Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to position-based display characteristics in a user interface. [Prior Art] Mobile communication devices (such as wireless telephones) have become an integral part of everyday life. However, the form ® factor utilized by conventional mobile communication devices is fundamentally limited by the mobility of the mobile communication device. For example, the mobile communication device may have a relatively limited display area when compared to a conventional desktop computer such as a personal computer (Pc). In another example, the mobile communication device may have limited input functions (e. g., a keyboard) when compared to a conventional desktop computer. Therefore, conventional techniques for interacting with a desktop computer may be insufficient when utilized in a mobile communication device. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention will describe location based display characteristics in a user interface. In the embodiment, 'when the icon is determined by the mobile communication device', it is to be displayed at a specific position in the user interface. A display feature set by the mobile communication farmer defines the feature location so that the map changes. The icon 祜 & net is not solidified and is not in the display user interface of the mobile communication device. The animal has the display characteristics applied for the second day + the 'special position'. 201023026 In a tenth embodiment, the first and second icons are determined by the mobile communication device to be displayed in the first and second positions in the mu user interface. The mobile device also determines other first-and second rotation angles defined for the first and second positions. At least a portion of the first icon is displayed on the display device of the mobile communication device at a first • rotation angle. At least a portion of the second icon is displayed on the display device of the mobile communication device at the first turn angle by a flute. ® In one embodiment, the mobile communication device includes a display device and one or more modules configured to provide telephone functionality. The one or more modules are also configured to display a user interface on the display device having a plurality of locations configured according to a non-uniform grid. Each location has a defined display characteristic to be applied to each of the plurality of icons disposed at the location, and a display of the first of the icons at the first location is overlaid on The display of a second icon at the second position. This "invention" is described in a simplified form - a description of selected concepts, which will be further described in the following "Embodiment". This Valley is not intended to identify key features or essential features of the claimed subject matter, nor is it intended to limit the scope of the claimed subject matter. [Embodiment] Overview The display device utilized by the 201023026 mobile communication device (e.g., mobile phone, small notebook, etc.) has substantially a limited available display area when compared to a desktop environment. Therefore, the technology traditionally used in the conventional desktop environment may be insufficient when utilized in a mobile communication device. For example, the technique of a tissue-used desktop environment includes arranging content and presentation content according to a rigid grid within the user interface, which limits the amount of information that can be displayed in a user interface at a particular time. .

In - or various embodiments, a non-uniform sentence grid is utilized that allows an icon (e.g., representation of an application or content) to be emulated based on the grid to simulate a layout of a mixed print pattern. In addition, the grid can utilize functions to allow these representations to overlap each other, thereby facilitating the natural "appearance and feel" to the user interface and increasing display efficiency. For example, the grid itself (although not visible) can be used as a guide, the icon can be displayed within the user interface, and the icons displayed in a user interface can be filled in according to the grid. The area of the grid, but can also be designed such that the icons are edges that can overlap the grid. In this way, it can be achieved - the natural layout. In addition, it can also be used to provide an added sense of realism to interact with the user interface. A variety of implementation examples of mobile communication devices (e.g., a wireless device that can be utilized by the mobile communication device in the following discussion, which will describe a telephone). In addition, a number of different functions that can be implemented in the specification are described for each example. In the example of the embodiment of the present invention, and the other examples are described, therefore, the embodiment (4) is an illustration of a number of different considerations.

