Abstract: A method for processing status information on determined functions in a wireless terminal device. Reference information on the appearance of an element of a display, such as a selection or a background element, and the status of status information is determined. The status of the status information, such as availability, on pointable targets is determined. When a target is pointed by a selection element, the appearance of the element of the display is selected in a predetermined manner in accordance with the status of the status information. The method can be implemented by a wireless terminal device or by a software product arrangeable in a terminal device.

Abstract: A computing device having a graphical interface system for navigating computer programs is provided. The system includes a navigation display showing an organizational model of a computer program that is formed by concentric rings representing levels of options within the computer program. At least one of the rings is an active ring, which is emphasized to show selectable options. The options represent either categories of other options or features of the computer program. The options may be represented by icons or words. A method for navigating a computer program using the organizational model includes using a graphical user interface to select options on an active ring. Selecting a category option activates an inner ring that displays options related to the previously selected option on the next higher ring. The user continues navigating through inner rings until a feature option is selected, which invokes a feature of the computer program.
