<p>Computer display icons include are associated with sequencing designations, and are positioned on a display in a visually recognizable order corresponding to the respective sequencing designations. Sequencing designations can be numeric, alphabetic, or have some other recognizable order. Icons sequenced in this manner can be used to trigger a software application, or operation of a function of a peripheral device. A remote control handset can include a microphone, and can be used as the handset of a telephone or e-phone. The microphone is preferably used in conjunction with software to recognize voice commands, and especially voice intonations of the sequencing designations associated with the icons. A security device reader can be used to limit access to icons, contents of local or distal storage, web sites, and so forth. A preferred embodiment provides an interface layer for applications software that standardizes and simplifies access to functionality using sequenced icons.</p> |
