 25 , nine for Level Six 26 and ten for Level Seven 27 ,

98 shows an Endless Navigator in the version circle-square reference 98 in the theoretical view depth.

99 reveals an Endless Navigator in the version Circular Corner Square Format 109 with separate control unit 31 , turned 45 ° counterclockwise, and it is again suitable for the upper left corner. The elements are here arranged so that they move in the direction "before" reference 8th or towards "back" relation 9 constantly changing their angle, so that the circumference of the circular path always refers simultaneously to the direction of its width 4 is.

100 shows an Endless Navigator in the version Oval corner-square format reference 123 with separate control unit 31 , Again, only the visible area is related 1 drawn and the sliding panels are in contrast to the previous drawing no longer circular but oval. The entire visible Endless Navigator gets a three-dimensional expression through the oval arrangement.

101 shows an Endless Navigator in the version Circle Trapezoidal Reference 99 with separate control unit 31 , Here the areas of the fields are not square but trapezoidal. They adapt even better to a circular or elliptical orbit. That is, with rectangular elements there is less unused space for gaps. In the case of the trapezoidal arrangement, turning the fields during the movements would be "before" reference 8th or "back" reference 9 make no sense to square or rectangular elements. Here, the width is usefully always the same direction of the circular or oval track.

102 shows an Endless Navigator in the version Circle Trapezoidal Reference 99 in the theoretical view depth.

103 shows an Endless Navigator in the version Circular Corner Trapezoidal Reference 110 with separate control unit 31 , Also, this trapezoidal arrangement of elements can be placed by turning the entire Endless Navigator counterclockwise by 45 ° in the upper left corner. The range / display / sheet limits reference 3 form a 90 ° angle.

104 shows an Endless Navigator in the version ovalecke-trapezoidal reference 124 with separate control unit 31 , By changing the elements from the circular path to the ellipse you get back more of this spatial impression. The fields of the elements themselves are also shifted in their individual positions from circle to oval.

105 shows an infinite navigator in the version circular-circle reference 96 with separate control unit 31 , This arrangement is particularly suitable in that it makes no difference to the surfaces, at which angle the individual elements are currently. The width is always the same in each angle as the diameter of the circle of this element surface, such. B. the active element reference 20 shows.

106 shows an infinite navigator in the version circular-circle reference 96 in the theoretical view depth.

107 shows an Endless Navigator in the version circle corner-round reference 107 with separate control unit 31 , Twisted by 45 °, this again results in the preferred upper left corner.

108 shows an Endless Navigator in the version Ovalecke-Rundformat reference 114 with separate control unit 31 , The orbits of the levels are again elliptical, so that the already described advantages of a perspective view arise.

109 shows an Endless Navigator in the version circle corner-round reference 107 with separate control unit 31 , Here is an example of the function of a virtual keyboard shown. To display all letters at the same time, all seven levels must be referenced 21 . 22 . 23 . 24 . 25 . 26 and 27 be called. The previously described selected division for the individual round fields of the levels one to seven, namely one, three, four, six, seven, nine and ten together make 40 simultaneously visible fields, sufficient to represent an entire alphabet with numbers and some special characters, at least for the world that uses our European characters. About the here separate control / control unit reference 31 The display with few fields can be used there like a keyboard. A special command could prevent the levels from disappearing as usual after each triggering of the function, but until the command of a special kind, eg. B. simultaneous pressing the fields "high again" reference 17 and "ok" terms 15 like a virtual keyboard persist. With "before" reference 13 and "back" terms 14 , as well as "to" reference 12 and "before" reference 13 can be hiked on the virtual keyboard and referenced by "ok" 15 the corresponding letter is triggered. Upon completion of the inputs, the keyboard display may be referred to by simultaneously pressing "back up" 17 and "ok" terms 15 be removed again and the Endless Navigator will be used as usual.

110 shows an Endless Navigator in the version Ovalecke-Rundformat reference 114 with separate control unit 31 , Again, the virtual keyboard is given a perspective appearance by changing the circular arrangement in an ellipse arrangement, with simultaneous displacement of the original circular element surfaces of circles in correspondingly adapted ovals.

