RADIAL GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE
First Claim
1. A method for providing a radial graphical user interface on a computing device display comprising:
- providing a first layer radial menu by displaying a menu item as a circular shape;
providing a second layer radial menu by displaying a number of first menu sub-items related to the first layer radial menu item grouped concentrically around the first layer radial menu in response to a user selecting the first layer radial menu, wherein the second layer radial menu is rotatable by a user;
replacing the first layer radial menu item with the user selected first menu sub-item in response to a user selecting one of the number of first menu sub-items, wherein replacing the first layer radial menu item includes populating the first layer radial menu with the user selected first menu sub-item; and
replacing the number of first menu sub-items with a number of second menu sub-items related to the selected first menu sub-item.

Abstract
Systems, methods, and machine-readable and executable instructions are provided for displaying a radial graphical user interface. The radial graphical user interface can include displaying a first layer radial menu item as a circular shape and displaying a second layer radial menu of a number of first menu sub-items related to the first layer menu item grouped concentrically around the first layer radial menu in response to a user selecting the first menu item. The graphical user interface can also include replacing the first layer menu with a user selected first menu sub-item and replacing the second layer radial menu with a number of second menu sub-items related to the selected first menu sub-item in response to a user selecting one of the number of first menu sub-items, wherein the second layer is rotatable by a user.

7. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions executable by a processor to cause a computing device to:
-
display a first layer radial application launch menu on a graphical user interface as a circular shape; in response to a selection of the application launch by a user, display a second layer radial menu concentrically around the first layer on the graphical user interface, wherein the second layer radial menu includes a number of menu sub-items related to the first layer application launch menu;
[and]in response to a selection of a second layer menu sub-item by a user, display a third layer radial menu concentrically around the second layer radial menu on the graphical user interface, wherein the third layer radial menu includes a number of values of a function of the selected second layer menu sub-item; andin response to a user rotating the third layer radial menu, perform a value among the number of values of the function of the selected second layer menu sub-item. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11)

12. A system for providing a radial graphical user interface comprising:
-
a processor; a memory coupled to the processor and configured to direct the processor to; populate a first layer radial menu with a menu item; display the populated first layer radial menu as a single circular shape on a user interface; in response to user selection of the first layer radial menu, populate a second layer radial menu with menu sub-items of the first layer menu item; display the populated second layer radial menu concentrically grouped around the first layer radial menu on the user interface, wherein the second layer is a number of annular sections forming an annulus; in response to user selection of a second layer radial menu sub-item, populate a third layer radial menu with a group of values of a function of the selected second layer menu sub-item; and display the populated third layer radial menu concentrically grouped around the second layer radial menu on the user interface, wherein the third layer is a number of annular sections forming an annulus; and in response to a user rotating the third layer radial menu, perform a value among the group of values of the function of the selected second layer menu sub-item. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15)
