- displaying a plurality of primary items in a circular menu system;
- detecting a rotating movement of said multidetector;
- rotating, in response to said rotating movement, said plurality of primary items in said circular menu system, highlighting one primary item at a time;
- displaying for a currently highlighted primary item a plurality of selectable secondary items associated with said highlighted primary item;
- detecting a navigation input of said multidetector;
- and
- highlighting in response to said navigation input a selectable secondary item of said plurality of secondary items.
10-11. (canceled)
13-15. (canceled)
An apparatus comprising a processor, a display, and a multidetector, said processor being configured to display a plurality of primary items in a circular menu system;
- said processor being configured to detect a rotating movement of said multidetector;
- said processor being configured to rotate, in response to said rotating movement, said plurality of primary items in said circular menu system, highlighting one primary item at a time;
- said processor being configured to display for a currently highlighted primary item a plurality of selectable secondary items associated with said highlighted primary item;
- said processor being configured to detect a navigation input of said multidetector;
- and
- said process being configured to highlight in response to said navigation input a selectable secondary item of said plurality of secondary items.
A computer program product comprising instructions for;
- displaying a plurality of primary items in a circular menu system;
- detecting a rotating movement of said multidetector;
- rotating, in response to said rotating movement, said plurality of primary items in said circular menu system, highlighting one primary item at a time;
- displaying for a currently highlighted primary item a plurality of selectable secondary items associated with said highlighted primary item;
- detecting a navigation input of said multidetector;
- highlighting in response to said navigation input a selectable secondary item of said plurality of secondary items.
