Data-Oriented User Interface for Mobile Device
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of presenting a graphical user interface presenting actions for performing on a recognized entity, the method comprising:
- displaying an anchor node representing the recognized entity;
displaying one or more action nodes representing contextual actions that can be performed on the recognized entity, wherein the one or more action nodes are adapted to execute the contextual actions responsive to user selection; and

Abstract
A user interface for a mobile device allows users to interact across applications with information relevant to known people, organizations, or locations, referred to herein as “recognized entities.” Every type of recognized entity has associated action options that populate a node menu for that type. The node menu options are selectable, for example, through a touchscreen interface, to rapidly execute the associated action. In another embodiment, a plurality of data windows, referred to as “spinners,” are viewed simultaneously on one display. Each spinner is a view of one or more data objects provided that are distinguished from one another by data type, context, parsing or sorting algorithms, or user interaction with this data. The spinners respond to user actions, to new information from the server, or external events by automatically visibly scrolling the data displayed in the spinner windows.
