  • Publication number: 20080079690
    Abstract: The invention relates to a portable device (1) having wireless capability and a basic user interface (2) that may be enhanced by objects temporarily downloaded or streaming to the device. Effects of the temporary objects may be added on the basic user interface. The portable device is connectable to a server (10) or any type of external memory/processor source. The portable device is arranged to establish a connection with the external memory/processor source, and to stream down user interface effects, and/or code to control user interface effects from the external memory/processor source so that the effects may be used with the basic user interface. The present invention also relates to a corresponding server.

  • Publication number: 20080016465
    Abstract: A portable electronic device and a method for accessing information in the electronic device, which includes a display and a graphical user interface for presentation of information on the display. The electronic device comprises a set of information items presentable in an item list on the display, such as a menu list, which set includes a first subset and a second subset. A user input interface is operable to select list items for activation, and a control unit is configured to present only the first subset responsive to a command on the user input interface to present the item list. The list is typically a vertical list which is longer than the display, and the first subset is a number of most important items within the list. Moving a highlight beyond an endpoint item of the first subset may trigger the control unit to unfold the full list.
