Abstract:
1. An apparatus for presenting information to a user, comprising: an electronic device for operation by the user, the electronic device comprising a processor, a memory, a radio, a speaker, and a touchscreen, wherein the device is to: obtain information for presentation to the user, wherein the information is obtained via a plurality of information sources; determine multiple methods of presenting the information to the user; select at least one of the multiple methods based on status awareness, wherein the status awareness includes situation awareness or context awareness, wherein the situation awareness pertains to conditions external to the electronic device as determined from sensor inputs provided by one or more sensors of the electronic device, wherein the sensor inputs are based on information relating to the external conditions gathered by the one or more sensors; and present the information to the user with the selected method, wherein the information is presented via a matrix that is rotational at its axis to provide maximum access to a cluster of nodes representing a cluster of information points within the matrix, wherein the cluster of nodes corresponds to a plurality of information points populated by the plurality of information sources, wherein the plurality of information points includes areas of interests as labeled categories, wherein the matrix includes a matrix of choices where one axis of the matrix represents areas of interest corresponding to software applications as represented by another axis of the matrix such that a combination of an area of interest and a corresponding software application is chosen by the user and retrieved by the electronic device along with retrieval of data associated with the combination, wherein the matrix includes one or more matrixes corresponding to one or more modes associated with the user or the device, wherein the one or more modes include at least one of work mode, family mode, and play mode, wherein the selection is based on effect of the selected method of presentation on other people, and wherein the selection includes not selecting presentation by audio through a speaker if ambient noise is higher than a reference noise, and selecting presentation by audio through a headset if ambient noise is smaller than a reference value, and wherein each node in the cluster of nodes is selected manually by user or automatically based on the status awareness, wherein one or more nodes of the cluster of nodes are displayed as the matrix is vertically or horizontally rotated at its axis, wherein the matrix comprises one or more multi-dimensional shapes with each shape displaying one or more nodes representing one or more information points associated with one or more information sources of the plurality of information sources, wherein the matrix includes a cube or a polyhedron.