行動通訊裝置H)2亦圖示成包括—使用者介面模組 118。使用者介面模組118卩表行動通訊裝Ϊ 102之功能 來產生、管理及/或輸出使用者介面12〇來顯示在顯示裝 置110上。可利用多種不同技術來產线用者介面102。 例如’使用者界面模組118可組態使用者介面120來 包括複數個位置。這些位置之每—者可具有為其所定義 之相對應顯示特性’其如第】圖所示之具有顯示特性124 的位置122。依此方式，使用者介面模組u8可藉由在 201023026 使用者介面120中一圖標或内容應在「何處」顯示來決 定要「如何」顯示該圖標或内容，其更進一步討論可在 下圖之相關内容中找到。 第2圖為圖示第1圖之使用者介面120之範例系統200 的更為細部圖示，其具有複數個位置202-212，每一位置 具有要定義成套用到圖標及/或内容之複數個顯示特 性。第2圖所示之每一位置202-212皆為唯一，使得位 ❹ 置202-212在使用者介面12〇中並未共享一單一點。 多種不同顯示特性可對每一位置202-212做定義。在 圖示的範例中’每一位置202-212具有定義的旋轉量， 其圖示成一旋轉角度、定義成百分比的尺寸，及利用x/y 座標定義的一偏置量。例如，位置202具有定義的顯示 特性’其中包括「+15。」之旋轉角度、「1〇5%」之尺寸， 及利用座標「+4x, -3y」所定義之一偏置量。但是，位置 ® 204具有定義的顯示特性，其中包括「_2〇。」之旋轉角度、 「90%」之尺寸’及「零」的一偏置量。位置2〇6、2〇8、 210、212亦各別具有類似定義的顯示特性。這些顯示特 性則可由使用者介面模組丨24套用到要顯示在各別位置 處的一圖標214或其它内容216，其更進一步的討論可 在第3圖之相關内容中找到。 雖然位置202-212係圖示成跟隨第2圖中的一般栅格 圖案’該栅格經由如第3圖所示之前述偏置量的使用而 10 201023026 在顯示時並非-致的。在未背離本發明之精神與範峰之 下亦可考量多種其它配置’像是—習用的均勾柵格的使 用與一或多個該等顯示特性配合。 第3圖所示為-種系統300 ’其中使用在第2圖中定 義的顯示特性於使用者介面12〇中於各別位置2〇2212 處顯示圖標302-3U。在此範例中，使用者介面模組ιΐ8 已經組態使用者介面120來在位置2〇2 212處顯示圓標 ® 302·312。在此範例中，該等圖標代表可被選擇的聯絡人 而利用對於該聯絡人定義的一相對應號碼來撥打電話。 每一位置202-212具有對該位置所定義的顯示特性。因 此，使用者介面模組118可套用對該位置所定義的該等 顯示特性到設置在該位置處的一圖標。 例如圖標302顯示在使用者介面12〇中位置202處。 因此’使用者介面模組118套用位置2〇2之顯示特性到 β 圖標302之至少一部份。如先前第2圖所示，位置2〇2 之顯示特性包括「+15。」之旋轉角度、「1〇5%」之尺寸， 及使用座標「+4x，-3y」所定義之一偏置量。類似地，位 置204之顯示特性由使用者介面模組118套用到圖標 304 ’其包括「_2〇。」之旋轉角度、「9〇0/〇」之尺寸，及「零」 的一偏置量。此程序可使用對於各別位置2〇6 212所定 義的顯示特性而對圖標3〇6_312重複施行。 如第3圖所示，使用者介面模組12〇可套用一顯示特 11 201023026 性到該圖標的一部份’而不套用到該圖標的另一部份。 例如，位置202之該等顯示特性圖示成被套用到圖標3〇2 之一影像部份，而非圖標302的一文字描述部份。因此， 在此範例中，該等圖標3〇2_312之每一者的文字描述部 份維持相對於彼此及/或相對於使用者介面12〇之排列。 亦可考量到多種其它範例。 該等顯示特性之使用可提供設計者更多的彈性來在習 ❹ 用的剛性結構上設計使用者介面120。例如，這些技術 可被套用使得一重疊314發生在兩個或兩個以上該等圖 標之間，例如圖標3 10、3 12。衝突解決方案技術可由使 用者介面模組118所利用來決定圖標31〇、312中的哪個 要被顯示在「上方」’像是基於自從互動之後已經過的時 間》在另-範例中，圖標302之至少一部份並未與圖標 302的其餘部份被顯示在使用者介面丨2〇中。在進一步 ❹ 的範例中，該等顯示特性可以靜態或動態方式由使用者 介面模組m定義，其更進—步討論可在下圖之相關内 容中找到。 第4圖圖示-範例系統4〇〇，其中對於特定位置所定 義的顯示特性在至少-段時間當中維持靜態使得一圖 標由-第-位置移動到一第二位置即造成一不同顯示特 性的應用。在所圖示的實施例 自使用者的手402藉由第1圖 中’圖標206為回應於來 之顯示裝置110之觸控螢 12 201023026 幕功能所接收的一拖曳手勢，而在使用者介面12〇中由 位置206移動到位置208。 在此範例中’該等顯示特性維持固定至少—段時間。 因此’於位置206處，圖標306顯示在使用者介面i2〇 中具有「+5°」之旋轉角度、「11〇%」之尺寸，及「_3χ _5y」 的一偏置量。但是於位置208處，圖標306係要顯示在 使用者介面120中具有「+20。」之旋轉角度、「7〇%」之 尺寸，及「+7x，-3y」的一偏置量。在一種實施例中，使 用一動晝來提供位置206、208之間的轉換。 例如’因為圖標306被拖曳橫跨使用者介面ι2〇，圖 標306可保持該初始位置之顯示特性，例如位置2〇6。 當到達一終點時（例如該拖曳手勢為放手），可用一「偏 移及設定」動晝來套用該末端位置之顯示特性，例如位 置208。例如，該動畫可套用一旋轉4〇4、一調整尺寸 406、及一偏移408來由位置2〇6之該等顯示特性轉換到 位置208之該等顯示特性。 雖然所圖示的範例利用靜態顯示特性來說明，該等顯 示特性亦可由使用者介面模組丨18動態地決定。例如， 新的顯示特性可在每次一圖標被設置或重新設置在使用 者介面120 _動態地決定。&另一範例中，肖等顯示特 性可在於該使用者介面中一特定位置處產生該圖標時決 定，並且只要該圖標維持在使用者介面12〇中之顯示時 13 201023026 其更進一步討論可在 被保持。亦可考量多種其它範例 以下程序之相關内容中找到。 範例性程序 以下的討論說明可用前 引i之糸統與裝置實施的使用 介面技術。該等程序每一

The user interface module 118 functions as a mobile communication device 102 to generate, manage, and/or output a user interface 12 for display on the display device 110. A variety of different technologies can be utilized to interface the user interface 102. For example, the user interface module 118 can configure the user interface 120 to include a plurality of locations. Each of these locations may have a corresponding display characteristic defined for it's position 122 having display characteristics 124 as shown in the first figure. In this way, the user interface module u8 can determine how to display the icon or content by "where" in an icon or content of the user interface 120 in 201023026, which is further discussed in the following figure. Found in related content. 2 is a more detailed illustration of an example system 200 illustrating user interface 120 of FIG. 1 having a plurality of locations 202-212, each location having a plurality of icons and/or content to be defined for use in a package. Display characteristics. Each of the locations 202-212 shown in Figure 2 is unique such that the bits 202-212 do not share a single point in the user interface 12A. A variety of different display characteristics can be defined for each location 202-212. In the illustrated example, 'each position 202-212 has a defined amount of rotation, which is illustrated as a rotation angle, a size defined as a percentage, and an offset defined by the x/y coordinates. For example, position 202 has a defined display characteristic 'which includes a rotation angle of "+15.", a size of "1〇5%", and an offset amount defined by coordinates "+4x, -3y". However, Location ® 204 has defined display characteristics, including the rotation angle of "_2〇.", the "90%" size, and an offset of "zero." Positions 2〇6, 2〇8, 210, and 212 also have similarly defined display characteristics. These display features can be applied by the user interface module 24 to an icon 214 or other content 216 to be displayed at various locations, a further discussion of which can be found in the related content of FIG. Although the positions 202-212 are