`PREVIEWING A NEW EVENT ON A SMALL SCREEN DEVICE
`
`Cross-reference to Related Application

`[0001]
`
`This
`
`application
`
`claims
`
`the benefit of U.S.
`
`Provisional Patent Application No. 60/525,959 filed December
`
`01, 2003.
`
`Field of the Invention
`
`(0002)
`
`The present invention relates generally to wireless
`
`10
`
`communication devices, and more particularly to a graphical
`
`user interface for controlling such devices.
`
`Description of the Related Art
`
`(0003]
`
`With the proliferation of communications services
`
`available on· wireless mobile devices, it becomes increasingly
`
`15
`
`complex to create a single device that can excel at many
`
`different functions.
`
`Many critics claim that a wireless
`
`telephone device can never make a good handheld personal
`
`digital assistant (PDA) device and a handheld PDA device will
`
`never make a good wireless telephone. It is also said that
`
`20
`
`only teenagers are using Instant Messaging
`
`( IM) services or
`
`Short Message Services
`
`(SMS)
`
`to exchange messages with
`
`friends and acquaintances and that such users should get an
`
`entirely different wireless mobile device. However, many
`
`users of wireless handheld devices desire to have multiple
`
`25
`
`services and functionality on a single device.
`
`(0004]
`
`Representing multiple services and functions to a
`
`user on a single wireless mobile device presents a number of
`
`-1-
`
`Facebook's Exhibit No. 1013
`0005
`
`

`

`challenges to the designer of a user interface, particularly
`
`a graphical user interface (GUI), for controlling the device.
`
`Wireless devices are usually small relative to less portable
`
`computing devices such as
`
`laptops and desktop computers.
`
`5
`
`Inherently then, a visual display such as an LCD or other
`
`screen component of the wireless mobile device has a small
`
`display area.
`
`for wireless mobile
`GUis
`[0005)
`comprise a main or home screen and one or more sub-screens
`
`Typically,
`
`devices
`
`10
`
`that may be navigated
`
`from
`
`the main screen. Notification
`
`icons are often rendered on a portion of the main screen to
`
`indicate a new event such as the receipt of a new IM message,
`
`electronic mail
`
`(e-mail) or other service event such as a
`
`calendar reminder or alarm and other status information such
`
`15
`
`as time, date and battery life. For each type of service or
`
`function available via the device, a graphical image or icon
`
`is often rendered on a major portion of the main screen,
`
`which icon may be selected using a cursor or other means to
`
`launch a specific GUI for the selected service or function.
`
`20
`
`[0006]
`
`A user may subscribe to multiple similar services
`
`and have
`
`these services available via a
`
`single wireless
`
`mobile device. For example, a user may subscribe to more than
`
`one
`
`Instant Message-type service,
`
`such as AOL™
`
`Instant
`
`Messenger
`
`(AIM™),
`
`ICQ™, Microsoft Network™
`
`(MSN™), Yahoo!™
`
`25 Messenger and Quick Messaging™. Alternatively or as well, a
`
`user may have a corporate and personal e-mail account coupled
`
`to the wireless mobile device. When a user is notified of a
`
`new event such as a new IM message, the user is required to
`
`check each of their IM service applications separately, via
`
`-2-
`
`Facebook's Exhibit No. 1013
`0006
`
`

`

`their respective activation
`
`icons,
`
`to determine which
`
`IM
`
`service
`
`is responsible for
`
`the new event. Checking each
`
`service is inconvenient. Moreover, there is a demand to have
`
`information made available to a user quicker than previously
`
`5
`
`available in order to optimize the control of the wireless
`
`device.
`~oon
`and
`
`Accordingly, there is a resulting need for a method
`apparatus
`that
`addresses
`one or more of
`these
`
`shortcomings.
`
`10
`

`
`FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a communication system
`
`100 which includes a mobile station 102 which communicates
`through a wireless communication network 104 symbolized by a
`
`15
`
`station. Mobile station 102 preferably includes a visual
`
`display 112,
`
`a
`
`keyboard 114,
`
`and perhaps one or more
`
`auxiliary user interfaces (UI) 116, each of which are coupled
`
`to a controller 106. Controller 106 is also coupled to radio
`
`20
`
`frequency (RF) transceiver circuitry 108 and an antenna 110.
`
`(0027]
`
`Typically, controller 106 is embodied as a central
`
`processing unit (CPU) which runs operating system software in
`
`a memory component (not shown). Controller 106 will normally
`
`control overall operation of mobile station 102, whereas
`
`25
`
`signal processing operations associated with communication
`
`functions are typically performed in RF transceiver circuitry
`108. Controller 106 interfaces with device display 112 to
`display
`received
`information,
`
`user
`inputs, and the like. Keyboard 114, which may be a telephone
`
`stored
`
`information,
`
`-7-
`
`Facebook's Exhibit No. 1013
`0011
`
`

