METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INTERCONNECTED DEVICES

摘要

A computer implemented method comprises, at an electronic device having an input interface and a display, obtaining a status of a characteristic associated with a communication or connection of said electronic device or associated with another electronic device in communication with said electronic device, and generating on the display a visual representation of particles, wherein said particles are representative of said characteristic and wherein one or more attributes of said particles is representative of the status of said characteristic. The electronic device provides a user with an intuitive and rich visual representation of the characteristic and its current status, and the user can interact with the displayed representation of particles via the input interface to change the status of the associated characteristic, and the visual representation of the particles is updated to reflect the change.
