Abstract
A system for traversing between nodes within a user interface receives a directional command from a user. The directional command is a command to move a focus away from a current node. The system also determines a next node to move the focus onto. The determining the next node is based on the relative positioning between the current node and the other nodes. The determining the next node is based on previous movements of the focus that were performed prior to moving the focus onto the current node. The system also performs movement of the focus from the current node onto the next node.
Claims21
A computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to traverse between nodes within a user interface, the traversing comprising:
- receiving at least one directional command from a user, wherein the at least one directional command is a command to move a focus away from a current node;
- determining a next node to move the focus onto, wherein the determining the next node is based on a relative positioning between the current node and the other nodes, and the determining the next node is based on previous movements of the focus that were performed prior to moving the focus onto the current node;
- and
- performing movement of the focus from the current node onto the next node.
A computer-implemented method for traversing between nodes within a user interface, the method comprising:
- receiving at least one directional command from a user, wherein the at least one directional command is a command to move a focus away from a current node;
- determining a next node to move the focus onto, wherein the determining the next node is based on a relative positioning between the current node and the other nodes, and the determining the next node is based on previous movements of the focus that were performed prior to moving the focus onto the current node;
- and
- performing movement of the focus from the current node onto the next node.
A system comprising:
- a processor;
- a computer readable medium coupled to the processor and storing instructions;
- and
- a user interface coupled to the processor
- wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to display a plurality of nodes on the user interface and traverse between the nodes in response to receiving a directional command to move a focus away from a current node, the traversing comprising:
- determining a next node to move the focus onto, wherein the determining the next node is based on a relative positioning between the current node and the other nodes, and the determining the next node is based on previous movements of the focus that were performed prior to moving the focus onto the current node;
- and
- performing movement of the focus from the current node onto the next node.
