First Claim
Patent Images
1. An aural user interface comprising:
- (a) a hierarchical structure of data;
(b) a first input that permits the selection of a first set of data of a first level of said hierarchical structure and provides an audio output in response to said selection of said first set of data;
(c) a second input that permits the selection of a second set of data of a second level of said hierarchical structure, where said first level and said second level are different, and provides an audio output in response to said selection of said second set of data;
(d) a third input that permits the selection of one of said first set of data when said first level is selected and provides an audio output in response to said selection of one of said first set of data; and
(e) said third input permits the selection of one of said second set of data when said second level is selected and provides an audio output in response to said selection of one of said second set of data.

5. An aural user interface comprising:
-
(a) a hierarchical structure of data;
(b) a first input that permits the selection of a first set of data of a first level of said hierarchical structure;
(c) a second input that permits the selection of a second set of data of a second level of said hierarchical structure, where said first level and said second level are different;
(d) a third input that permits the selection of one of said first set of data when said first level is selected and provides an audio output with variable frequency in response to said selection of one of said first set of data; and
(e) said third input permits the selection of one of said second set of data when said second level is selected and provides an audio output with variable frequency in response to said selection of one of said second set of data. - View Dependent Claims (6)

7. An aural user interface comprising:
-
(a) a hierarchical structure of data;
(b) a first input that permits the selection of a first set of data of a first level of said hierarchical structure and provides a first speech based audio output in response to said selection of said first set of data;
(c) a second input that permits the selection of a second set of data of a second level of said hierarchical structure, where said first level and said second level are different, and provides a second speech based audio output in response to said selection of said second set of data, where said first speech based audio output is indicative of a higher level of said hierarchical structure than said second speech based audio output;
(d) a third input that permits the selection of one of said first set of data when said first level is selected; and
(e) said third input permits the selection of one of said second set of data when said second level is selected. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10)
