Abstract
An intuitive and natural menu selection pattern is provided that allows a user to quickly and easily navigate though a hierarchical menu while mitigating errors associated with making a menu selection. The hierarchical menu can be presented as a flower-like design whereby a main menu item is a central item and lower level menu items are gathered around or near its corresponding upper level menu item. As a menu item is selected, its appearance can change indicating that such item has been selected.
