Abstract: A push to talk (PTT) user interface for a wireless communications device utilizes a single all contacts database. The database is updated and utilized by the user in either a “PTT contacts” list screen or in an “all contacts” list screen. These screens are used for direct PTT calls, group PTT calls, alert calls, and standard cellular voice calls. Push to talk contacts are defined by the user and are stored on the wireless device. A direct PTT call allows a user to place a PTT call to another party or to a group with more than one party. The user can create a group “ad hoc” PTT call by selecting multiple contacts from the PTT contacts list screen. The PTT contact screen also is utilized to send an “alert” message to an individual with a PTT contact number. The alert message is either a brief text message or simply an “Alert” without text. During a PTT call, the user can view a variety of screens to add another party to the active PTT call and to save or edit participant information.

Abstract: Display surfaces such as catalog items, for example, are displayed in one-dimensional order in a corridor perspective which may be based on one or more points. An input-initiated, processor-controlled dollying effect facilitates visual access, navigation, and browsing to the display surfaces. Within a surface, an input-initiated panning option can be provided, and the scale at which a surface is displayed can be changed. Input may be via a mouse, a light pen, a touch-sensitive screen, a keyboard, a track ball, a touch pad, or voice-activated control.
