- Mobile electronic device 100 can be powered by a battery (not shown), though it will be understood that in some non-limiting embodiments, mobile electronic device 100 can be supplied, in addition to or instead of the battery, with electricity by a wired connection to a wall outlet or other power source.
- a battery not shown
- mobile electronic device 100 can be supplied, in addition to or instead of the battery, with electricity by a wired connection to a wall outlet or other power source.
- Mobile electronic device can maintain, in memory 136, a plurality of applications. Each application can comprise computer-readable instructions for execution by processor 132. Processor 132 can thus be configured to carry out various functions via execution of the applications. Among the functions carried out by processor 132 is the controlling of display 108 to generate representations of the applications, as will be discussed below in greater detail.
- processor 132 can "multitask”. That is, processor 132 can execute more than one application simultaneously.
- processor 132 can be configured to manage the sharing and scheduling of its computing resources among multiple applications by execution of an operating system ("OS") (not shown).
- the operating system also comprises computer-readable instructions executable by processor 132.
- memory 136 can store an address book application 200, a map application 204, a web browser application 208 and a messaging application 212. It will be appreciated that a wide variety of other applications are also possible in addition to, or instead of, the above-mentioned applications.
- Method 300 will be described in connection with its performance on mobile electronic device, though it will be appreciated that method 300 can also be performed on other suitable devices.
- Performance of method 300 begins at block 305, at which a first interface is provided on display 108. More specifically, processor 132 can be configured by execution of (for example) address book application 200 to control circuitry 152 of display 108 to generate a representation of address book application 200 on display 108.
- the performance of block 305 can be initiated in a variety of ways. For example, block 305 can be performed in response to the selection of an address book icon presented on display 108 in a home interface.
- Figure 4 depicts a first interface on display 108.
- the first interface comprises a representation 400 of address book application 200.
- representation 400 shows a contact record within address book application 200 for an individual named "Jane Doe".
- the contact record shown in representation 400 includes, among other elements, address information 404, as will be discussed below.
- Representation 400 is displayed at a default zoom level (that is, at 100% zoom). It will now be appreciated that zoom levels can be set on a per-application basis in mobile electronic device 104.
- the first interface provided at block 305 of method 300 can occupy the entire, or substantially the entire, area of display 108. It will also be apparent, however, that this is not a necessity. Additional elements unrelated to address book application 200 can also be provided in the first interface in other embodiments (now shown). Such elements can include, without limitation, any suitable combination of a clock, a signal strength indicator and a battery level indicator.
- method 300 proceeds to block 310.
- processor 132 can be configured to receive input data representing a launch command for a second application. As will now be apparent to those skilled in the art, such a launch command can be received by various mechanisms. In the present exemplary performance of method 300, performance of block 310 is as depicted in Figure 5 .
- Figure 5 depicts a method 500 of receiving an application launch command as part of the performance of block 310 of method 300.
- processor 132 can be configured to receive a selection of an element of representation 400 of address book application 200. Responsive to that selection, method 500 advances to block 510, at which menu options relating to the selected element are overlaid on the first interface on display 108.
- Figure 6 depicts the performance of blocks 505 and 510.
- address information 404 has been selected (as indicated by the bold outline around address information 404) at block 505.
- Input data indicating such a selection can be received by processor 132, for example, from trackball 128.
- trackball 128 can be used to scroll through the elements of the first interface and to select (e.g. via a depression of trackball 128) a highlighted element. Selections can be made in various other ways as well.
- a touch screen can be used to detect contact on address information 404.
- menu options 600 have been provided on display 108 over representation 400. Menu options 600 are relevant to address information 404, and include a "show on map" option.
- method 500 proceeds to block 515, at which input data indicative of a selection of a menu option is received at processor 132.
- input data is received at processor 132 indicating that the "show on map" option seen in Figure 6 has been selected.
- the selected option is associated with a second application - in the present exemplary performance, with map application 204.
- the receipt of a selection of the "show on map" menu option at block 515 is thus equivalent to receiving a launch command for map application 204.
- processor 132 can be configured, at block 315, to provide an updated interface on display 108. That is, processor 132 can be configured to control circuitry 152 to generate the updated interface on display 108.
- the updated interface includes updated representations of the first application (in this exemplary performance, address book application 200) and of the second application (in this exemplary performance, map application 204). Such an updated interface is shown in Figure 7 .
- the updated interface shown in Figure 7 includes an updated representation 700 of address book application 200, and an updated representation 704 of map application 204.
- Updated representation 700 of address book application 200 is in a read-only, or inactive, state (also referred to as a non-editable state) - that is, the elements (such as address information 404) of updated representation 700 cannot be selected or otherwise interacted with by way of input received from any of the input devices of mobile electronic device 104.
- Updated representation 704 of map application 204 is in an active state (i.e. editable or read/write state).
- elements of updated representation 704 can be selected and altered via receipt of input data from, for example, trackball 128.