111 shows an Endless Navigator in the version circle corner-round reference 107 with separate control unit 31 , Here, instead of the previously displayed levels with letters, virtual instrument displays are shown. Again, could be specified by the program specified in the Endless Navigator special commands, z. B. simultaneously "to" reference 12 and "ok" terms 15 , the permanently displayed range of all levels can be set to show all the maximum possible measuring devices at the same time. With the commands "before" reference 13 or "back" reference 14 then the next forty instruments are always displayed immediately. Of course, the Endless Navigator for certain applications can also be designed so that it refers only in whole level blocks 21 . 22 . 23 . 24 . 25 . 26 and 27 displays.

112 shows an Endless Navigator in the version Ovalecke-Rundformat reference 114 with separate control unit 31 , Here are the instruments again in perspective virtually moved. Innumerable locations and facilities could be saved virtually and centrally by the Endless Navigator. Yes, they could even be mobile.

113 and 114 , Applications for previous drawings each relate to a display of modern mobile phones 158 ,

115 shows an Endless Navigator in the version circle corner-landscape relation 101 with separate control unit 31 , Here, each element is intended as a single image area or as a window, which in turn each maps or transmits its own moving image, whether presentation, surveillance, TV or video. The individual elements can relate to each other over the levels 21 . 22 . 23 . 24 . 25 . 26 and 27 separately maximize or else as in the examples before in forties units of the total visible range 1 be moved. This Endless Navigator is perfect for movie studios as well as surveillance cameras. An infinite variety of video and scene information can be displayed.

116 shows an Endless Navigator in the version Ovalecke-Querformat Bezug 115 with separate control unit 31 , Especially with screens, and especially in the increasingly widespread becoming widescreen "Widesreen", the oval displaceability offers, as the unused areas between the individual elements becomes smaller. It is here also a slightly further optimized area of use conceivable.

117 and 118 , Applications for previous drawings each relate to a display of modern mobile phones 158 ,

119 shows an Endless Navigator, version Circular corner-round reference 107 , with three levels, where the fields can temporarily act as a selectable keyboard, for example. Unnecessary levels disappear again from the screen, here either by visual toggle control panel reference 12 inside or automatically if a limited operating time within a level is exceeded. The control fields reference 13 and 14 serve, as already known, the shift of the respective active level in the direction "before" reference 8th or "back" reference 9 , With the toggle control panel reference 12 inside, which is the only one visible when the Endless Navigator is idle, the rest of the control panels and Level One are made visible again, allowing the Endless Navigator to resume service. The visible area reference 1 and the invisible area reference 2 of the Endless Navigator are marked as usual, as well as the theoretical infinity reference 7 into which the shifted levels disappear and on the other side other fields come into the visible area. One can also imagine the Endless Navigator as an infinite database whose individual sentences can be supplemented or modified at any time. Here is indicated as a possible words or even phrases keyboard instead of a virtual bush keyboard. It can refer to the three levels shown here 21 . 22 and 23 can be called either level-dependent, but could be moved by keyboard shortcuts in block views of the maximum of 17 elements shown here. After some practice, you could enter the most important texts much faster with this virtual word or set keyboard than with the usual letters. Integrated grammar and spelling programs ensure the perfect output. Even program-controlled directly translated editions in other languages, and even in other characters is conceivable, as the lower window reference 29 of the input / read-out field shown here 29 shows.

120 shows an Endless Navigator in the version Ovalecke-Rundformat reference 115 with separate control unit 31 , This oval pictorial representation may be useful, possibly font or symbolism is better not rotated, but always held horizontally. But this is reserved for the countless possible execution of the Endless Navigator.

121 and 122 , Applications for previous drawings each relate to a display of modern mobile phones 158 ,

For all display screens, only widescreen or 16: 9 formats will be used in the future. The old 4: 3 format will disappear. Further embodiments of the invention are in the 123 to 134 shown.

As already indicated several times before, the execution of the control and level surfaces can be solved differently. It does not just have to be circles, trapezoids or rectangles. Especially in the version quarter circle of the Endless Navigator, also known as circle corner, the design can be diverse. Some examples with the versions Circular corner-round relation 107 , Circular corner oval format reference 108 , Circular Corner Trapezoidal Reference 110 and circle corner sector format reference 111 show the 123 to 134 ,

123 shows normal menu items, here with level two, 124 Radial trapezoidal fields, here with level two, 125 Frames of a website, here with Level One, 126 Sector divisions, here with level two, 127 Fan types, here with Level One, 128 Radial surfaces, here with Level Two, 129 Circles or balls, here with Level One, 130 3D buttons, here with Level One, 131 Pearls, here with Level One, 132 Fan surfaces, here with level three, 132 Sectors, here with Level Three, or 134 3D bowls, here with level three, the creativity is limitless.

