Methods and apparatus for rendering applications and widgets on a mobile device interface in a three-dimensional space

A computerized device comprising:

• a memory;
• a processor;
• a communications interface;
• an interconnection mechanism coupling the memory, the processor and the communications interface;
• wherein the memory is encoded with three dimensional structure rendering and executing application that when executed on the processor is capable of rendering and executing a three dimensional structure on the computerized device by performing the operations of:
• representing each of the available applications with a respective image representation on a display associated with the communications device;
• associating each of the image representations with a respective subset of image representations, the subsets of image representations organized to assist a user to locate and interact with the image representations;
• arranging the subsets of image representations in a three dimensional structure t, on the display, the three dimensional structure rendered as a plurality of joined adjacent panels wherein each of the subset of image representations is represented in a respective panel;
• and
• allowing the user to access an available application within the three dimensional structure by manipulating the three dimensional structure three dimensionally, the available application accessed via the respective subset of image representations.

A computer readable medium having computer readable code thereon, the medium comprising:

• instructions for representing each of the available applications with a respective image representation on a display associated with the communications device;
• instructions for associating each of the image representations with a respective subset of image representations, the subsets of image representations organized to assist a user to locate and interact with the image representations;
• instructions for arranging the subsets of image representations in a three dimensional structure, on the display, the three dimensional structure rendered as a plurality of joined adjacent panels wherein each of the subset of image representations is represented in a respective panel;
• and
• instructions for allowing the user to access an available application within the three dimensional structure by manipulating the three dimensional structure three dimensionally, the available application accessed via the respective subset of image representations.
