Abstract
In example embodiments, space filling elements displayed on a computer screen represent items in one or more levels of a hierarchical menu structure. The area of a space filling element indicates the number of accesses to an application associated with the space filling element. Other attributes of the space filling element may indicate values of characteristics of an associated application.
Claims26
An apparatus comprising:
- one or more processors;
- a computer display coupled to the one or more processors;
- and
- logic encoded in one or more non-transitory computer readable media for execution by the one or more processors and with the one or more processors, when executing the logic, performing the acts of:
- accessing, in response to user input, a selected level of a hierarchical menu, with the selected level including a plurality of menu items;
- accessing metadata for each menu item in the selected level to determine a factor value related to each menu item;
- calculating the area of a like plurality of space filling elements, with the area of each space filling element being in proportion the factor value of a menu item associated with the space filling element;
- and
- displaying the plurality of space filling elements on the computer display, with each space filling element displayed having a calculated area.
A method, performed by a computer system, comprising:
- accessing, by the computer system and in response to user input, a selected level of a hierarchical menu, with the selected level including a plurality of menu items;
- accessing, by the computer system, metadata for each menu item in the selected level to determine a factor value relating to each menu item;
- calculating, by the computer system, the area of a like plurality of space filling elements, with the area of each space filling element being in proportion to the factor value of a menu item associated with the space filling element has been accessed;
- and
- displaying, by the computer system, the plurality of space filling elements on the computer display, with each space filling element displayed having a calculated area.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising encoded program code for execution by one or more computer processors on a computer, the program code when executed is executable to perform the acts of:
- accessing, in response to user input, a selected level of a hierarchical menu, with the selected level including a plurality of menu items;
- accessing metadata for each menu item in the selected level to determine a factor value relating to each menu item;
- calculating the area of a like plurality of space filling elements, with the area of each space filling element being in proportion to the factor value relating to a menu item associated with the space filling element has been accessed;
- and
- displaying the plurality of space filling elements on the computer display, with each space filling element displayed having a calculated area.
