Method of a Wireless Communication Device for Managing Status Components for Global Call Control
There is described a method of a wireless communication device for managing status components for global call control. A selectable region is displayed at a display. A first user input is then detected at an input component associated with the display corresponding to selection of the selectable region. Next, an active call status component associated with a current call is displayed at the display in response to the first user input. A second user input is detected at the input component corresponding to selection of the current call status component. Thereafter, active call information associated with an active call is displayed at the display or an active call is terminated in response to detecting the second user input.
1 . A method of a wireless communication device for managing status components for global call control, the method comprising:
displaying a selectable region at a display;
detecting a first user input at an input component associated with the display corresponding to selection of the selectable region;
displaying an active call status component associated with a current call at the display in response to the first user input;
detecting a second user input at the input component corresponding to selection of the current call status component; and
displaying active call information associated with an active call at the display in response to detecting the second user input.
2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising conducting a call at the wireless communication device before displaying the selectable region at the display, wherein the call is still pending when the selectable region is displayed.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the active call status component further includes a second indicator corresponding to a non-current call.
4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the non-current call is at least one of a wireless status, a volume status, or a battery status.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first user input is a linear gesture initiated proximate the selectable region and directed away from the selectable region.
6 . The method of claim 6 , wherein displaying an active call status component associated with a current call at the display includes showing a graphical window that enlarges as the linear gesture is directed away from the selectable region, wherein the active call status component is shown in the graphical window.
7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the selectable region encompasses a total width of the display.
8 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
detecting whether the current call has been terminated; and
removing the active call status component from the display in response to detecting that the current call has been terminated.
9 . A method of a wireless communication device for managing status components for global call control, the method comprising:
displaying a selectable region at a display;
detecting a first user input at an input component associated with the display corresponding to selection of the selectable region;
displaying an active call status component associated with a current call at the display in response to the first user input;
detecting a second user input at the display corresponding to selection of the current call status component; and
terminating an active call in response to detecting the second user input.
10 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising conducting a call at the wireless communication device before displaying the selectable region at the display, wherein the call is still pending when the selectable region is displayed.
11 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the active call status component further includes a second indicator corresponding to a non-current call.
12 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the non-current call is at least one of a wireless status, a volume status, or a battery status.
13 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first user input is a linear gesture initiated proximate the selectable region and directed away from the selectable region.
14 . The method of claim 6 , wherein displaying an active call status component associated with a current call at the display includes showing a graphical window that enlarges as the linear gesture is directed away from the selectable region, wherein the active call status component is shown in the graphical window.
15 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the selectable region encompasses a total width of the display.
