Abstract
A computer device comprises a user interface configured to display time information associated with a feature. The time information indicates when the feature will change from one of being available and unavailable to the other of being available and unavailable. The time information changes at a first rate. At least one processor is configured, in response to a user interaction via the user interface, to cause the user interface to display content, the time information being configured to change at a second different rate while the content is displayed.
Claims25
A computer device comprising:
- a user interface comprising a display configured to display time information associated with a feature, the time information indicating when the feature will change from one of being available and unavailable to the other of being available and unavailable;
- and
- at least one processor configured to control the user interface:
- wherein the at least one processor is configured to cause the displayed time information to change at a first rate;
- the user interface is configured to receive a user input;
- and
- the at least one processor is configured, in response to the user input received via the user interface to determine content to be displayed on the user interface, the user interface being configured to display the determined content, and the at least one processor further being configured to cause the displayed time information to change at a second different rate while the content is displayed.
A computer implemented method for controlling a user interface of a computer device, the computer device comprising the user interface and at least one processor, the user interface comprising a display configured to display time information associated with a feature, the time information indicating when the feature will change from one of being available and unavailable to the other of being available and unavailable, the method comprising:
- causing, by the at least one processor, the display of the user interface to display the time information;
- causing, by the at least one processor, the displayed time information to change at a first rate;
- receiving, by the user interface, a user input;
- determining, by the at least one processor, in response to the user input, content to be displayed on the display of the user interface;
- and
- displaying on the display of the user interface the determined content, and causing, by the at least one processor, the displayed time information to change at a second different rate while the content is displayed.
A computer readable non-transitory storage medium carrying one or more computer executable instructions which when run on at least one processor of a computer device provide a method to control a user interface of the computer device, the user interface comprising a display configured to display time information associated with a feature, the time information indicating when the feature will change from one of being available and unavailable to the other of being available and unavailable, the method comprising:
- causing by the at least one processor, the display of the user interface to display the time information;
- causing by the at least one processor the displayed time information to change at a first rate;
- receiving by the user interface a user input;
- determining by the at least one processor, in response to the user input, content to be displayed on the user interface;
- and
- displaying on the display of the user interface the determined content, and
- causing, by the at least one processor, the displayed time information to change at a second different rate while the content is displayed.
