Abstract: An interface between a mobile device and external services and the user that provides a single location for controlling and seeing the status of the device and the services. The user interface has an tab bar with a tab for each of the registered services. When a service is selected, a status wheel ring is displayed with a number of status field buttons for the user to select a status to be active. A short tap on the status field selects the status field and performs an action. The device is registered with a central server from which the user can subscribe to services. Each service provides a descriptor for generating its status wheel.
