Navigation of a Graphical User Interface Using Multi-Dimensional Menus and Modes
First Claim
1. A method for navigating a graphical user interface, displayed on a touchscreen display of an electronic user device, using multi-dimensional menus and modes, the method comprising the acts of:
- arranging a plurality of operating modes along at least a two dimensional plane of the graphical user interface, wherein the plurality of operating modes comprises at least a media play mode and a media capture mode;
displaying, on the touchscreen display of the electronic user device, a currently-active view of a first one of the plurality of operating modes;
receiving a user input, to the touchscreen display of the electronic user device, to change the currently-active view from the first one of the plurality of operating modes to a second one of the plurality of operating modes;
navigating, in response to the user input, in a desired direction of the at least two dimensional plane of the graphical user interface, corresponding to the second one of the plurality of operating modes; and
displaying, as the currently-active view on the touchscreen display of the electronic user device following said navigating, a graphical representation of the second one of the plurality of operating modes.

Abstract
A graphical user interface for display on a touchscreen display of an electronic user device includes operating modes arranged along at least a two dimensional plane of the graphical user interface, where the operating modes include at least a media play mode and a media capture mode. The graphical user interface also includes a currently-active view of a first operating mode displayed on the touchscreen display, where the currently-active view is changeable from the first operating mode to a second operating mode in response to a user input. Additionally, the graphical user interface includes a graphical representation of the second operating mode which is displayed on the touchscreen display as the currently-active view following the user input, where the user input corresponds to an instruction to navigate in a direction of the at least two dimensional plane of the graphical user interface which corresponds to the second operating mode.