`

`type keypad or
`
`full alphanumeric keyboard,
`
`is normally
`
`provided for entering data for storage in mobile station 102,
`information for
`transmission
`to network 104,
`a
`telephone
`number to place a telephone call, commands to be executed on
`5 mobile station 102, and possibly other or different user
`
`inputs.
`
`10
`
`15
`
`Mobile station 102 sends communication signals to
`[0028]
`and receives communication signals from the wireless network
`104 over a wireless link via antenna 110.
`RF
`transceiver
`circuitry 108 performs functions similar to those of a base
`station and a base station controller
`(BSC)
`(not shown),
`including for example modulation/demodulation and possibly
`encoding/decoding and encryption/decryption.
`It is also
`contemplated that RF
`transceiver circuitry 108 may perform
`certain functions in addition to those performed by a BSC.
`It will be apparent
`to
`those skilled
`in art
`that RF
`transceiver circuitry 108 will be adapted
`to particular
`wireless network or networks in which mobile station 102 is
`intended to operate.
`
`20
`
`[0029]
`
`includes a battery interface
`Mobile station 102
`(IF) 134 for receiving one or more rechargeable batteries
`132. Battery 132 provides electrical power
`to electrical
`circuitry in mobile station 102, and battery IF 132 provides
`for a mechanical and electrical connection for battery 132.
`25 Battery IF 132 is coupled to a regulator 136 which regulates
`power
`to
`the device.
`When mobile station 102
`is fully
`operational, an RF
`transmitter of RF
`transceiver circuitry
`108 is turned on only when it is sending to network, and is
`otherwise
`turned off or placed
`in a
`low-power mode
`to
`
`-8-
`
`Facebook's Exhibit No. 1013
`0012
`
`

`

`conserve power. Similarly, an RF receiver of RF transceiver
`circuitry 108
`is
`typically periodically
`turned off
`to
`conserve power until it is needed to receive signals or
`information (if at all) during designated time periods.
`
`5
`
`[0030]
`Identity Module
`
`Mobile station 102 operates using a Subscriber
`
`(SIM) 140 which is connected to or inserted
`SIM 140
`
`in mobile station 102 at a SIM interface (IF) 142.
`is one type of a conventional "smart card" used to identify
`
`an end user
`
`(or subscriber) of mobile station 102 and to
`
`10 personalize the device, among other things. Without SIM 140,
`
`the mobile station
`
`terminal is not fully operational for
`
`communication through the wireless network. By inserting SIM
`140 into mobile station 102, an end user can have access to
`SIM 140
`
`any and all of his/her subscribed services.
`
`15 generally
`
`includes
`
`a processor and memory
`
`for
`
`storing
`
`information. Since SIM 140 is coupled to SIM IF 142, it is
`coupled to controller 106 through communication lines 14 4.
`
`In order to identify the subscriber, SIM 140 contains some
`user parameters such as an International Mobile Subscriber
`Identity (IMSI). An advantage of using SIM 140 is that end
`
`20
`
`users are not necessarily bound by any single physical mobile
`station.
`
`SIM 140 may store additional user information for
`the mobile station as well, including datebook (or calendar)
`
`information and recent call information.
`
`25
`
`[0031]
`
`Mobile station 102 may consist of a single unit,
`
`such as a data communication device,
`
`a multiple-function
`
`communication device with data
`
`and voice
`
`communication
`
`capabilities, a personal digital assistant (PDA) enabled for
`wireless
`communication, or
`
`a
`
`computer
`
`incorporating
`
`an
`
`-9-
`
`Facebook's Exhibit No. 1013
`0013
`
`

`

`internal modem. Alternatively, mobile station 102 may be a
`
`a plurality of separate
`multiple-module unit comprising
`components, including but in no way limited to a computer or
`other device connected to a wireless modem.
`In particular,
`for example, in the mobile station block diagram of FIG. 1,
`RF
`transceiver circuitry 108
`and
`antenna
`110 may be
`
`implemented as a radio modem unit that may be inserted into a
`port on a laptop computer.
`In this case, the laptop computer
`would
`include display 112,
`keyboard 114,
`one or more
`auxiliary Uis 116,
`and controller 106
`embodied as
`the
`computer's CPU.
`It is also contemplated that a computer or
`other
`equipment
`not
`normally
`capable
`of wireless
`communication may be adapted to connect to and effectively
`assume control of RF transceiver circuitry 108 and antenna
`110 of a single-unit device such as one of those described
`above.
`Such a mobile station 102 may have a more particular
`implementation as described
`later
`in relation
`to mobile
`station 202 of FIG. 2.
`

`
`10
`
`15
`
`(0032]
`
`FIG. 2 is a detailed block diagram of a preferred
`20 mobile station 202. Mobile station 202 is preferably a two(cid:173)
`way communication device having at least voice and advanced
`data communication capabilities, including the capability to
`communicate with other computer systems.
`Depending on the
`functionality provided by mobile station 202,
`it may be
`referred to as a data messaging device, a
`two-way pager, a
`cellular
`telephone with data messaging capabilities,
`a
`wireless Internet appliance, or a data communication device
`(with or without telephony capabilities). Mobile station 202
`
