Abstract
Some embodiments provide a user interface that includes a top page having an x-axis and a y-axis that extend at least partially along horizontal and vertical directions, and an imaginary z-axis that extends into the depth of the top page. The user interface of sonic embodiments includes a first subpage that is accessible from a top page and a second subpage, which is further in depth along the z-axis than the first subpage, that is accessible from the first subpage. The top page may change in appearance throughout the duration of time when at least the first subpage is shown to place focus away from the top page.
Claims20
A non-transitory machine readable medium storing a program that when executed by at least one processing unit provides a user interface (UI), the UI comprising:
- a page having an x-axis and a y-axis that extend at least partially along horizontal and vertical directions, and an imaginary z-axis that extends into the depth of the page;
- a plurality of subpages that are positioned along the z-axis at various depths, including a first subpage that is accessible from the page and a second subpage, which is further in depth along the z-axis than the first subpage, that is accessible from the first subpage,
- wherein the page changes in appearance throughout the duration of time when at least the first subpage is shown to place focus away from the page and returns to the page's previous appearance when the first subpage is not shown.
A method of providing a user interface (UI), the UI comprising:
- providing a page having an x-axis and a y-axis that extend at least partially along horizontal and vertical directions, and an imaginary z-axis that extends into the depth of the page;
- providing a plurality of subpages that are positioned along the z-axis at various depths, including a first subpage that is accessible from the page and a second subpage, which is further in depth along the z-axis than the first subpage, that is accessible from the first subpage,
- wherein the page changes in appearance throughout the duration of time when at least the first subpage is shown to place focus away from the page and returns to the page's previous appearance when the first subpage is not shown.
