First Claim
1. A method of processing image data, the method being carried out in an electronic device, the device having processing circuitry, memory and a display device, the method comprising:
- performing a transformation operation on a first image data of at least one two-dimensional graphical component to generate second image data, the second image data defining, for the at least one graphical component, a modified form of the graphical component;
performing a second operation comprising;
determining whether a first graphical component that is in modified form intersects with a concurrently displayed second graphical component that is in modified form; and
, if they are intersecting, determining whether to merge the first and second intersecting graphical components, based on a sum of areas of the first and second intersecting graphical components; and
subsequent to the second operation and based on a determination that at least one of the first and second graphical components comprises a dirty region, displaying, using said second image data, the modified form of the first graphical component,wherein the at least one graphical component has the appearance of having a component of dimension perpendicular the plane of the display device.

Abstract
User interface (UI) techniques, and more particularly to graphical user interface (GUI) techniques providing 3-dimensional (3-D) renditions. A method of displaying one or more graphical objects, the method being carried out in an electronic device, the device having processing circuitry, memory and a display device, the method comprising: obtaining first image data defining at least one two-dimensional graphical component; performing a transformation operation on the first image data to generate second image data defining, for the or each graphical component, a modified form of the graphical component; using said second image data, displaying the modified form whereby the or each graphical component has the appearance of having a component of dimension perpendicular to the plane of the display device. Disclosed GUIs can be employed by users to interact with electronic devices having a display, in particular but not limited to hand-held devices with small screens.

10. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions thereon for executing a method of processing image data, the method comprising:
-
performing a transformation operation on a first image data of at least one two-dimensional graphical component to generate second image data, the second image data defining, for the at least one graphical component, a modified form of the graphical component; performing a second operation comprising;
determining whether a first graphical component that is in modified form intersects with a concurrently displayed second graphical component that is in modified form; and
, if they are intersecting, determining whether to merge the first and second intersecting graphical components, based on a sum of areas of the first and second intersecting graphical components; andsubsequent to the second operation and based on a determination that at least one of the first and second graphical components comprises a dirty region, displaying the modified form of the first graphical component, whereby the first graphical component has the appearance of having a component of dimension perpendicular the plane of the display device. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
