Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to menu systems and user interfaces. More specifically, the present invention includes an enhanced menu system for simplifying the use of video conferencing and related systems. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • menus as a part of user interfaces, is becoming increasingly common. This is exemplified most clearly within the user interfaces of modern computer systems. These computer systems often provide powerful menus that greatly simplify the use of these devices. For this reason, menus have become almost ubiquitous within this particular environment.
  • Menus may be deeply nested in complex hierarchies. Different features may be activated by different mouse buttons, different numbers of button clicks or combinations of keyboard inputs and mouse inputs. This works well in the computer environment because the average computer user may be counted on to spend a great deal of time interacting with his or her computer. This means that the average user will have time to learn many features of a complex menu system. It also means that the average user will probably not forget these learned features between uses of his or her computer system.
  • the present invention provides a menu system for video teleconferencing and related systems.
  • the menu system is arranged as a hierarchical series of levels.
  • the highest level of this hierarchy is a group of buttons included within a remote control or other device for user interaction.
  • Each of these top level buttons activates a respective first level menu on a video display.
  • Each first level menu includes an associated label or icon on the display screen that reminds the user which menu he or she has selected. Thus, if the user hits a setup button, the corresponding first level menu includes a label such as "setup" or an icon associated with the setup process.
  • Each first level menu also includes a list of one or more first level options. Preferably, these are arranged as a vertical column.
  • the menu system allows the user to choose between the first level options within this list.
  • the selection process is typically performed using up and down buttons included on the remote control. The up and down buttons cause each first level option to be highlighted in turn. When the user reaches the desired first level option, he or she presses a select button on the remote control to select that first level option.
  • Each first level option may have an associated second level menu.
  • the second level menu for the highlighted first level option is displayed next to the vertical column of first level options. It should be noted that the displayed second level menu does not replace the first level menu. This means that the activated first level menu (along with its identifying label or icon) remains visible while the second level menu is displayed. This provides the user with a clear indication of where he or she is in the menu hierarchy. It should also be noted that the selected first level option remains highlighted whenever the associated second level menu is displayed. This reinforces the user's ability to orient himself within the menu hierarchy.
  • Second level menus may be interactive or non-interactive.
  • Non-interactive second level menus are used to display data.
  • a non-interactive second level menu may be associated with a "status" first level option. When the user causes the "status" first level option to be highlighted, the associated non-interactive second level menu would be used to display status information.
  • Interactive second level menus are used as sub-menus and must be activated before use.
  • the user activates a second level menu of this type by first highlighting its associated first level option. Once the desired second level menu is highlighted, the user presses an activating button.
  • interactive second level menus preferably include respective lists of options. In this case, these options are referred to as second level options. Preferably, these options are arranged as a vertical column. The menu system allows the user to choose between the second level options in a manner that is similar to the selection of first level options.
  • Each selected second level option may add a selection dialog to the video display. It should be noted that the selection dialog is added to the second level menu and does not replace the second level menu or first level menu. This means that the activated first and second level menus remain visible during the activation of the selection dialog. Once again, this provides the user with a clear indication of where he or she is in the menu hierarchy. The selected second level option remains highlighted during the time that the second level menu and dialog is activated. This reinforces the user's ability to orient himself within the menu hierarchy.
  • the selection dialogs allow the user to perform various tasks, such as entering a name, or choosing a particular value from a list. For typical embodiments, the user performs these tasks using the up, down, enter and other remote control buttons.
  • the menu system includes a multilevel hierarchy with selection buttons at the top, followed by first and second level menu levels, followed by selection dialogs.
  • An identifying label such as "setup” or "call,” is associated with the menu selection buttons and appears on the display screen.
  • the menu system ensures that each higher level menu is maintained onscreen during activation of lower level menus.
  • the menu system also ensures that the selected first and second level options in each menu remain highlighted. This makes the menu system particularly easy to navigate.
  • the menu system may be configured to include more or fewer menu levels. In each case, it is desirable to maintain the display of higher level menus during the activation of lower level menus as well as the highlighting of selected options within each level. For some embodiments, it may be desirable to augment the menu system through the use of an escape or exit button included in the remote control. When the user presses the escape button the menu system exits from any currently active selection dialog and any currently active menu. This provides the user a one-step shortcut for exiting the menu hierarchy.

For the purposes of this description, it should be noted that these buttons include four directional buttons: an up button 200, a down button 202, a right button 204 and a left button 206. Remote control 112 also includes a select button 208, a save button 210, an exit button 212, a setup button 214, a call button 216 and a delete button 218.
  • the present invention provides a menu system for video teleconferencing and related systems.
