Abstract: RingGuide is an organizational and social media methodology and system that enables new forms of distributed interfaces on any 2D or 3D class electronic device. The RingGuide comprises a hierarchy of Rings displaying on one or more of these devices. The Rings may contain Asset Cells representing a database record available in associated local or remote databases (a movie, video or graphical advertisement, TV show, metadata, etc.); Code Cells capable of executing specific functionality, such as search, “show by time”, a widget that displays realtime weather information or a separately launchable application such as an instant messaging client; Element Cells showing locally or remotely update-able user interface elements, and Link Cells that refer to sub-Rings that may be organized by genre, media owner brands, etc.
