Patent ID: 8286098

Claim:
A method for displaying executable functions on a touch screen display, the method comprising: displaying at least one three-dimensional polyhedral icon on the touch screen display, the at least one polyhedral icon being rotatable and comprising at least two faces, wherein at least one of the at least two faces is assigned an executable function; identifying at least one operation performed on the touch screen display, the at least one operation corresponding to one of the at least one displayed polyhedral icon; executing an action corresponding to the one of the at least one displayed polyhedral icon based on the identified at least one operation; redisplaying an initially displayed face of the at least two faces of the one of the at least one displayed polyhedral icon upon completion of the at least one operation by rotating the one of the at least one displayed polyhedral icon; receiving an input of double touches on a selected polyhedral icon of the at least one displayed polyhedral icon, the double touches including a touch to a first vertex of the selected polyhedral icon and a touch to a second vertex of the selected polyhedral icon; detecting a dragging of the double touches away from each other to increase a distance between the double touches; enlarging a displayed size of the selected polyhedral icon to a size less than an overall size of a display area of the touch screen display in response to the detection when the distance of the dragging is less than a critical distance; and enlarging the displayed size of the selected polyhedral icon to a size corresponding to the overall size of the display area of the touch screen display in response to the detection when the distance of the dragging is more than the critical distance.
