Description
- This application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 11/039,058 filed Jan. 18, 2005.
- This invention relates to devices having displaying capabilities and more particularly to such devices that comprise at least two displays, wherein user interface is presented.
- Nowadays there are displays in different devices capable of presenting application related information via an application user interface (UI) that is used by the device in question. A single display type has its own application UI software that enables presenting the information as effectively as possible. Because of different sizes of different displays one user interface is not necessarily suitable for another display, especially if the size difference is great, e.g. when the user interface is designed for a PC display and that same user interface is wanted to be viewed in a PDA display.
- The problems of adapting display data (presentation) between different sizes of displays is taken into account, for example, in publication US 2004/0163046 A1. Said publication relates to a scalable architecture to adapt applications to the user interface of different heterogeneous device platforms. According to the solution presented in the publication, application developers may build an application graphical user interface (GUI) that is independent of the user interface capabilities within each device platform. The architecture allowing this includes a scalable GUI library, a customizing module having a task manager module and a transformation manager module, and a render manager module. When a scalable application is launched or migrated to one of the heterogeneous device platforms an intermediate representation of the application GUI is instantiated by the scalable application. This intermediate representation may be dynamically customized by the customizing module based on the capabilities of the target device platform as well as properties specified by application developers of the application GUI.
- The previous solution is addressed to application developers building applications that can be run by different devices. The solution of the publication is targeted to a situation where the application is at first built and then transferred in the device in question and scaled there. After installing, the application stays in that device and no operations are needed again.
- The current invention relates to a method, a display system, a device, a graphical user interface and a computer program product for adjusting user interface for different displays.
- The method for adjusting a graphical user interface for at least two displays, wherein in response to an activation of at least one of said at least two displays the graphical user interface is refreshed for said activated display according to characteristics of said activated display.
- The display system comprises at least two displays and a graphical user interface for said displays, said system comprising means for activating said displays, whereby in response to an activation of at least one of said at least two displays the graphical user interface is capable of refreshing itself for said activated display according to characteristics of said activated display.
- The device with at least two displays, comprises a graphical user interface for said at least two displays, said device comprising means for activating said displays, whereby in response to an activation of at least one of said at least two displays the graphical user interface is capable of refreshing itself for said activated display according to characteristics of said activated display.
- The graphical user interface for a display, comprises controlling means for receiving information about characteristics of a display in response to an activation of said display, whereby the controlling means are capable of adjusting said graphical user interface according to said characteristics to said activated display.
- The computer program product for a displaying device having at least two displays and a graphical user interface, comprises computer readable instructions configured to receive information on an activation of at least one of said at least two displays, and in response to the activation of said display to refresh the user interface for said activated display according to characteristics of said activated display.
- The other embodiments are described on the attached dependent claims.
- Thanks to the current solution the amount of display specific user interface software on dual display devices can be minimized. Due to the current invention there is no need to have display specific user interface framework or application software, but the one user interface is adjustable between several displays with different characteristics. This is advantageous especially when the displays are within one device, but the invention can be applied also with two different displaying devices.
- The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification, illustrate examples relating to this invention and, together with the description, explain the objects, advantages and principles of the invention. In the drawings
-
FIG. 1 a,b illustrate an example of a device utilizing the present invention, -
FIG. 2 illustrates a block chart example of a structure of the device, -
FIG. 3 a-c illustrate examples of user interface views, -
FIG. 4 a,b illustrate examples of desk application user interface views, -
FIG. 5 a-c illustrate example of imaging application user interface views, and -
FIG. 6 illustrates example of a calendar application UI views. - Although specific terms are used in the following description for the sake of clarity, these terms are intended to refer only to the particular structure of the invention selected for illustration in the drawings and are not necessarily intended to define the scope of the invention.
