Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for navigating in an operating menu of an electronic device with at least one control element and a display unit.
  • values can e.g. B. Simply select manufacturer specifications or make user-specific entries.
  • the operating menu essentially serves to call up and display device-specific information and to change device-specific parameters.
  • operating menus are structured in tasks or subtasks that the user z. B. to be done when starting up the device.
  • the tasks are combined into windows (screens) that are displayed on the display unit.
  • the windows may have to be divided further until the subtask fits into a separate window.
  • the information that is displayed in a window such as the names of parameters and associated values, is more or less appropriately placed on the display unit.
  • the windows differ considerably in their structure, which is very annoying for the user. He has to orientate himself in every new window. Thereby he cannot concentrate on his actual task, retrieving information and changing parameter values.
  • the interaction elements are located at different places on the display unit, which makes navigating within the operating menu considerably more difficult.
  • the entire operating menu with all menu levels can never be displayed, but usually only one level or a very special section of the operating menu.
  • orientation within the known operating menus is not easy for the user. This makes finding certain information d. H. Navigating the operating menu is sometimes very complex.
  • a system for navigating in a hierarchical menu is known from WO03 / 1049977. This system is e.g. B. suitable for laptops, but not for display units with a low resolution.

  • the operating menu is hierarchically divided into several levels and the line items of individual levels of the operating menu are shown indented on the display unit according to their hierarchical order, with the following procedural steps: 1. Selection of a displayed entry with the operating element and confirmation of the selection 2. Open the sublevel belonging to the selected entry and display the corresponding entries. 3. Automatically hide entries of higher levels if there is space for the display of the entries of the selected sublevel. 4. Representation of a directory path to the currently displayed main level.
  • the essential idea of the invention is to present as much information as possible clearly and clearly for the user on the display unit, so that simple navigation through the operating menu becomes possible.
  • entries of superordinate levels are only hidden if this is necessary for the display of the selected sub-level is.
  • the directory path to the currently displayed main level is displayed according to claim 4, but only entries from hidden levels are displayed. As a result, the user is easily and clearly informed about the current main level.
