Abstract
A compass menu is generated as a graphical user interface for an application of a computer. The graphical user interface has a compass structure with at least four branches adjacent to a central button. The graphical user interface receives a user selection on the compass structure. A menu is generated based on the user selection on the compass structure and a context of the application. The menu is displayed adjacent to the compass structure.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- generating a graphical user interface for an application of a computer, the graphical user interface having a compass structure with four branches adjacent to a central button;
- receiving a user selection on the compass structure;
- generating, using a processor of the computer, a menu based on the user selection on the compass structure and on a context of the application;
- and
- displaying the menu adjacent to the compass structure.
A system comprising:
- a processor comprising a compass menu module, the compass menu module configured to generate a graphical user interface for an application of a computer, the graphical user interface having a compass structure with four branches adjacent to a central button;
- and
- a menu generator configured to receive a user selection on the compass structure, to generate a menu based on the user selection on the compass structure and on a context of the application, and to display the menu adjacent to the compass structure.
A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium storing instructions which, when executed by at least one processor, performs operations comprising:
- generating a graphical user interface for an application of a computer, the graphical user interface having a compass structure with four branches adjacent to a central button;
- receiving a user selection on the compass structure;
- generating a menu based on the user selection on the compass structure;
- and
- displaying the menu adjacent to the compass structure.
