First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for navigating options within a user interface, comprising:
- providing a first sequence of cards, each card graphically representing an available option from one of a plurality of option types;
providing a user interface including a focus area intersected by a first axis and a second axis, the first axis being perpendicular to the second axis;
displaying a set of cards representing filters along the second axis, each filter corresponding to a respective one of the plurality of option types;
receiving a selection of a filter in response to a user scrolling the set of filter cards along the second axis to align a corresponding filter card with the focus area;
filtering the first sequence of cards according to the selected filter to produce a second sequence of cards, the second sequence of cards only including cards representing the type of option corresponding to the selected filter; and
displaying at least a subset of the second sequence of cards along the first axis, one card being displayable within the focus area.

Abstract
A sequence of cards representing filters is displayed along a first axis of a user interface with a single card being displayed in a focus area. The card in the focus area defines a selected object type filter, which is applied to another sequence of available options. The filtered sequence is then displayed along another (perpendicular) axis of the user interface, which only includes options corresponding to the selected option type filter.

11. A system for navigating options within a user interface, comprising:
-
a memory for storing a first sequence of cards, each card graphically representing an available option from one of a plurality of option types, the memory also storing a set of filter cards, each filter card representing a filter corresponding to a respective one of the plurality of option types; a display interface for presenting a focus area intersected by a first axis and a second axis, the first axis being perpendicular to the second axis, at least a subset of the filter cards being displayed along the first axis; and an input interface for receiving a user selection of a filter in response to the at least a subset of filter cards being scrolled along the first axis to align a corresponding filter card with the focus area, wherein the display interface is to display, in response to selection of a filter, at least a subset of the second sequence of cards along the second axis, one card being displayable within the focus area, the second sequence of cards only including cards representing the type of option corresponding to the selected filter. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A system for navigating options within a user interface, comprising:
-
means for providing a first sequence of cards, each card graphically representing an available option from one of a plurality of option types; means for providing a user interface including a focus area intersected by a first axis and a second axis, the first axis being perpendicular to the second axis; means for displaying a set of cards representing filters along the second axis, each filter corresponding to a respective one of the plurality of option types; means for receiving a selection of a filter in response to a user scrolling the set of filter cards along the second axis to align a corresponding filter card with the focus area; means for filtering the first sequence of cards according to the selected filter to produce a second sequence of cards, the second sequence of cards only including cards representing the type of option corresponding to the selected filter; and displaying at least a subset of the second sequence of cards along the first axis, one card being displayable within the focus area.

21. A method for navigating options within a user interface, comprising:
-
providing a first set of cards, each card graphically representing an available option from one of a plurality of option types; providing a user interface including a focus area; displaying a sequence of filter cards representing different filters along a first axis of the user interface intersecting the focus area, each filter corresponding to a respective one of the plurality of option types; receiving a selection of a filter in response to a user scrolling the sequence of filter cards along the first axis to align a corresponding filter card with the focus area, wherein each filter card represents a single filter, and wherein the sequence of filter cards is scrolled through the focus area without scrolling any cards not in the sequence; filtering the first set of cards according to the selected filter to produce a second set of cards, the second set of cards only including cards representing the type of option corresponding to the selected filter; and displaying at least a subset of the second set of cards along a second axis of the user interface that is perpendicular to the first axis, one card being displayable within the focus area, wherein the second set of cards is displayed in response to the filter card corresponding to the selected filter being aligned with the focus area without any additional selection action.
