Depicting signal strength and battery level of a mobile communications device
First Claim
1. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media having computer-useable instructions embodied thereon for performing a method of depicting a battery level and a signal strength of a mobile communications device, the method comprising:
- referencing an indication of the battery level;
referencing an indication of the signal strength, wherein the signal strength is a strength of a wireless communications signal that the mobile communications device is receiving;
determining an applicable scene that is to be used to present the battery level and the signal strength; and
presenting the scene on a display of the mobile communications device to convey the battery level and the signal strength,wherein the scene includes a depiction of two items that collectively reflect a real-world situation,wherein the first item includes a first set of one or more features that collectively represent the battery level, andwherein the second item includes a second set of one or more features that collectively represent the signal strength.
