THREE-DIMENSIONAL, MULTI-DEPTH PRESENTATION OF ICONS IN ASSOCIATION WITH DIFFERING INPUT COMPONENTS OF A USER INTERFACE

摘要

A three-dimensional display presents a plurality of icons (701, 702) that are associated with a user interface of an electronic device (300). The plurality of icons include at least a first icon (701) presented at a first depth of presentation (601) and a second icon (702) presented at a second, different depth of presentation (602). The first icon is associated with a first input component of the user interface, such that the first input component provides for interaction with the first icon. The second icon is associated with a second input component of the user interface, such that the second input component provides for interaction with the second icon. The aforementioned depths of presentation may substantially coincide with various surfaces of the electronic device (such as a first touch - sensitive surface (301) and a second touch - sensitive surface). This approach can serve to facilitate three-dimensional presentation of icons for interaction by touch - sensitive surfaces on the front and back of the electronic device.
