1. An electronic device, comprising:
- a UI, the UI being enabled to present a first set of user selectable items having a first modality of interaction that comprises a sensory or physiological process and a second set of selectable items comprising attributes that each map to a specific item in the first set, the items in the first set having a lower information resolution than the items in the second set, an item in the first set being selectable through selection of the mapped attribute item in the second set, the selection of the item causing the UI to render a third set of items for the user to select from using a second modality of interaction that comprises a sensory or physiological process different from the first modality.

Abstract
An electronic device has a UI that provides first user-selectable options. Second user selectable options are made available upon selection of a specific one of the first options. An information resolution of the first options, when rendered, differs from the information resolution of the second options when rendered. Also, a first modality of user interaction with the UI for selecting from the first options differs from a second modality of user interaction with the UI for selecting from the second options.

7. A computer-implemented method for information resolution on an electronic device, comprising:
providing a UI enabled to present a first set of user selectable items having a first modality of interaction that comprises a sensory or physiological process and a second set of selectable items comprising attributes that each map to a specific item in the first set, the items in the first set having a lower information resolution than the items in the second set, an item in the first set being selectable through selection of the mapped attribute item in the second set, the selection of the item causing the UI to render a third set of items for the user to select from using a second modality of interaction that comprises a sensory or physiological process different from the first modality. - View Dependent Claims (8)
- 9. A computer readable medium having encoding for a UI, the UI being enabled to present a first set of user selectable items having a first modality of interaction that comprises a sensory or physiological process and a second set of selectable items comprising attributes that each map to a specific item in the first set, the items in the first set having a lower information resolution than the items in the second set, an item in the first set being selectable through selection of the mapped attribute item in the second set, the selection of the item causing the UI to render a third set of items for the user to select from using a second modality of interaction that comprises a sensory or physiological process different from the first modality.
