Method of rotating a three-dimensional icon to its original face

An apparatus for manipulating a three-dimensional icon on a display of a computer system, wherein the three-dimensional icon includes a plurality of faces, at least one of which containing at least one displaying item of information, wherein the plurality of faces are joined together to form the three-dimensional icon, wherein the apparatus comprises:

• (A) means for displaying a first face of the plurality of faces of the three-dimensional icon front most on the display, said first face containing a first button marker, wherein the first button marker is associated with a second face of the plurality of faces of the three-dimensional icon;
• (B) means for displaying the second face front most on the display by activating the first button marker with a signal generation device;
• (C) means for displaying the three-dimensional icon by again displaying the first face front most on the display after the second face has been displayed front most on the display through an origin return action.

A display system, comprising:

• (A) a processor;
• (B) a display coupled to the processor;
• (C) a memory coupled to the processor for storing data, wherein the memory stores data for displaying a first face of a three-dimensional icon front most on the display and data for displaying a second face of the three-dimensional icon front most on the display, the three-dimensional icon having a plurality of faces including the first and second faces, wherein the plurality of faces of the three-dimensional icon are joined together to form the three-dimensional icon, the memory also storing data for a first button marker, contained on the first face that is associated with the second face of the three-dimensional icon such that when the first button marker is activated, the processor retrieves from the memory the data for displaying the second face front most, the processor displaying the first face front most on the display, and if the first button marker is activated by a signal generation device, the processor displays the second face front most on the display, the processor displaying the three-dimensional icon again by displaying the first face front most on the display after the second face has been displayed front most on the display through an origin return action.
