Abstract

A method and apparatus for generating a sphere-like mobile user interface is described including receiving search terms and search results, generating a sphere and blobs of the sphere and expanding a touched or swiped blob of the sphere.

Claims (30)

1 . A method for generating a topological user interface for a mobile device, said method comprising;

receiving search terms and search results;

generating a sphere and asymmetrical areas of said sphere responsive to said search terms and said search results; and

expanding a touched or swiped asymmetrical areas of said sphere.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein said generating step further comprises:

determining a number of asymmetrical areas and names of said determined asymmetrical areas;

generating asymmetrical areas on said sphere, wherein said start as circles;

generating said asymmetrical areas based on stretching said circles using X,Y fractals; and

denoting areas between said asymmetrical areas as alternate related content.

3 . The method according to claim 2 , further comprising generating a topology for said asymmetrical areas based on relevancy to said search terms.

4 . A mobile device for generating a topological mobile user interface, comprising;

means for receiving search terms and search results;

means for generating a sphere and blobs of said sphere responsive to said search terms and said search results; and

means for expanding a touched or swiped asymmetrical areas of said sphere.

5 . The mobile device according to claim 4 , wherein said means for generating further comprises:

means for determining a number of asymmetrical areas and names of said determined asymmetrical areas;

means for generating asymmetrical areas on said sphere, wherein said asymmetrical areas start as circles;

means for generating said asymmetrical areas based on stretching said circles using X,Y fractals; and

means for denoting areas between said asymmetrical areas as alternate related content.

6 . The mobile device according to claim 5 , further comprising means for generating a topology for said asymmetrical areas based on relevancy to said search terms.

7 . A mobile device for generating a topological mobile user interface, comprising;

an I/O module, said I/O module receiving search terms and search results;

a processor, said processor generating a sphere and asymmetrical areas of said sphere_responsive to said search terms and said search results, said processor in bi-directional communication with said I/O module; and

said processor expanding a touched or swiped asymmetrical areas_of said sphere.

8 . The mobile device according to claim 7 , wherein said means for generating further comprises:

said processor determining a number of asymmetrical areas and names of said determined asymmetrical areas;

said processor generating asymmetrical areas on said sphere, wherein said asymmetrical areas start as circles;

said processor generating said asymmetrical areas based on stretching said circles using X,Y fractals; and

said processor denoting areas between said asymmetrical areas as alternate related content.

9 . The mobile device according to claim 8 , further comprising said processor generating a topology for said asymmetrical areas based on relevancy to said search terms.
