Appeal No. 1996-4148
Application No. 08/327,085
The invention relates to apparatus and methods for
manipulating multiple windows or icons on a computer graphical
interface (figure 2, numeral 130). Images (figure 2, numerals
245, 246) representative of a function to be performed on a
system, are each presented on a separate page (specification,
page 3, lines 23-26; figure 2, numeral 210). These pages are
arranged within the interior of a carrousel (specification,
page 3, lines 14-15; figure 2, numeral 150) rendered on the
graphical interface, with one edge of each page attached to
the axis (numeral 230) of the carrousel (numeral 150) and the
page extending radially outward from the axis. Only the
images of a subset of the pages (numeral 210) in the carrousel
(numeral 150) are fully exposed for viewing within the
carrousel at any given time. The pages are rotated around the
axis (numeral 230) within the carrousel icon to change the
subset of pages containing the viewable images.
The method relates to arranging images of selectable
items (figure 2, numerals 245, 246, 250) on a display screen
and selecting the images for operation of the represented
items. Each item is represented as a separate representative