  • the menu system is arranged as a hierarchical series of levels. For the particular embodiment being described, the highest level of this hierarchy corresponds to setup button 214 and call button 216. User activation of either of these buttons causes control unit 110 to display a respective first level menu on display monitor 102. It should be appreciated that different embodiments of the present invention may include more or fewer button-activated first level menus.
  • Figure 3 shows a representative first level menu 300.
  • First level menu 300 is intended to correspond to call button 216. This means that control unit 110 displays first level menu 300 each time call button 216 is activated.
  • First level menu 300 includes a label or icon 302 that reminds the user which first level menu 300 he or she has selected. In the case of first level menu 300 of Figure 3, label 300 reads "Call". This corresponds to call button 216.
  • First level menu 300 includes a series of first level options 304a through 304e.
  • First level options 304 are arranged as a vertical column. In general, it may be appreciated that first level options 304 may be arranged in any suitable pattern and that the column configuration of Figure 3 is purely representative. Whenever first level menu 300 is active, one of first level options 304 is highlighted. The user may control the particular first level option 304 that is highlighted using up button 200 and down button 202.
  • a second level menu 306 is positioned to be adjacent to the column of first level options 304.
  • Each first level option 304 has an associated second level menu 306 of this type.
  • Control unit 110 displays the second level menu 306 for the selected first level option 304 whenever that first level option 304 is highlighted. Thus, if the user changes the first level option 304 that is highlighted (using up button 200 and down button 202), control unit 110 updates the particular second level menu 306 that is displayed.
  • the display of second level menu 306 and the column of first level options 304 is side-by-side. Other embodiments may use other forms of concurrent display.
  • Second level menus 306 may be interactive or non-interactive. Non-interactive second level menus 306 are used to display data. As an example, a non-interactive second level menu 306 may be associated with a "status" first level option 304. When the user causes the "status" first level option 304 to be highlighted (using up button 200 and down button 202) the associated non-interactive second level menu 306 would be used to display status information. Interactive second level menus 306 are used as sub-menus and must be activated before use. The user activates a second level menu 306 of this type by first highlighting its associated first level option 304 (using up button 200 and down button 202). Once the desired first level option 304 is highlighted, the user presses right button 204. This is shown in Figure 4, where a second level menu 306 associated with first level option 304a has been activated.
  • Interactive second level menus 306 are similar, in some ways, to first level menus 300.
  • second level menu 306 includes a series of second level options 400a through 400e. Whenever second level menu 306 is active, one of second level options 400 is highlighted. The user may control the particular second level option 400 that is highlighted using up button 200 and down button 202. It should be noted that activation of a second level menu 306 does not cause the associated first level option 304 to become un- highlighted. Instead, the associated first level option 304 remains highlighted and one of the second level options 400 becomes highlighted as well. This provides the user with a visual clue as to which first level option 304 has been activated. In effect this informs the user of his or her current location within the menu hierarchy.
  • Each second level option 400 may have an associated selection dialog.
  • Selection dialog is intended to be a general term that encompasses a range of different interactive menu types.
  • the selection dialogs allow the user to perform various tasks, such as entering a name, or choosing a particular value from a list.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un système de menu pour un environnement de téléconférence vidéo. Ce système de menu est conçu sous forme de séries hiérarchiques de niveaux (302, 306). Au plus haut niveau (302), le système de menu comporte un ou plusieurs menus de premier niveau (304a-304e). Chaque menu de premier niveau est activé par un bouton respectif sur une commande à distance (216) ou un autre dispositif de commande. Chaque menu de premier niveau (300) comprend une série d'options. Chaque option (304a-304e) possède un menu associé de deuxième niveau (306) affiché quand l'option est mise en évidence (304a). Un menu de deuxième niveau (306) peut être activé par mise en évidence de son option associée de premier niveau (304a) puis par pression d'un bouton prédéterminé sur la commande à distance (112). Une fois que le menu de niveau est activé, l'utilisateur peut effectuer une sélection dans une série d'options de deuxième niveau (400) comprise dans le menu de deuxième niveau. Chaque option de deuxième niveau (400a-400e) active un dialogue de sélection associé. Ce système de menu est conçu de sorte que la totalité des niveaux actifs de la hiérarchie sont affichés à tous moments. De ce fait, un dialogue de sélection actif serait présenté avec son menu actif associé de deuxième niveau et son menu associé de premier niveau. Ceci permet d'orienter l'utilisateur et de simplifier la navigation. Toutes les options actives sont également maintenues à l'état de mise en évidence. Ceci renforce la capacité de l'utilisateur à déterminer sa localisation dans la hiérarchie du menu.