- the map indicating by way of identifier 708) the location specified by address information 404 can be moved and zoomed in or out by receipt of input data at processor 132, which can cause processor 132 to control display 108 to alter the appearance of representation 704.
- the inactive representation 700 can occupy a first portion of the area of display 108, while the active representation 704 can occupy a second portion of the area of display 108.
- representation 700 occupies approximately 25% of the display area, while representation 704 occupies approximately 75% of the display area.
- the active and inactive representations can occupy different portions of the display area than 75% and 25% respectively.
- the active representation can occupy 85% and the inactive representation can occupy 15%.
- Other variations are also contemplated, and will now occur to those skilled in the art.
- updated representations 700 and 704 together occupy the entire area of display 108, in some embodiments (not shown), the sum of the display area occupied by updated representations 700 and 704 together can be less than 100%. In general, the first portion occupied by the inactive representation is smaller than the second portion occupied by the active representation.
- updated representation 700 can be presented at a greater zoom level than representation 400 of address book application 200.
- the zoom level of updated representation 700 can be approximately 150%, though it will be appreciated that any zoom level greater than that of representation 400 can be used.
- Processor 132 can be configured to provide such a zoom level increase by, for example, obtaining address information 404 from memory 136 and increasing the font size of address information 404 prior to transmitting address information 404 to circuitry 152 of display 108 for generating updated representation 700.
- updated representation 700 is centered on address information 404, whose selection lead to the launching of map application 204.
- address information 404 is in fact the only element of address book application 200 presented in updated representation 700.
- Processor 132 can be configured to generate updated representation 700 by implementing any suitable combination of the above-mentioned features (zoom, centering and omission of other, non-selected elements).
- processor 132 can be configured to receive a command to "switch" the first and second applications.
- the switch command can be received from keypad 124.
- keypad 124 For example, the combined depression of a pair of keys such as an "Alt" key and a “back” key can result in input data indicating a switch command being received at processor 132.
- Other mechanisms for receiving a switch command will also occur to those skilled in the art.
- mobile electronic device can include an additional input device in the form of a switch button (not shown).
- the switch command can be received automatically in response to selection of a menu option on display 108 by trackball 128.
- selection of a menu option in map application 204 for adding a mapped address to the contacts maintained by address book application 200 can trigger a switch command in addition to the necessary command or commands required to add the address to contacts.
- the conditions which lead to receipt of a switch command at block 320 can be configurable by way of settings maintained by mobile electronic device 104.
- the combination of keys (such as "Alt" and "back” as mentioned above) can be specified in such configurable settings.
- notification profiles which govern ring tones, volume and the like can also include switch command settings.
- switch command behaviour can be set based on the application or applications being executed by processor 132.
- execution of web browser application 208 can provide for the receipt of a switch command when a particular key of keypad 124 is depressed, while execution of messaging application 212 can provide for the receipt of a switch command when a particular menu option is selected. It is also contemplated that various combinations of the above-mentioned embodiments can be implemented.
- processor 132 can be configured to perform block 325.
- processor 132 can be configured to control display 108 to generate a further interface including further representations of address book application 200 and map application 204.
- the switch command is a command to generate a new interface in which the application currently occupying the smaller, inactive portion of display 108 is made to occupy the larger, active portion and vice versa.
- a further interface as generated at block 325 is shown, including a further representation 800 of address book application 200 and a further representation 804 of map application 204.
- further representation 800 occupies the second larger portion of display 108.
- Address book application 200 is thus the active, or editable, application in this interface, while map application 204, represented in the first smaller portion of display 108, is the inactive or read-only application.
- the positions of address book application 200 and map application 204 have therefore been switched in the further interface.
- further representation 804 is generated at the same zoom level as in Figure 7 . As mentioned earlier, the change in zoom level is not a necessity when transitioning an application from active to inactive status on display 108.
- processor 132 can be configured to determine if a further switch command has been received. When the determination at block 330 is negative, method 300 can terminate. When the determination is positive, method 300 can return to block 325 and provide another updated interface as described earlier.
- processor 132 can also be configured to receive input data representing an exit command. When such an exit command is received, (for example, from keypad 124) processor 132 can be configured to cease execution of the application represented in the second (i.e. larger, active) portion of display 108 and automatically updated the interface on display 108 to include only a representation of the previously inactive application.
- methods 300 and 500 can also be performed in connection with any other suitable applications.
- web browser application 208 and messaging application 212 can be executed as part of the performance of the methods.
- a word displayed as part of a representation of messaging application 212 e.g. a word appearing in an email message
- web browser application 208 can be launched in order to retrieve a definition for the selected word.
- Still other combinations of applications will occur to those skilled in the art.
- applications 200, 204, 208, 212 may be implemented using pre-programmed hardware or firmware elements (e.g., application specific integrated circuits (ASICs), electrically erasable programmable read-only memories (EEPROMs), etc.), or other related components.
- ASICs application specific integrated circuits
- EEPROMs electrically erasable programmable read-only memories
