Abstract:
An orientation input system uses the change between portrait and landscape mode and vice versa as a powerful input control for navigation on a personal electronic device. Portrait mode provides a tall screen that is good for diving in depth into a content item. Landscape mode provides a wide screen that is good for comparing multiple content items side by side and selecting another item. The system uses the device's orientation not simply to resize content, but as an input to switch the user meaningfully between these two activities. This reduces the user's input and makes operation of the small device easier. Thus, the system provides a new way for a user to provide input and navigate content on a portable electronic device that is convenient for the user and helps the user achieve the user's goals for using the device more efficiently.

Claim (Index 15):
A computer system for navigating content by changing screen orientation, the system comprising:\n a processor and memory configured to execute software instructions embodied within the following components; a context management component that manages a current context that indicates a core focus of what the user is currently doing; a portrait mode manager that manages display of information in a portrait mode of a portable electronic device, where the portrait mode is an orientation of the device so that the device's screen is taller than it is wide; a landscape mode manager that manages display of information in a landscape mode of the portable electronic device, where the landscape mode is an orientation of the device so that the device's screen is wider than it is tall; an orientation transition component that manages a changing display of content upon detecting that the user has changed the orientation of the portable electronic device from the portrait mode to the landscape mode or from the landscape mode to the portrait mode, so that different content is displayed in each mode in a manner that allows the user to navigate content by using orientation as an input user interface control; and a primary key filtering component  150  that operates in landscape mode to divide content for display according to a first search criteria.
