`
`BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`example, internal services can include calendaringfacilities,
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`instant messaging, and other services that the carrier net-
`
`
`
`
`
`
`work 104 provider is capable of providing to subscribers. To
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`provide additional data services, the carrier network 104 can
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`partner with third party providers of external services 108.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Each external service 108 actually runs the service, and the
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`carrier network 104 facilitates usage of the service to its
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`subscribers by provisioning the service throughout the car-
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`rier network 104. In this manner, subscribers can interact
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`with the external services 108 using their mobile devices
`
`
`
`
`
`102, such as their cellular telephones.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`[0009] Often Carrier Networks 104 are proficient at pro-
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`viding particular classes of data services, such as scheduling
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`and instant messaging. For other services, the carrier net-
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`work 104relies on the external service providers 108. These
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`external service providers 108 generally provide services to
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`the carrier network 104, which can charge subscribers more
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`for the services. The carrier network provider 104 is then
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`charged,in turn, by the external service providers 108. These
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`external services then appear as part of the carrier network
`services to the subscriber.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`[0010] Unfortunately, full utilization of data services has
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`not occurred, most notably because of the difficulty many
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`users experience in using data services on a mobile device
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`and a lack of data service managementcapabilities of carrier
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`networks. For example, many high-end cellular phones
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`include an Internet browser. However, the startup time for
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`the browseroften is long. In addition, from the point of view
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`of the user,
`the user is required to do a very technical
`
`
`
`
`
`
`operation in starting up the browser, going to a bookmark or
`
`
`
`
`
`
`remembering a URL,and typing all the required information
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`into the phone. If the user is lucky, a text messaging service
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`may be available through their carrier network. However, to
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`use such a service, the user generally is required to close
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`down the browser, navigate the various menus to find the
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`messaging icon, and select the icon to begin the text mes-
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`saging service. In addition, multiple external services often
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`are difficult for a carrier network service. That is, carrier
`
`
`
`
`
`
`networks often experience difficulties in managing the vari-
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`ous service relationships between services provided by the
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`external service providers. So aggregating the services that
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`user will ultimately see on their mobile deviceis difficult for
`
`
`
`carrier networks to manage.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`{0011] Thus, a major inhibitor to data service utilizationis
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`the lack of a seamless, intuitive, easy user experience with
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`data service usage on the mobile device. That is, a user is
`
`
`
`
`
`
`required to have a relatively in depth technical knowledge of
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`the phone and carrier capabilities to utilize the data services.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`For example, to utilize an external book purchasing service,
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`the user is required to know that they must startup the
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Internet browser, select the appropriate URL, and navigate
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`to the appropriate purchase section of the related website.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`[0012]
`In view of the foregoing,
`there is a need for
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`techniques that provide an improveduser interface with and
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`access to data services on mobile devices. The improved
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`user interface should be intuitive and user friendly.
`
`SUMMARYOF THE INVENTION
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`[0013] Broadly speaking, the present invention fills these
`
`
`
`
`
`
`needs by providing an improved user interface for a mobile
`
`
`
`
`
`
`computing device. It should be appreciated that the present
`
`
`
`
`
`invention can be implemented in numerous ways, including

`
`
`
`
`
`
`1. Field of the Invention
`
`
`
`
`
`
`[0003] This invention relates generally to mobile devices,
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`and more particularly to software and systems for user
`interfaces on mobile devices.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`2. Description of the Related Art
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`[0005] Although, cellular telephone systems have tradi-
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`tionally been utilized to provide voice data communication,
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`additional data services, such as Internet access and sched-
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`uling, are being made increasingly available to mobile
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`device subscribers. For example, FIG.1 is a block diagram
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`of an exemplary cellular telephone system 100. The cellular
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`telephone system 100 includes a mobile device 102, such as
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`a cellular phone, which is in communication with a carrier
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`network 104. The carrier network 104 supplies the network
`and other elements to enable the mobile device 102 to
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`interact with the internal services 106 and external services
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`108 available via the carrier system 104.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`[0006] For example, the carrier network 104 typically can
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`include a numberof fixed base station transceivers, which
`mobile devices 102 communicate with via radio channels.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`However, the number of radio channels that the operator is
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`permitted to use is limited, and there generally is not enough
`for each mobile device 102 in the network to be carried on
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`a different channel. Thus, the carrier network 104 reuses
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`channels, that is, at any time many base stations may be
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`receiving and transmitting on each channel. The coverage
`area of each radio base station is often referred to as a
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`“cell. ss;
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`[0007] As mentioned above, in addition to voice services,
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`data services are being made increasingly available to
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`mobile device subscribers. Thus, in addition to voice data
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`services, such as voice mail,
`telephone call back, and
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`three-way calling, carrier networks 104 are beginning to
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`provide additional electronic data to users in various ways.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Exemplary data services can include calendaring facilities,
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`book buying services, Internet browsing, and text messag-
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`ing. As mobile devices 102 become more sophisticated, the
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`mobile devices 102 can execute software applications,
`which can be front ends for data services.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`

`
`become apparent from the following detailed description,
`

`
`
`
`
`
`present invention are described below.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`[0014] On embodimentincludes a method of navigating a
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`mobile device display that includes highlighting a first icon
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`in a main portion of the mobile device display. The main
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`portion is traversed to a tertiary tray. The tertiary tray
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`includes a second icon. The second icon is highlighted. A
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`single navigation key is used to traverse the main portion
`
`
`
`
`
`and to highlight the second icon.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`[0015]
`Thetertiary tray can be adjacent to a vertical edge
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`of the mobile device display. The tertiary tray includes at
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`least one scroll button and wherein selecting the scroll
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`button causesa third icon to be displayedin thetertiary tray.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`[0016] Selecting the scroll button can include shifting the
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`second icon. Shifting the second icon can include not
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`displaying the second icon in the tertiary tray.

`
`
`
`
`
`

`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`opening the tertiary tray by highlighting the tertiary tab.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`[0018] Openinga tertiary tray can include covering at least
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`part of the main portion of the mobile device display.
