Definitions

  • the invention relates to a graphical user interface.
  • the invention further relates to a method of displaying a graphical user interlace.
  • the invention further relates to a computer program product designed to perform the method of displaying the graphical user interface.
  • the invention further relates to an information carrier comprising the computer program for performing the method of displaying the graphical user interface.
  • the invention further relates to a display device for displaying the graphical user interface.
  • a problem with this solution is that the location of such a parent directory label is fixed, typically at the beginning or at the end of the menu list. In this case, users have to scroll to that position, which can be time-consuming and irritating, especially for long file lists and small displays. Thus it is desirable to make the action labels such as the parent directory label readily accessible for the user without the need to extensively scroll the menu lists. It is an object of the present invention to provide a graphical user interface that comprises action labels and yet works efficiently.
  • the invention provides a graphical user interface comprising a display with a label and an indicated label, a first means for receiving a user input, a second means for measuring the time elapsed from the user input, and a third means for changing the labels displayed in the display when the elapsed time satisfies a first predetermined condition.
  • a graphical user interface has the advantage that it automatically updates the displayed information with no need for user input. This can shorten the delay to update the displayed information while the user is free to engage in other activities.
  • the effectiveness of the system is determined by choosing the first predetermined condition and the set of labels to be displayed. Ideally, the changed display should comprise the most useful contents or action labels, which the user would like to see in the display.
  • the first predetermined condition is that the time elapsed from the user input is at least a predefined period of time.
  • the predefined period of time may be defined in, for example, the manufacturing process or it may be a parameter to be set by the user of the device. If the user does not enter any input during this predefined amount of time elapsed from the user input, the display contents may change and may comprise new labels, preferably some action labels, provided that other required conditions, if any, are also satisfied.
  • the label of the graphical user interface is a contents label or an action label.
  • the labels of the graphical user interface shown in the display describe contents or actions.
  • the contents labels may comprise the titles of tracks or the names of composers.
  • the action labels such as "play” or "up”, may describe actions to be applied to the contents labels such us playing a track or moving up the hierarchy of the contents.
  • the third means for changing the labels in the display are enabled when the display satisfies a second predetermined condition.
  • This embodiment takes the fact into account that it may not always be necessary or useful to change the labels displayed in the display when the time elapsed from the user input satisfies the first predetermined condition. For example, if all the action labels are already present in the display, it is not necessary to change the display to make the action labels easily accessible for a user, as they are already easily accessible. Therefore, a requirement of an additional condition to be satisfied for changing the display may be useful.
  • the second predetermined condition is that the action label is not present in the display.
  • the action label is displayed in the display, all available action labels can be quickly selected, if necessary, by scrolling the contents of the display in a direction. In this case, it is unnecessary to change the labels displayed in the display when the time elapsed from the user input satisfies the first predetermined condition.
  • the graphical user interface as defined in claim
  • the second predetermined condition is that the indicated label is the contents label.
  • the indicated label is the reference label for the user input.
  • the new label comprised in the changed display may be the action label describing an action applicable to the item described by the indicated label if the indicated label is the contents label.
  • the action label can be "play" and the corresponding action can be playing the track described by the indicated label referring to a song or to a musical composition. If the indicated label is the action label, no change of the display takes place.
  • the graphical user interface as defined in claim
  • the new label of the display changed by the third means is the action label.
  • one of the main uses of the present invention is to employ action labels to perform actions of the graphical user interlace.
  • the graphical user interface further comprises a plurality of states, wherein, in each state, the graphical user interface comprises a state-specific label.
  • a multimedia player can be in an "idle” state, when no media file is played, or in a "playback” state, when a track is being played.
  • the action labels and the corresponding actions in the "idle” state may be different from the action labels and the corresponding actions in the "playback” state. For example, deleting the currently played track does not make much sense. However, volume regulation actions are necessary in the "playback" state.

  • the "play", “add to playlist” and “delete” action labels are associated with a contents label only if the subtree defined by the contents label has some valid tracks. If there are no tracks in this subtree, there is no need to associate any one of these labels with the contents label. Hence, none of these labels will be associated with the Polonaises label, for example.

Abstract

Cette invention concerne une interface graphique utilisateur qui comprend des étiquettes d'actions et qui fonctionne efficacement. L'interface graphique utilisateur comprend un écran comportant une étiquette et une étiquette indiquée, une première unité conçue pour recevoir une entrée utilisateur, une seconde unité conçue pour mesurer le temps écoulé depuis l'entrée utilisateur et une troisième unité conçue pour changer les étiquettes affichées dans l'écran lorsque le temps écoulé remplit une première condition prédéterminée. Une telle interface graphique utilisateur a l'avantage de mettre à jour automatiquement les informations affichées sans l'aide d'une entrée utilisateur, ce qui peut réduire le retard de mise à jour des informations affichées et permettre à l'utilisateur de s'engager librement dans d'autres activités. Idéalement, le nouvel écran comprend les contenus ou étiquettes d'actions les plus utiles que l'utilisateur souhaite voir à l'écran.
