Portable communication apparatus, and a method of controlling a user interface thereof
First Claim
1. A method of controlling a user interface of a portable communication apparatus, said user interface including a display and a manual input device, said display having a limited presentation area, said manual input device comprising a rotary element, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving graphical data to be presented, wherein said graphical data represents a required presentation area which is larger than said limited presentation area of said display;
presenting a first sub area of said required presentation area on said display;
accepting a first user input through said manual input device in the form of a rotary movement of said rotary element, said first user input indicating a desired navigation direction within said required presentation area;
accepting a second user input through said manual input device in the form of a rotary movement of said rotary element, said second user input indicating a desired navigation distance within said required presentation area in said desired navigation direction; and
presenting a second sub area of said required presentation area on said display, wherein the angular displacement of said second sub area with respect to said first sub area is determined by said first user input and wherein the vectorial displacement of said second sub area with respect to said first sub area is determined by said second user input.

Abstract
A method of controlling a user interface of a portable communication apparatus (100) is disclosed. The user interface includes a display (240, 336) with a limited presentation area (352) and a manual input device (250, 338) with a rotary element (252). Graphical data to be presented is received and represents a required presentation area (500) larger than said limited presentation area. A first sub area (510) of said required presentation area is presented on said display. A first user input is accepted through said manual input device as a rotator rotary movement of said rotary element, indicating a desired navigation direction within said required presentation area. A second user input is accepted through said manual input device as a rotary movement of said rotary element, indicating a desired navigation distance within said required presentation area in said desired navigation direction. The second sub area (510′″) of said required presentation area is presented on said display, wherein the angular and vectorial displacement, respectively, of said second sub area with respect to said first sub area is determined by said first and second user input, respectively.