135 to 145 , applications for previous drawings each relate to a display of modern mobile phones 158 ,

Mobile phones, mobile screens, touch and webbooks, computers and other IT-ICT devices are also becoming increasingly popular with the Endless Navigator, often Version Viertelkreis. The Enlose Navigator could already be relatively easily programmed with Java, Flash, HTML5, Adobe Edge, or similar, but other programming options are also conceivable. The visible movement of the levels, which are easily programmable in Flash, Java or Edge, makes the impression of theoretical infinity particularly clear. It could also menus of seemingly infinite capacity can be generated.

147 shows a vending machine with a visual endless navigator, version circle corner-round reference 107 , For example, it could be a modern ticket vending machine or a public route descriptor, an information / travel vending machine 189 act. But it would also be a military device conceivable. For operation here was a round keyboard device reference 31 selected with six control units. It is separate from the levels but located within the same enclosure. The display is via a screen, increasingly touchscreen reference 175 ,

When idle, the Endless Navigator will not reference or will occupy a minimal space in the upper left corner 30 , Based on an Internet menu presentation, this position is also called "home" here.

148 shows an Endless Navigator in the version circle corner-round reference 107 with separate control unit. Here is the screen reference again 175 of the vending machine reference 189 shown. The Endless Navigator shows the preferred arrangement upper left corner reference 153 with here six levels for a variety of information opportunities. A route / terrain map, for example, still has enough space to display.

Each level is theoretically infinitely large. Nevertheless, more than half of the screen remains free for display.

149 shows an Endless Navigator in the version circle corner-round reference 107 with separate control unit. Fundamentals of this has already been done in previous figures. The Endless Navigator is also located here in the upper left corner reference 153 and is designed as illustrated for the input of information. A large input / read field reference 29 shows the input via the virtual keyboard. The additional function finger input reference 177 of the touchscreen 175 trained screen can greatly speed up font input.

But also with fewer levels and directly into the Endless Navigator integrated control / control panels 31 would be a character input feasible. By activating a "Keyboard" field or similar in the Endless Navigator, or as referenced here via the external "Enter" or "Search" control key 17 , the full alphabet can already be mapped at four levels in such Endless Navigator. In addition, an input field is displayed. The other possible functions have already been described in previous drawings. But also previously not mentioned functions would only prove the universal applicability of an endless navigator. For example, two levels are sufficient for a built-in control / control unit version to fully display all digits, including decimal commas or periods. But even for the most important special characters, two levels were sufficient 153 ,

150 shows an Endless Navigator in the version circle corner-round reference 107 , Here is a special version for information input and output, shown here as Handicap I / O 178 designated. The Endless Navigator in arrangement upper left corner reference 153 has a special design by program-controlled tactile knobs in a given grid system, which corresponds to the common Braille. It can thus feel the infinite amount of information an endless navigator. So also the input / output field is a braille input / output reference 179 , The elements within the levels of the Endless Navigator are here related to tactile button illustrations 180 , Additionally or alternatively, offers an audio input reference 181 and an audio output reference 182 at.

151 shows an Endless Navigator in the version circle corner-round reference 107 with separate control / control unit reference terms 31 , It is especially related to symbol communication 183 suitable. Accordingly, the information and function fields of the levels are designed. The function is similar to the description of the virtual keyboards, except that there are no region or letter limiting languages, but only, in the future as possible global symbols. So far, all attempts to introduce a world language or font have failed. Maybe in the future the Endless Navigator can lead to success. The input / output field, here just as a symbol input / output reference 184 used, could z. For example: "I (triangle points to me) see (eye symbol) you (triangle points to my counterpart) on the screen (screen icon). You (triangle points to the other person) look good (eye symbol) (ok sign). "This symbol communication can only be a minimum function of the endless Navigators, so to speak, an addition to its many infinite applications. In addition to the communication with symbols, a WebCam video can be referenced on the remaining, still ample screen 186 , a presentation or something similar.

