Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to item selection systems and display techniques, and in particular, to such techniques in which a first menu is positioned in a first menu space, a second menu is positioned in a second menu space, a cursor is used to select a particular item from the first menu, and the second menu then replaces the first menu.
  • Item selection systems are often used in hotel video on-demand systems to provide a hotel guest with an user-friendly interface for selecting movies and other audio-visual products.
  • a first menu is displayed on a television screen.
  • the first menu has a first plurality of items from which a user of the system selects. For example, a first item of the first menu may correspond to "movies," and a second item of the first menu may correspond to "games.”
  • a second menu replaces the first menu.
  • the second menu has a second plurality of items from which the user selects. For example, a first item of the second item may correspond to "action movies,” and a second item of the second menu may correspond to "comedy movies.”
  • a third menu replaces the second menu.
  • the third menu has a third plurality of items, and each of the third plurality of items corresponds to a movie which is available for the user to view.
  • the user selects the item corresponding to a particular movie, the user is prompted to confirm their purchase. After the user confirms their purchase, the user can watch the particular movie on the television.
  • the user prior to selecting a particular item in a particular menu, the user is not able to determine the further items which will be available to the user after the user selects the particular item. For example, prior to selecting the item corresponding to "action movies," the user does not know which action movies will be available to the user. As such, the user does not know the consequence of selecting the particular item, and the user relies on the descriptiveness of the title associated with the particular item to predict the consequence of selecting the particular item. Moreover, when the selection system is used in a hotel, a motel, or the like, the user likely is not familiar with the selection system, which increases the difficulty of using such known systems. Therefore, a need has arisen for an item selection system and a method of displaying the same which overcome these and other shortcomings of the related art.
  • An object of the present invention is to allow the user of the item selection system to understand the consequences of selecting the particular item before the user selects the particular item.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide an item selection system for use in a hotel video on-demand system which provides a hotel guest with an user-friendly interface for selecting movies and other audio-visual products.
  • the present invention provides an item selection system in which a first menu is positioned in a first menu space, a second menu is positioned in a second menu space, and when a cursor selects a particular item from the first menu, the second menu replaces the first menu.
  • the second menu has items which are associated with the particular item.
  • the user of the system can view both the first menu and the second menu before selecting the particular item, the user can view those items which will be available to the user after the user selects the particular item.
  • an item selection system includes a first menu projected in a first menu space of a viewing surface.
  • the first menu has at least one first item, and a cursor adapted for movement among the at least one first item and for selecting a particular item from the at least one first item.
  • the item selection system also has a second menu projected in a second menu space of the viewing surface, such that the first menu and the second menu are simultaneously projected in the viewing surface.
  • the second menu space is positioned adjacent to the first menu space.
  • the second menu has at least one second item associated with the particular item, such that when the cursor selects the particular item, at least one portion of the second menu replaces the first menu.
  • the at least one first and second items are a first plurality of items and a second plurality of items, respectively, and when the cursor selects the particular item, a third menu replaces the second menu.
  • the third menu has a third plurality of items, and the third plurality of items are associated with one of the second plurality of items.
  • a method for displaying an item selection system includes projecting a first menu in a first menu space of a viewing surface.
  • the first menu has a first plurality of items, and a cursor adapted for moving among the first plurality of items and for selecting a particular item from the first plurality of items.

When the user activates selection system 100, in step 210, item selection system 100 projects first menu 140 in first menu space 130. In an embodiment, in step 210, item selection system 100 also projects second menu 145 in second menu space 135. In step 215, item selection system 100 determines whether the user selected button 180 or one of buttons 185a- 185d.
  • step 220 item selection system 100 determines whether the selected button is button 180 or button 185c. If the selected button is button 180 or button 185c, then in step 225, item selection system 100 replaces first menu 140 with second menu 145 in first menu space 130.
  • step 230 item selection system 100 determines whether the selected button is button 185b. If the selected button is button 185b, then in step 235, item selection system 100 moves cursor 190 down one item in first menu 140 (if possible), and changes second menu 145 based on the new "focus item" in first menu 140. Operation 200 then returns to step 215. Nevertheless, if the selected button is not button 185b, then in step 240, item selection system 100 determines whether the selected button is button 185a.
  • step 245 item selection system 100 moves cursor 190 up one item in first menu 140 (if possible), and changes second menu 145 based on the new "focus item” in first menu 140. Operation 200 then returns to step 215. However, if the selected button is not button 185a, then operation 200 returns to step 215. Specifically, item selection system 100 recognizes that the selected button is button 185d, and because first menu 140 already is in first menu space 130, selecting button 185d does not affect the display of item selection system 100.
  • step 250 item selection system 100 determines whether there is a third menu 195 associated with the current "focus item” in second menu 145. If there is a third menu 195 associated with the current "focus item” in second menu 145, then in step 255, third menu 195 replaces second menu 145 in second menu space 140. It will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that item selection system 100 may perform steps 225, 250, and 255 substantially simultaneously, such that third menu 195 replaces second menu 145 in second menu space 135 at substantially the same time that second menu 145 replaces first menu 140 in first menu space 130.
  • step 250 item selection system 100 determines that there is no third menu 195 associated with the current "focus item" in second menu 145, then in step 260, item selection system 100 removes second menu 145 from second menu space 135, such that second menu space 135 is empty or includes graphic 150.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un système (100) de sélection d'articles comprenant un premier menu (140) projeté dans un premier espace de menu (130) d'une surface (100a) de visualisation. Ce premier menu (140) comprend une première pluralité d'articles (105-125) ainsi qu'un curseur (190) conçu pour se déplacer dans cette première pluralité d'articles (105-125) et pour sélectionner un article particulier (110) de cette première pluralité d'articles (105-125). Le système de sélection (100) comprend également un second menu (145) projeté dans un second espace de menu (135) de la surface de visualisation, de telle manière que le premier menu (140) et le second menu (145) sont affichés simultanément dans la surface de visualisation (100a). De manière plus spécifique, le second espace de menu (135) est adjacent au premier espace de menu (130). En outre, le second menu (145) contient une seconde pluralité d'articles (110a-110f) associé à l'article particulier (110) sélectionné, de telle sorte que lorsque cet article particulier (110) est sélectionné par le curseur (190) le second menu (145) remplace le premier menu (140) dans le premier espace menu (130). Dans un mode de réalisatio, la sélection d'un article particulier (110) par le curseur (190) entraîne le remplacement du second menu (145) dans le second espace de menu (135) par un troisième menu. Ce troisième menu comprend une troisième pluralité d'articles et cette troisième pluralité d'articles est associée à un article de la seconde pluralité d'articles (110a-110f).
