Menu items may be organized responsive to user input. | 02-05-2009 |
20090153341 | Motion activated user interface for mobile communications device - Disclosed is a system for interpreting motion of a mobile communications device as input to the mobile communications device. The system includes a processor for executing the various software components, a display, a microphone, a speaker, storage means for storing one or more motions and associated actions, a motion detecting device, and a sensing and interpretation application. The sensing and interpretation application detects motion of the mobile communications device via the motion detecting device. It then determines the current mode of the mobile communications device and compares the detected motion against a database of motions. Each stored motion is associated with a mode and an action to be performed by the mobile communications device. Upon finding a match between the detected motion and a motion in the storage means, the action associated with the detected motion and the current mode of the mobile communications device is performed. | 06-18-2009 |
20090305682 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR WEBPAGE DISPLAY IN A PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE - An improved system and method for displaying webpage content on a portable electronic device is provided. An entire webpage may be displayed in a display of the portable electronic device. Layout parameters may define a plurality of focus areas of content portions within the webpage. A user may select a focus area, and display settings may be applied to the focus area to provide an enhanced display of the focus area. In addition, the system may store the layout parameters and display settings for future application. When a user accesses a previously accessed webpage, or one similar to a previously accessed webpage, the stored layout parameters and display settings may be applied automatically. In this manner, an enhanced display of webpage content is provided with minimal user effort. | 12-10-2009 |