152 shows an Endless Navigator in the version Ovalecke-Querformat Bezug 115 with a separate control unit. Here are the fields of the levels as video inputs / outputs. It could be z. B. to act as a lending machine for video films, with innumerable windows in the levels for TV / Videos / WebCam / WebTrailer display reference 188 , It offers the arrangement upper left corner reference 153 on, where only a field "home" is visible in the idle state.

153 shows the example of a measuring machine reference 190 , Here are eight control buttons for the control unit separately arranged by the Endless Navigator 31 has been chosen. Above this is a control / control / input and display screen reference 199 , The display shows an endless navigator, version wide-landscape relation 34 , with two superimposed planes relation 21 and 22 , Each level shows an infinite number of gauges related to its part of the screen as an instrument image 191 , Both levels are horizontally infinitely displaceable, so that always connected measured values could be displayed simultaneously. In addition, via the two additional control buttons, for example, each individual measured value should be set or specified to a maximum or minimum. Imagine the control room of a nuclear power plant with whole walls full of measuring instruments. Endless navigators could make do with much less space, or even create an infinite number of decentralized surveillance rooms with such measuring machines.

154 shows another example of the application of the Endless Navigator, circular corner-round reference 107 , Finally, a mobile phone reference 158 possible with a few buttons. It comes with a miniature keyboard reference 192 out. Here, for example, only three control and control panels are provided, with the left two toggle buttons to the right and left to tilt and thus perform the usual signals "on", "back up", "forward" and "back". The right button "ok" then triggers the respective function. The Endless Navigator, version Circle Corner, here with 7 levels is in its complete display for input and control characters reference 193 there is still enough space for all possible display forms of the display. The picture shows, for example, the image or the WebCam video of the conversation partner in reduced form as TV / Video / WebCam or photo area reference 194 and at the same time still input or display fields reference 29 about that.

155 shows an Endless Navigator in the version circle corner-round reference 107 with integrated control / control panels reference 32 , The minimal keyboard reference 192 exists here only from a button "on". Other functions such as "on", "back up", "forward" and "back" are related to a type of trackball control 195 with which you can walk through the levels. Underneath there is again space for input read-out fields 29 and / or a TV / Video / WebCam or photo area 194 , Related to trackball 167 Often a selection pointer is referenced on the screen 196 needed, similar to a usual mouse control. With this, the control and control fields in the center of the levels can be controlled and triggered. A separate control unit is thus eliminated.

In the picture of the 155 in the visible range 1 The Endless Navigator displays four levels with a keypad, for example, to dial the call partner 107 , It could also be speed dial numbers. The leftover display could adjust accordingly.

156 shows an Endless Navigator in the version circle corner-round reference 107 as previously in a mobile phone.

In the minimal display of the Endless Navigator shown here, almost the entire screen of the mobile phone could be used transversely as a reception display. Likewise it could be a mobile screen reference 159 with touchscreen screen reference 175 be. Also the minimum display "home" relation 30 , in the corner always left-up, regardless of whether the display is used up or down, could be completely eliminated at first, if it is switched on again by a release button or screen area. Thus, the entire screen of the mobile phone or a mobile screen with touchscreen screen would be cross-referenced 157 for photos, WebCam display, TV reception, Internet or similar 188 remain free.

157 shows the application of the Endless Navigator, version Circular corner-round reference 107 , related to a computer 174 , here in an increasingly used notebook or other PC mini version, such as handhelds, PDAs and navigation devices. Shown are three levels or levels of the endless Navigators in the upper left corner reference 153 , Despite its display, there is still enough room for the work surface of the screen at the same time 198 Whether television or video reception, Internet sites, local or network applications, images photos, spreadsheets, letters and forms or even types of applications of a computer that we do not know today, for which the Endless Navigator could also be an effective tool , The necessary control impulses for the Endless Navigator could be related via a few additional keys in the keyboard 176 done or via the known pointer devices such as mouse, pen, touch screen and others as selection / pointer control reference 197 , This is then usually a selection indicator reference 196 to see on the screen. For special inputs, outputs and searches, the Endless Navigator also has the function of an input / read field 29 included by default. This can also be used at any time for in-time translations. There is still enough screen space for TV / Video / WebCam or Photo Area.

