Graphical user interface for a mobile device
First Claim
1. A mobile device comprising:
- a display;
processing means for presenting on said display a three-dimensional polyhedron as graphical user interface, wherein different pieces of information that are to be presented to a user of said mobile device are associated to different facets of said polyhedron, and wherein visible facets of said polyhedron present at least a hint on a respectively associated piece of information to a user of said mobile device; and
means for enabling a user to cause said processing means to rotate said facets of said presented polyhedron.

Abstract
The invention relates to a mobile device comprising a display. In order to offer a user a more extensive immediate overview over the information available to a specific topic, it is proposed that the mobile device comprises processing means for presenting on the display a three-dimensional polyhedron as graphical user interface. Different pieces of information that are to be presented to a user of the mobile device are associated to different facets of this polyhedron, and the visible facets of the polyhedron present at least a hint on a respectively associated piece of information to a user of the mobile device. It is further proposed that the mobile device comprises means for enabling a user to cause the processing means to rotate the facets of the presented polyhedron. The invention relates equally to a corresponding graphical user interface and to a corresponding method for presenting such a graphical user interface.
