First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for displaying a polyhedral graphical user interface, the method comprising:
- generating a first polyhedron comprising a plurality of blocks, the plurality of blocks being mapped with a plurality of pieces of information;
displaying the first polyhedron as a graphical user interface;
rotating one or more of the blocks from among the plurality of blocks; and
displaying a second polyhedron as a graphical user interface which corresponds to the first polyhedron after rotating the one or more blocks.

Abstract
Provided is a method and apparatus for providing a three-dimensional (3D) polyhedral user interface. A first polyhedron may be formed of a plurality of blocks which are mapped with a plurality of pieces of information. A user may manipulate rotation of some of the blocks to generate a second polyhedron.
