  • Patent number: 7403977
    Abstract: A mobile phone and related method for providing hinting capabilities in the mobile telephone is presented which makes a user aware of one or more next possible sub-operational functionalities available for user selection in a selected operational functionality. Control and alphanumeric keys associated with the available functionalities are identified to hint at next possible sub-functionalities available for selection wherein the keys are identified by lighting or shown as icon representations on the display of the mobile phone or tones to suggest to the user that operation of the key is related to the given operational context and sequence progression step in the selected desired operational functionality.

  • Patent number: 6956591
    Abstract: Textual content arranged in lines and displayed on the screen of electronic device is browsed by a signal processor in response to a down direction selection signal from a down button on a keypad and any links displayed in the lines in a top half of the screen are highlighted link-by-link toward a central area of the screen, wherein after the highlighting progresses to a central area of the screen, in response to further assertions of the down button, scrolling of the textual content commences, line-by-line.

  • Publication number: 20050216846
    Abstract: A method and mobile terminal are disclosed for use in a wireless communication system for rendering content on a small display screen. Upon accessing the content a first time, the content is displayed in a first rendering mode. Then the content is provided by the display screen according to a second, user-preferred rendering mode. Subsequently, the content or a revised version thereof is accessed again, and is provided by the display screen to the user in the second, user-preferred rendering mode, without having to access or display the content in the first rendering mode.

  • Publication number: 20040250220
    Abstract: A system, apparatus, and method for navigation between sub-frames of a hypertext document and hyperlinks contained within the sub-frames are provided for mobile devices without pointing capability. A first mode of screen navigation renders the hypertext document into sub-frames, where each sub-frame is accessed using navigation commands. A second mode of screen navigation uses normal rendering mode, whereby a scrolling window is used to display the active portion of the hypertext document. Whether the first or the second mode of screen navigation is used, a hyperlink navigation mode may be initiated once the frame of interest is located. Similar navigational inputs are then used to navigate between the hyperlinks contained within the frame of interest.