- In this detailed description a term “PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) display” is used for describing a “wide” screen and “phone display” is used for describing “narrow” screen. It is obvious that terms “wide” and “narrow” may have different sizes in different situation, but the main thing is that these displays are compared to each other, and therefore the other display is “wider” than the other. In some situations also some other characteristics may raise the need for user interface adjusting. For example different shapes of displays (e.g. circular display), different interaction capabilities of displays (e.g. the other one is touch screen), different presentation capabilities of displays (black-and-white compared to color displays), etc. In this description Symbian S60 platform is used as an example of the user interface to be used in the phone display and therefore in this description the extended S60 platform is an example of a platform that can be suited both to phone type of display but also to PDA type of display. However it will be appreciated that the main idea of the invention is not dependent on the platform types.
- In this solution there is no need for display specific user interface software in devices having at least two displays. The information share and the dynamic change of user interface layout can be implemented according to this invention. In this solution display sizes, resolutions and form factors of the displays are assumed to be within the limits of the same UI style as well as the used UI framework may implement run time UI scalability. Run time UI scalability means in this description the capability of the UI framework and applications to obey changes in display characteristics instantly, without re-compiling or re-starting applications.
- The solution is discussed in a more detailed manner by means of an example and
FIGS. 1 and 2 . In theFIGS. 1 , 2 an example of adevice 100 is presented. Before describing the invention in a more detailed manner, thedevice 100 is taken into account by means ofFIG. 2 . - The
device 100 is composed of twoprocessing units first processing unit 201 a is a personal digital assistant (PDA) and theother processing unit 201 b is a wireless communication device.Processing units device 100 comprises alsoprocessors processing units processing units processors device 100 comprises also memory means 204 a, 204 b, bus connecting means 208 a, 208 b, external connecting means 209 to e.g.memory card interface 212 or IR data transfer means. Theother processing unit 201 b comprises communicatingmeans 211 for connecting to communication network. - The communication within the device 200, between the
processing units internal bus 210. The hardware user interfaces UI1, UI2 comprise at least displays 130, 150 and inputting means, such askeypad - The
displays displays FIG. 1 a, b one display is activated when the other is deactivated. The activation/deactivation is carried out by closing and opening acover 110 whereby the when the cover is opened thePDA display 150 is activated and when the cover is closed thephone display 130 is activated. At the same time the other of the displays may be deactivated if not needed. However, in some situations both of the displays can be in activated state, whereby the user interface can be presented on both of the displays. InFIG. 1 a the device is in “opened” position, wherein thecover 110 is opened and thePDA display 150 is active.FIG. 1 b illustrates a situation where thecover 110 is closed, thePDA display 150 is deactivated and thephone display 130 is activated. In this example the activation is due to the function ofcover 110, however the activation of a display can be carried out by launching a display, taking a screensaver off, or by some other operations that cause the activity of the display. For example the activation of display in a device that comprises two displays on opposite sides of said device may occur by detecting which of the two sides is turned to the user. - Due to the activation of one of the
displays - This kind of GUI can be adjusted between the phone display and the PDA display. The GUI applications are processed in different ways depending on which size of display the application is presented. In the following the extended S60 platform is disclosed as an example of a method for handling different applications.
- The extended S60 UI software should be able to take into account the current applications of a telephone unit and how they are adapted to the PDA side, and how typical PDA (specific) applications are handled by S60 UI software that said applications are presented correctly in the PDA display.
- Applications, such as word processor, spreadsheet, Presentation, Browser and Message editors, are typical examples of PDA specific applications. In these applications the application active area is typically filled with application specific content. As this kind of application needs to be able to cope with variable screen sizes in S60 UI software, stretching the screen size to a PDA display is straightforward.
