  • Publication number: 20200050345
    Abstract: To provide a user interface capable of efficiently accessing to information presented in the past. An information processing apparatus includes a detection unit, a control unit, and an output unit. The detection unit detects behavior of a user. The control unit determines a current interest object of the user depending on the detected behavior and sequentially generates display information including content corresponding to the determined interest object. The output unit outputs the generated display information. The control unit optimizes a display mode of the display information depending on a change in the determined interest object on a basis of content of an interest object in the past of the user outputted from the output unit and content of the current interest object.

  • Patent number: 8307302
    Abstract: A remote control handset 10 is provided for navigating a user interface of an entertainment device, the user interface having a hierarchical menu structure. The remote control handset 10 has a button 40 on its upper surface 20, and a button 120 on its lower surface 80. The button 40 on its upper surface 20 is used to navigate deeper into the hierarchical menu structure, and the button 120 on its lower surface 80 is used to navigate in the other direction (i.e. higher) in the menu structure. The remote control handset 10 is thus configured to make navigation of a graphical interface having hierarchical menu structure more intuitive, logical, and efficient.
