  • MMI designers have tended to use text based MMIs, even though the superiority of graphical user interfaces has long been accepted in the desktop 5 computing environment.
  • the small display size has also meant that several hierarchies of functions have to be offered to a user: the interface can be thought of as having many layers, with the user having to first u locate the correct top level function and then, within that function, progressively drill down (sometimes through 3 or more layers) to complete the required task.

Where the MMI is difficult to follow anyway (as with text based, multilevel conventional GSM telephones, for example) , navigation devices which require a user to take his 0 eyes off the screen can be difficult to use.

Coupling the downwards nudge of the joystick with moving downwards through a line of icons makes navigation easily understood and readily achieved o without any need for the user to takes his eyes off the display.
  • the Phone Book function can be selected by simply nudging the joystick to the right; this takes the user to the Phone Book related features s depicted m Figure 6 - a second level set of functions/features. The user is going deeper into the levels now, so that a nudge to the right is a natural way of expressing this movement.
  • Each of the four top level icons appear to twist around through 180 degrees o when the joystick is nudged to the right.
  • Four icons appear to continue twisting around, but these are now icons of the second level functions related to the Phone Book function. These 4 new icons appear to rotate through 180 degrees to yield the Figure 6 5 display.

Abstract

On utilise une manette placée à proximité d'un afficheur du téléphone mobile afin de naviguer à travers les menus de l'afficheur (par exemple, pour monter et descendre dans le menu et dans les listes de fonction d'un même niveau) et également de sélectionner et/ou déclencher des fonctions. L'utilisateur peut mettre en application la manette, tout en maintenant son regard sur l'écran, ce qui facilite grandement la navigation. De plus, il est uniquement nécessaire de pousser la manette dans le sens souhaité (à droite pour pénétrer davantage dans la structure d'un menu, par exemple depuis le niveau supérieur jusqu'au premier niveau ou pour sélectionner une fonction; à gauche pour monter dans les niveaux; vers le haut afin de monter dans une liste d'options à un niveau donné; vers le bas pour descendre dans une liste d'options à un niveau donné).
