Abstract
A method including causing, at least in part, display of selectable objects on a graphical user interface, where each of the selectable objects corresponds to data or an application accessible via the graphical user interface. The method further includes causing, at least in part, display of the selectable objects in motion travelling across the graphical user interface based on a category of the selectable object or context dependent data, and allowing user selection and manipulation of the selectable objects displayed on the graphical user interface.
Claims17
A method comprising:
- causing, at least in part, display of selectable objects on a graphical user interface, wherein each of the selectable objects corresponds to data or an application accessible via the graphical user interface;
- causing, at least in part, display of the selectable objects in motion travelling across the graphical user interface based on a category of the selectable object or context dependent data;
- and
- allowing user selection and manipulation of the selectable objects displayed on the graphical user interface,
- wherein the user selection and manipulation includes allowing a user to select a first selectable object of the selectable objects, and remove the first selectable object from being displayed on the graphical user interface, and
- wherein the removed first selectable object is reduced in priority of display as compared to other selectable objects for subsequent display of the removed first selectable object.
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code,
- the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following:
- cause, at least in part, display of selectable objects on a graphical user interface, wherein each of the selectable objects corresponds to data or an application accessible via the graphical user interface;
- cause, at least in part, display of the selectable objects in motion travelling across the graphical user interface based on a category of the selectable object or context dependent data;
- and
- allow user selection and manipulation of the selectable objects displayed on the graphical user interface,
- wherein the user selection and manipulation includes allowing a user to select a first selectable object of the selectable objects, and remove the first selectable object from being displayed on the graphical user interface, and
- wherein the removed first selectable object is reduced in priority of display as compared to other selectable objects for subsequent display of the removed first selectable object.
A computer-readable storage medium carrying one or more sequences of one or more instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause an apparatus to at least perform the following steps:
- causing, at least in part, display of selectable objects on a graphical user interface, wherein each of the selectable objects corresponds to data or an application accessible via the graphical user interface;
- causing, at least in part, display of the selectable objects in motion travelling across the graphical user interface based on a category of the selectable object or context dependent data;
- and
- allowing user selection and manipulation of the selectable objects displayed on the graphical user interface,
- wherein the user selection and manipulation includes allowing a user to select a first selectable object of the selectable objects, and remove the first selectable object from being displayed on the graphical user interface, and
- wherein the removed first selectable object is reduced in priority of display as compared to other selectable objects for subsequent display of the removed first selectable object.