158 shows a computer reference 174 with version Circular corner-round reference 107 in which a window has just been opened. Again, the endless navigator is referred to within the window for control 107 used. Imagine how much easier the operation of a computer would be if both the operating systems and all applications of all manufacturers would use the same menu and navigation device, namely the Endless Navigator. Unimaginable automation processes and simplifications would be possible. The selection pointer reference 196 requires a corresponding device for selection / pointer control reference 197 like the mouse, if you do not want to use the keyboard. But more and more, the touchscreen version will be used, for often more precise control, this is a touch screen pen on reference 200 ,

159 shows an Endless Navigator in the version circle corner-round reference 107 in the windows of a display. Whether the entire workstation of the display is used or individual windows, in the inactive phase of the Endless Navigator, either no or minimal elements are displayed in the upper left corner, such as: For example, "home" terms 30 , Especially with an Internet publication, it is important to put as much information as possible on one page. Since it is very advantageous if the menu or navigation device takes up as little space as possible, as it is implemented in the Endless Navigator, and which then activated but can release an infinite amount of information or functions. Often, for any exercises of functions, only the integrated control panels are related 32 , if available, visible. All levels, however, are initially hidden.

160 shows a computer reference 174 with version Circular corner-round reference 107 where several different windows and applications, superimposed here, all refer to the Endless Navigator 153 use. Even older people will be made easier by the simplification with the Endless Navigator to the computer, similar to the previously described mobile phone with the Endless Navigator. Related to the main screen 198 on the other hand, at the moment the Endless Navigator is hidden at the upper left corner. The standard equipment of a notebook now includes a sophisticated audio part with audio input reference 181 and audio output reference 182 , About the Endless Navigator can also be a universal voice control reference 201 Taxes.

161 shows a possible evolution of the mobile computer terms 160 using the Endless Navigator, version circle corner-round reference 107 , If the Endless Navigator is used in the upper left corner of the operating system and applications, many features of a standard keyboard can be accommodated in its navigation device. This applies to the desktop as well as the application windows. Again, the Endless Navigator controls reference 107 without significantly affecting the view of a display window. The result would be a computer with a minimum of keys, a minimal keyboard reference 192 so that this mainly refers only from a screen 198 consists.

For example, the Endless Navigator may initially display a normal character keyboard on the screen. After a certain Eigenfern phase of the device then more and more visual words keyboards and finally even sentences and entire paragraphs as a kind of visual keyboard held available, of course, each differently matched to the registered user. This simplification in the creation of fonts, forms and installations via the Endless Navigator is almost unlimited and extremely user-friendly.

Even automated corrections and translations into other languages and characters can be realized quickly and easily with the Endless Navigator, as previously described for other figures.

Perhaps the Endless Navigator also promotes the future voice control of computers and similar devices, which would also reduce the number of keyboards.

162 shows the application of the Endless Navigator, version wide-landscape relation 34 , in the games industry. It's a future sudoku automaton reference 202 pictured, whose screen has three infinite levels as Level One, Two and Three reference 21 . 22 and 23 for the individual blocks shows. An integrated control area on the screen is omitted here. With a usual start-up lever at slot machines reference 203 the three levels are rolled horizontally in the form of Levels of the Endless Navigator and come to the currently displayed standstill after a short time. This results in shifting the visible width to both sides infinitely many, matching blocks for filling by keyboard of the machine. There are in the area of control and control part / parts reference 11 all digits in the form of a numeric keypad 204 and control buttons for maneuvering to the field in which the missing number is typed. A time limit for the complete completion of each new constellation decides on profit or loss.

163 and 164 , Applications show with the Endless Navigator, version Circular corner-round reference 107 , for previous drawings, each in a display modern mobile screens reference 159 in which the computer part is now so flat that only the screen itself is perceived. Nevertheless, complete office and Internet functions are just as usable here as TV, video, photo and presentation programs, and cover 188 and 194 , The screens are normally touch screens 175 ,

165 shows the application of the Endless Navigator, version Circular corner-round reference 107 , in the film and photo industry. Here is a camera reference 205 shown as a digital prism camera, on the back of which a control screen is related 198 located. This appears on and off parallel also in the viewing window of the prism viewfinder reference 206 , On the back is also a part of the control and control part / parts reference 11 attached, with which the endless navigator and thus the entire camera is controlled.