illustrated as following the general grid pattern in Fig. 2, the grid is not responsive to the use of the aforementioned offset amount as shown in Fig. 3; 201023026. A variety of other configurations can be considered without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. The use of a conventional hook grid, in conjunction with one or more of these display features. Figure 3 shows a system 300' in which the icon 302-3U is displayed at the respective location 2〇2212 in the user interface 12〇 using the display characteristics defined in Figure 2. In this example, the user interface module ΐ8 has configured the user interface 120 to display the circle ® 302·312 at position 2〇2 212. In this example, the icons represent the contacts that can be selected and make a call using a corresponding number defined for the contact. Each location 202-212 has a display characteristic defined for that location. Thus, the user interface module 118 can apply the display characteristics defined for the location to an icon set at the location. For example, icon 302 is displayed at location 202 in user interface 12A. Thus, the user interface module 118 applies the display characteristics of position 2〇2 to at least a portion of the β icon 302. As shown in the previous figure 2, the display characteristics of position 2〇2 include the rotation angle of "+15.", the size of "1〇5%", and the offset defined by the coordinates "+4x, -3y". the amount. Similarly, the display characteristics of the location 204 are applied by the user interface module 118 to the icon 304' which includes the rotation angle of "_2〇.", the size of "9〇0/〇", and an offset of "zero". . This program can be repeated for the icon 3〇6_312 using the display characteristics defined for the respective position 2〇6 212. As shown in FIG. 3, the user interface module 12 can apply a display portion to the portion of the icon without applying to another portion of the icon. For example, the display characteristics of location 202 are illustrated as being applied to one of the image portions of icon 3〇2 instead of a textual description portion of icon 302. Thus, in this example, the textual description portions of each of the icons 3〇2_312 are maintained relative to each other and/or to the user interface 12〇. A variety of other examples can also be considered. The use of such display features provides the designer with more flexibility to design the user interface 120 on a conventional rigid structure. For example, these techniques can be applied such that an overlap 314 occurs between two or more of the icons, such as icons 3 10, 3 12 . The conflict resolution technique can be utilized by the user interface module 118 to determine which of the icons 31, 312 is to be displayed "above" 'like based on time since the interaction". In another example, the icon 302 At least a portion of the icon 302 is not displayed in the user interface 与2〇. In a further example, these display characteristics can be defined statically or dynamically by the user interface module m, and further discussion can be found in the relevant content of the figure below. Figure 4 illustrates an example system 4, wherein the display characteristics defined for a particular location remain static for at least a period of time such that moving an icon from a - position to a second position results in a different display characteristic application. In the illustrated embodiment, the user interface 402 is in the user interface by the icon 206 in response to the touch function of the touch screen 12 201023026 function of the display device 110 in FIG. 1 . The position 206 moves from position 206 to position 208. In this example, the display characteristics remain fixed for at least a period of time. Thus, at position 206, icon 306 displays a rotation angle of "+5°", a size of "11〇%", and an offset of "_3χ _5y" in user interface i2〇. However, at location 208, icon 306 is displayed with a "+20." rotation angle, a "7"%" dimension, and an "+7x, -3y" offset in user interface 120. In one embodiment, a motion is used to provide a transition between locations 206, 208. For example, because the icon 306 is dragged across the user interface ι2, the icon 306 can maintain the display characteristics of the initial position, such as position 2〇6. When an end point is reached (e.g., the drag gesture is to let go), a "shift and set" motion can be used to apply the display characteristics of the end position, such as position 208. For example, the animation can be applied with a rotation 4〇4, a resize 406, and an offset 408 to convert the display characteristics of position 2〇6 to the display characteristics of position 208. Although the illustrated example utilizes static display characteristics, the display