Newness and distinctiveness is claimed in the features of ornamentation as shown inside the broken line circle in the accompanying representation.

Display screen or portion thereof with graphical user interface

A portable electronic device displays a plurality of icons (e.g., graphical objects) in a region in a touch-sensitive display; detects a predefined user action, with respect to the touch-sensitive display, for initiating a predefined user interface reconfiguration process; and varies positions of one or more icons in the plurality of icons in response to detecting the predefined user action. The varying includes varying the positions of the one or more icons about respective average positions.

An input device is disclosed. The input device includes a movable touch pad capable of detecting an object in close proximity thereto so as to generate a first control signal. The input device also includes a movement indicator capable of detecting the movements of the movable touch pad so as to generate one or more distinct second control signals. The control signals being used to perform actions in an electronic device operatively coupled to the input device.

A preferred contact group centric interface for a communication device can be used to facilitate communications by a user. The user interface can be arranged to activate from a user's “home page” on the display, from an idle screen that is accessed after a timeout period expires, or any other appropriate mechanism that activates the preferred contact group centric experience. A user selects the preferred contact group from among an array of the user's contacts. Once the contact group is configured, a minimal number of navigation/selection features is necessary to activate any number of communication modes available to the contacts. The contact group is configured such that simple and quick navigation between the contact members is achieved. The contact group can be presented in 2D and 3D arrangements, in any number of list or geometric configurations. A pricing plan can optionally be tied to each member of the contact group.

Preferred contact group centric interface

A multifunction device displays a plurality of selectable user interface objects on the display. In response to detecting the first input, the device moves a first object in the plurality of selectable user interface objects across the display to a location on the display that is proximate to a second object in the plurality of selectable user interface objects. In response to detecting that the first input meets predefined folder-creation criteria while the first object is proximate to the second object, the device creates a folder that contains the first object and the second object.

A display method includes displaying a plurality of icons in list form on a display device by a list-form displaying section, enlarging, to a predetermined size, an icon selected from the icons displayed, when a different icon is selected, reducing the icon selected and enlarged to the predetermined size so as to have a size substantially equal to the size of each of icons which are not selected, and performing control so that, when the different icon is selected while the icon selected is being enlarged, the selected icon is temporarily enlarged to the predetermined size, and immediately after the enlargement, the temporarily enlarged icon is reduced so as to have a size substantially equal to the size of each of icons which are not selected.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To increase the operability of equipment by easily identifying menus being selected. SOLUTION: When the moving operation of a cursor from a high rank menu to a low rank menu is detected, a control part moves the overall high rank menus to an anti-low rank menu display side for display, and moves the low rank menus to a margin region formed by moving the high rank menu. Also, when the moving operation of the cursor from the low rank menu to the high rank menu is detected, the overall low rank menus are moved to an anti-high rank menu display side for display, and the high rank menu is moved to a margin region formed by moving the low rank menu for display. That is, the high rank menu and the low rank menu are simultaneously displayed in a display region, and a margin region is formed by moving the overall non-selected overall menus, and the selected overall menus are displayed by using the margin region.
