STACKABLE PAGINATION INDICATORS

摘要

Instead of displaying interface elements such as pagination indicators side-by-side on a display, a device can present such interface elements in other visible configurations relative to each other. For example, the device can display pagination indicators of different sizes stacked on top of each other. When such stacked pagination indicators are presented as viewed from directly overhead, the pagination indicators can be appear as concentric rings. Alternatively, the device can display such stacked pagination indicators from various different non-overhead angle perspectives. When shown at some of these angles, the stacked pagination indicators can appear as a three-dimensional stack of discs. The device can highlight a particular pagination indicator to distinguish that particular pagination indicator visibly from the other pagination indicators. The highlighted pagination indicator can serve to indicate which of several interface segments, such as pages, is currently being shown on the display.
