A computer-implemented menu management method for use in an electronic device, comprising:
- receiving a first trigger;
- and
- in response to the first trigger, displaying a menu of a specific function, wherein the menu comprises a base part, and at least one layer surrounding the base part, in which the base part displays an indicator illustrating a current configuration of the specific function, and a first layer displays a first set of at least one tool set for the specific function.
A menu management system for use in an electronic device, comprising:
- a reception unit receiving a first trigger;
- a display unit;
- and
- a processing unit, in response to the first trigger, displaying a menu of a specific function via the display unit, wherein the menu comprises a base part, and at least one layer surrounding the base part, in which the base part displays an indicator illustrating a current configuration of the specific function, and a first layer displays a first set of at least one tool set for the specific function.
A machine-readable storage medium comprising a computer program, which, when executed, causes a device to perform a menu management method, comprising:
- receiving a first trigger;
- and
- in response to the first trigger, displaying a menu of a specific function, wherein the menu comprises a base part, and at least one layer surrounding the base part, in which the base part displays an indicator illustrating a current configuration of the specific function, and a first layer displays a first set of at least one tool set for the specific function.
