Three-dimensional display and control image
A device for controlling a plurality of electronic appliances is disclosed. The device includes a display, a processor and computer memory. The display presents a three-dimensional image. The processor is in communication with the display and the plurality of electronic appliances. The computer memory device is in communication with the processor and has a first control logic stored thereon. The first control logic is executable by the processor to form the three-dimensional image on the display. The image includes a plurality of facets having operational modes for controlling an operation of at least one of the plurality of electronic appliances.
1 . A device for controlling a plurality of electronic appliances, the device comprising:
a display for displaying a first three-dimensional image;
a processor in communication with the display and the plurality of electronic appliances; and
a computer memory device in communication with the processor having a first control logic stored thereon and executable by the processor to form the first three-dimensional image on the display, and wherein the first image includes a plurality of facets having operational modes for controlling an operation of at least one of the plurality of electronic appliances.
2 . The device of claim 1 wherein the first three-dimensional image is an oval shape.
3 . The device of claim 1 wherein the first three-dimensional image is a sphere shape.
4 . The device of claim 1 wherein the computer memory has a second control logic stored thereon and executable by the processor to rotate the first three-dimensional image about a first rotational axis.
5 . The device of claim 4 wherein the computer memory has a third control logic stored thereon and executable by the processor to rotate the first three-dimensional image about a second rotational axis.
6 . The device of claim 5 wherein the computer memory has a fourth control logic stored thereon and executable by the processor to move the facet to a center of the image by rotate the first three-dimensional image about at least one of the first and second rotational axis.
7 . The device of claim 6 wherein the computer memory has a fifth control logic stored thereon and executable by the processor to change an appearance of the facet that has been moved to the center of the image.
8 . The device of claim 1 wherein the computer memory has a second control logic stored thereon and executable by the processor to form and display a second three-dimensional image within the first three-dimensional image on the display device, wherein the second three-dimensional image includes facets having operational modes for controlling an operation of at least one of the plurality of electronic appliances.
9 . The device of claim 1 wherein the computer memory has a second control logic stored thereon and executable by the processor to form and display a second three-dimensional image adjacent the first three-dimensional image on the display device, wherein the second three-dimensional image includes facets having operational modes for controlling an operation of at least one of the plurality of electronic appliances.
10 . The device of claim 1 wherein the computer memory has a second control logic stored thereon and executable by the processor to display the facets horizontally across the first image.
11 . The device of claim 1 wherein the computer memory has a second control logic stored thereon and executable by the processor to display the facets vertically across the first image.
12 . The device of claim 1 wherein the computer memory has a second control logic stored thereon and executable by the processor to display the facets diagonally across the first image.
