Abstract
A wireless terminal device having network access is disclosed. Selection of menus is simplified by allowing selection of more than one input such as direct touching of the screen, virtual keyboards or roller buttons. A focus marker in the form of a border around a field may be used to limit the area of selection. An object menu icon is visible without needing a right click of a mouse to make selection of the menu easier. The selection of options is localized and parsed at the network server before a response to the user selection is sent back to the terminal.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- processing and/or facilitating a processing of a selection of one or more objects that appear on a display using at least two independent selector devices configured to select the one or more objects;
- causing, at least in part, a placement of a focus marker to indicate a selected field of the display, the focus marker being moveable between at least two areas using a first selector device of the at least two independent selector devices;
- and
- causing, at least in part, a second selector device of the at least two selector devices to operate on objects that appear within the selected field of the display indicated by the first selector device.
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following:
- process a selection of one or more objects that appear on a display using at least two independent selector devices configured to select the one or more objects;
- cause, at least in part, placement of a focus marker to indicate a selected field of the display, the focus marker being moveable between at least two areas using a first selector device of the at least two independent selector devices;
- and
- cause, at least in part, a second selector device of the at least two selector devices to operate on objects that appear within the selected field of the display indicated by the first selector device.
A system comprising:
- a mobile device configured to process a selection of one or more objects that appear on a display using at least two independent selector devices configured to select the one or more objects, process a placement of a focus marker to indicate a selected field of the display, the focus marker being moveable between at least two areas using a first selector device of the at least two independent selector devices;
- and process an operation of a second selector device of the at least two selector devices to operate on objects that appear within the selected field of the display indicated by the first selector device;
- and
- a server configured to wirelessly communicate with the mobile device over a network.