166 shows the Endless Navigator in the version circle corner-round reference 107 with separate control unit as it is in the viewfinder 206 of the 165 appears. The visible range of the viewfinder window is enlarged here as a view reference 207 shown. As usual left-up, the visible area of the Endless Navigator, version circles corner, can be seen, in the maximum version with initial level level one to the fourth level level four. The Endless Navigator in turn controls the functions of the camera and could do many things beyond. Even with the cameras, the viewfinder as well as a possible control screen in the future will only have the format 16: 9 and the photo formats will, like other standards also, sooner or later join this standard measure. Ultimately, the 16: 9 format is the closest to the human field of view.

167 points to the Endless Navigator in the version Circular Corner Circular 107 with separate control / control unit the front of the already described camera reference 205 , Also on the front of control and control part / parts reference 11 to be appropriate. There may be a part of a miniature keyboard reference 192 are located. The camera is usually held in the hand, so the thumb preferably works on the back, the other fingers on the front shown here.

168 shows the cockpit reference 208 a future vehicle or airplane. Again, the screen is getting more and more reference 198 with purely virtual instruments that replace today still common individual instruments, as well as switching and control buttons. Again, an ideal field for the Endless Navigator is related to levels as instrument illustrations 191 , For this application, there is an endless navigator, version Oval-Rundformat reference 114 at. The visible area is a semicircle, or better half an ellipse, to better fill the format of a 16: 9 screen. This is not about leaving as much of the display background as possible, but on the contrary as much as possible of the simultaneously visible instruments, and if necessary also of additional visual switches and control surfaces on the display accommodate.

In addition to four fixed instruments on all four corners of the screen and in the lower part also fixed three screen windows, each with their own smaller Endless Navigators reference 107 , between the windows again ever a smaller visual round instrument, is the main endless navigator of the cockpit reference 208 housed within half an ellipse. It consists of three levels of instruments, which are arranged elliptical and centered to the screen width around a fan-shaped instrument above the control or steering unit. The invisible area of the Endless Navigator is located in the lower half of the ellipsoidal planes, so to speak. To obscure that it is not a single screen on which everything is happening, a design panel could be used as a cover panel 209 , which leaves only the openings free, in place of the measuring devices are shown, resting on top. So the pilot would have the impression of a large number of illuminated separate instruments instead of a large single screen. To control the Endless Navigator with its instrument illustrations 191 , which all live digitally and accurately display, are located on the control unit of the driving, swimming or aircraft already sufficiently often described control and control parts reference 11 ,

The infinite displaceability of the visible area of the Endless Navigator now theoretically makes it possible to refer to an infinite number of instruments in the form of instrument images 191 be displayed and controlled one after the other. The cost advantage of a single screen reference 198 to countless individual instruments would be enormous. This variant is likely to have not only civil interested parties.

169 shows the still unmanageable many applications for the Endless Navigator, version circle corner-round reference 107 , a modern TV flat screen reference 210 , Of course, the one with the visible part of the Endless Navigator, version circular corner, is also controlled. This serves as a control and control part reference 11 a minimum of direct keyboard reference 192 on the device. The 16: 9 picture reference 198 TV / Video / WebCam or Photo section 194 is hardly significantly affected during the operation of the Endless Navigator. The screen shows an endless navigator with seven levels and 40 fields. This could be z. B. be the set program numbers. The well-known program logos, as well as ARD, ntv and so on, could be displayed as well. The fields of the Endless Navigator could also be operated as a touchscreen in the future, but you also have to move to the device. Thus, the remote control will be favored even longer. But at least the multitude of manually operated devices could be significantly reduced.

For example, a mobile phone equipped with the Enlosen Navigator could completely replace the almost everywhere common to seven different remote controls for TVs, satellite or cable providers, VCRs, DVD players, TV digital receivers, etc. in the living room. In addition, more and more common digital multimedia interfaces would be used 211 and the huge amounts of data related to HD video and cinema sound 182 to require the use of an Endless Navigator.

170 shows a combination of a multi-applicable Mobile Phone reference 158 , which itself refers to an endless navigator, version circles corner-round format 107 equipped, dispense with a variety of buttons and at the same time as a standardized remote control reference 212 could be used for all modern TV sets. The endless navigator of the W-unit is thus remotely related via the three keys of the miniature keyboard 192 the control and control part reference 11 of the mobile phone, or via a possible touch screen function of its own screen or even by a temporary synchronization of the endless navigator of the mobile phone with the endless navigator of the TV set. So the television consumer could refer to on his 16: 9 display 80 go through all sorts of channels on his mobile phone, and then set the desired station on the big screen of the TV set 194 of the 169 , In addition to input and output fields, the mobile phone has a format selector reference 213 which refers to the TV / Video / WebCam or Photo section 194 at any time to switch to full use in FHD / HD format by simultaneous rotation of the device by 90 °.