characteristics can also be dynamically determined by the user interface module 丨18. For example, the new display feature can be dynamically determined each time an icon is set or reset at the user interface 120. In another example, the display characteristic of Xiao et al. may be determined when the icon is generated at a specific location in the user interface, and as long as the icon is maintained in the display of the user interface 12 13 13 201023026, which is further discussed. Being kept. You can also consider a variety of other examples found in the relevant content of the following procedures. EXEMPLARY PROCEDURES The following discussion illustrates the interface technology that can be implemented with the predecessor and device. The aspects of each of these procedures can be implemented in hardware, in the body, or in software, or a combination thereof. The bed's are shown as a set of blocks to specify that one or more devices are executing, and that they do not need to be executed by the respective/seeking blocks in the order shown. In the different parts of the discussion below, the environment will be divided into two parts: the environment 1〇〇 to the 4th environment and the system 200-400. Figure 5 shows, in an embodiment, a program in which the display characteristics defined for a location in a user interface are applied to the icon to be displayed at the location. A decision made by the mobile communication device whether the icon is to be displayed at a particular location in a user interface (block 502). For example, the decision can be made in response to the resetting of the icon as in (4) in Figure 4. In another example, the decision may be made when the icon is to be initially displayed in the user interface 12, such as when the device is turned on, when the page is updated, and when the page is updated through the user interface 12 Pages (such as the construction of the case and the sub-slot folder) and so on. - The mobile communication device applies a display characteristic defined for reading a particular location such that the display of the icon is changed by the display characteristic & (block 14 201023026 504). For example, the display characteristic may specify an effect image to be applied, such as rotation, resizing, etc., such that the display of the icon changes depending on the effects of the display characteristics. The icon is then displayed at the particular location in the user interface with display characteristics applied to the display device of the mobile communication device (block 506). For example, the icon 3〇2 can be displayed on the user interface η on the display device 11 of the mobile communication device 102. In the position 2〇2 ® . Figure 6 is a diagram showing a program 6 in an exemplary embodiment in which the display characteristic of the amount of rotation of at least a portion of each of the individual icons is defined based on a user interface for displaying the respective icons. The amount of rotation defined by the respective positions in the application is applied. The decision is made by the mobile communication device that the first and second icons are to be displayed at the first and second locations in the user interface (block 602). For example, the user interface module 8 can detect that a hierarchical level of the user interface 120 is to be browsed to another level including the icon to be displayed, such as by a folder to a sub-folder, and vice versa. . The mobile communication device determines the respective first and second rotation angles defined for the first and second positions (block 6〇4). For example, the decision can be made by querying (eg, from a file, table, etc.) to locate it as defined prior to determining that the first and second icons are to be displayed in the first and second positions. Value. In another example, 15 201023026 the decision may be made dynamically in response to determining that the first and second icons are to be displayed at the first and first locations. A plurality of other examples can also be considered. At least a portion of the first icon is displayed on the display device of the mobile communication device at a first rotational angle at a first location in the user interface (block 606). In addition, at least a portion of the second icons are displayed on the display device of the mobile communication device at the second position in the user interface at the second rotation angle, and the second rotation angle is different. At the first angle of rotation (block 608). Thus, in this example, the icons can be simultaneously displayed in the user interface 120 at different angles of rotation. A variety of other examples can also be considered, such as resizing, offset, and so on.