- Applications that have a single column list view, e.g. a telephone application, have data (e.g. text, numbers, icons) arranged into one or more tabulated columns. According to the size and capabilities of the display, the number or amount of the columns to be shown is decided. For example (
FIG. 3 a) in phone display (130) one column is shown and in PDA display (150) two columns are shown. The number or amount of the columns shown is increased according to the width of the display, or the number or amount of the columns shown can be selected by the user. Another example (FIG. 3 b) is to show one column in both display sizes, but showing more content in the PDA display (150). For instance, when the phone display (130) shows as much surname and first name as possible in the telephone application, the PDA display (150) can show names completely. Yet another example (message inbox inFIG. 3 c) is to arrange the tabulated columns horizontally (side by side) on the PDA display (150) and vertically on the phone display (130). - An example of an application having a grid view application is presented in
FIG. 4 a. A typical example grid view application is a desktop, wherein objects are placed one upon the other and side-by-side. The grid view layout can be stretched on the PDA display (150) by placing more objects horizontally. In the phone display (130) the amount of objects side by side is reduced to fit the width of the display by locating the rest vertically. Similarly, with a multicolumn list view (FIG. 4 b) many more columns are presented on the display horizontally in thePDA display 150 than is possible by the current width of thephone display 130. - Voice recorder and Images are typical PDA applications that fill the “empty space” with non-functional content (if any). An S60 application UI can be used to implement these kinds of layouts in the following manner: the application can add application specific graphics (520) and/or status information to the empty space (as in
FIG. 5 b) or the empty space is not utilized at all as inFIG. 5 a or if the device concept supports a pen or stylus input UI and there is space available on the viewing area, the UI framework can provide pen shortcuts (530 inFIG. 5 c) to the empty space. - A dual pane application, such as calendar application, refers to such an application wherein the content of the other pane changes according to the selections or cursor movement on the other pane. For example in calendar application (
FIG. 6 a) the other pane presents a month view (610) and the other pane presents a day view (620). In the phone display (FIG. 6 b) the dual pane view can be implemented by displaying in the first view the first pane (610) and a user selection in it provides an opening of the other pane (620). E.g., in a calendar application, at first the month is displayed whereby the selection of a day invokes the day view. The behavior of a dual pane with S60 in the PDA display can be achieved e.g. by presenting both the month view and the day view on the screen (150) at the same time (e.g. month on left hand side, day view on the right hand side). When the focus is on the month view pane, application code handling a month view functions as with current S60, except that it automatically notifies the day view pane when the cursor moves to another day (which then causes the day view content to be updated). When the focus is on the day view pane, application code handles the day as the in S60 UI. - Other dual pane applications (e.g. message center, contact manager, file manager) can be adjusted similarly. Basically when the focus is on the left hand side pane, the right hand side pane may just only follow the cursor movements and updates its content or vice-versa. When the focus is moved to right hand side pane, it functions as in a phone display. It does not necessarily need to be aware of the left hand side pane at all. If the user interface concept (resolution and screen form factor) supports dual pane mode, application views should normally be able to locate themselves to either of the panes and update their content on-request. Views should normally also be able to present (graphically) whether they are “in-focus” or “out-of-focus” (also GUI framework can handle this).
- Dialog layout (List pane), that can be found from the S60 user interface, does not necessarily utilize a wider screen area as such but the following options could be used on a wider screen area: the current dialog layout is kept but the dialog box is allowed to float on top of the current application or the dialog box GUI can be modified to better utilize horizontal space (when it is available).
- In most cases, the implementation of the adjusting method does not need changes in application implementation. The GUI framework and the applications support the adjusting within limits of the same GUI style, e.g. S60 and S80. Therefore the applications and GUI framework do not necessarily need to know the amounts of the displays, but they are arranged to adjust themselves due to the notification.
- In the previous description the graphical user interface is adjusted to displays according to the characteristics of the display in question. However, anyone skilled in the art will appreciate that the adjusting is not desired every time. For example, text documents (e.g. fax) or web pages may be better presented on every display in such a size that they still can be seen well on the display in question. It should be also noticed that in this description the adjusting is targeted to the width of the user interface. However, this is not always the case. In some situations other adjusting directions can be used as well.
- In the previous description the device comprises two displays.
