REMOTE CONTROL INTERACTION WITH AN OPERATING SYSTEM THROUGH A DEVICE DISPLAY

摘要

An apparatus partitions a display into a plurality of regions, each region having a plurality of associated selectable icons. The apparatus receives a signal from a remote control for selecting one of the plurality of regions. Additional signals for selecting one or more sub-regions of the selection region may be received by the apparatus. The apparatus presents an emphasized image of the selected region or one or more sub- regions, while presenting a deemphasized image of the unselected regions or sub- regions. The apparatus receives a signal from the remote control for selecting one of the plurality of icons associated with the selected region or one or more sub-regions.
