image on a page (numeral 210) and the pages are arranged into
a three dimensional icon (numeral 150) with one edge of the
pages attached to a common axis (numeral 230) in the middle of
the icon (numeral 150). The pages are rotated about the axis
within the
icon to change the subset of pages containing the viewable
images. An item for operation on the system is chosen by
selecting an image representing that item from the viewable
subset of pages.
Independent claims 1 and 18, which are the sole
independent claims rejected, are reproduced as follows:
1. An apparatus for shoing a plurality of video displays
comprising:
a. a graphical interface capable of rendering a three
dimensional perspective of an object;
b. a plurality of video displays set in a carrousel
rendered on said graphical interface, each display presented
on a page within the carrousel, each page having a page
boundary, and the boundary of the page having an axial edge
facing the center of the carrousel with the page extending
radially outward from the axial edge; and
c. an axis at the center of the carrousel to which the
axial edge of each page is attached so that the video display
on a subset of one or more of the pages are fully visible for
viewing within the carrousel on the interface while the
remainder of the video displays are not.