171 shows an Endless Navigator in the version circle corner-round reference 107 in which this previously described format switching in Mobile Phone respect 158 as a remote control reference 212 just took place. The TV / Video / WebCam or Photo Area Reference 194 is optimally enlarged. Nevertheless, enough display space remains for the Endless Navigator 107 , a sufficient input / readout field and the format selector reference 213 to return to the display mode of 170 , The control and control part reference 11 with its miniature keyboard is as easy to use in this situation as in the normal as a mobile phone.

The mobile phone reference 158 or a mobile screen reference 159 , each equipped with the Endless Navigator, is then at any time suitable for all other control functions, whether the garage door is open, whether when shopping an automatic cashier is operated, ATMs are used, whether to address other controls in a house or in large events any votes will be required.

172 shows an Endless Navigator in the version Ovalecke-Querformat Bezug 115 in a TV set reference 210 , With the built-in control and control part reference 11 or previously described Remote controls, the Endless Navigator can open an infinite number of video screens as separate windows to the TV / Videos / WebCam or WebTrailer display. The oval version is particularly suitable for the widescreen display of videos.

173 shows an Endless Navigator in the version Ovalecke-Rundformat reference 115 , also on a usual screen. There is a technical device in the background to see what is related to a monitoring function 214 close. With the built-in cover 11 or remote controlled control and monitoring part could also be controlled monitoring cameras. In the foreground here are additional reference figures 191 recorded as part of the Endless Navigator. Again, the Endless Navigator provides information without limits.

174 Twice shows an infinite navigator in the version Circular corner-round reference 107 with separate control unit 31 in a display table terms 215 , Two large built-in screens 216 are arranged opposite each other here. There are thus two operator stations for two persons who are sitting opposite each other. For the operation of the Endless Navigators a control and control part is respectively related 11 let in the table on the right side. It consists of a minimal keyboard and a kind of trackball control. But also touch screen controls reference 175 are conceivable for the endless navigator. In terms of multimedia, the seats are referenced with additional audio inputs 181 and audio issues related 182 , as well as with WebCams reference 217 , These can be jobs, but they can also be used for recreational activities.

175 also shows two Endless Navigators in the version circular corner-round reference 107 , Here are the recessed screens reference 216 in the display table 215 on top of each other, but in the same direction. It follows that it must be a person's workstation. Again, similar functional parts are available, but tailored to an operator. There is only one sound system reference 181 and 182 , as well as a WebCam reference 217 , Also the control and control part reference 11 there is only once. For finger input reference 177 in Endless Navigators then both screens are related 157 designed.

176 often shows the Endless Navigator in the version circle corner-round reference 107 with a common separate control unit 31 , Such a technical room could refer to whole walls 218 have full with display areas. The display surfaces in today's technology could be screens that reference all virtual measurement and control displays as instrument images 191 show and each from the Endless Navigator reference 153 are controlled. A room could thus cover the control of entire settlements, since the Endless Navigator could retrieve and map an infinite number of measuring points. No energy company would have to do more local readings. In the future, the Endless Navigator would also be conceivable in virtual 3D room images or other technical advances.

177 to 180 , Applications for previous drawings each relate to a display of modern mobile phones 158 , 177 shows a possibility the situation of 174 and 175 to track on the mobile phone. The 178 shows the possibility of the diverse measuring instruments of the space of 176 even on the go on a mobile display to retrieve technical situations at any time. 179 shows the possibility, built-in cameras or other technical devices on the display so that you have the feeling, you would have this device in your hands, as here z. B. the 165 , The same shows the 180 , you feel like in front of the cockpit 168 to sit and could thus understand test flights. So all possible situations could be traced on a mobile display, whether games or real situations. Also the pictured measuring instruments from the 173 and 176 could appear in batches on the mobile phone and be controlled and read using the Endless Navigator.

All other reference numbers of this and the previous drawing can be additionally taken from the list of reference numerals.

All references in this description are listed in the enclosed CODE LIST and correspond to the figures shown in the individual drawings (figure numbers) with a curved assignment line and a dot or arrow at the end.
