Patent ID: 8174498

Claim:
A method of navigating between different focus points displayed on an electronic device, comprising: for each of said different focus points maintaining a list of any adjacent ones of said focus points to which focus can move in each direction; for each said list having more than one adjacent focus point maintaining a memory setting for resolving focus moves as between said adjacent focus points; responsive to a navigation event, for each said list having only one adjacent focus point moving focus to said one adjacent focus point, and for each said list having more than one adjacent focus point accessing said memory setting and moving focus to a predetermined one of said adjacent focus points in accordance with said memory setting; and displaying said focus points in a home screen configuration according to a predetermined theme arrangement, wherein said predetermined theme arrangement comprises a first plurality of focus points disposed on one side of a further focus point and a second plurality of focus points disposed on another side of said further focus point, wherein navigation in a direction from any one of said first plurality of focus points toward said further focus point results in focus moving to said further focus point and further navigation from said further focus point in said direction toward any one of said second plurality of focus points moves focus to said one of said second plurality of focus points, and navigation in an opposite direction from said one of said second plurality of focus points toward said further focus point results in focus moving to said further focus point and further navigation in said opposite direction toward one of said first plurality of focus points returns focus to said one of said first plurality of focus points.
