SPHERE-LIKE MOBILE INTERACTIVE USER INTERFACE
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.
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.
