The menu system

Pipes, balls and a puck

The hierarchy of menus and controls is represented by an animated visual mechanism of pipes, balls and a puck. Unlike a map, however, the animated mechanism constantly shows the current whereabouts and continually expands the view of the immediate neighbourhood.

The puck represents the user’s point of focus, by surrounding the ball indicating the user’s current position in the menu hierarchy.

The puck is always present when the menu system is displayed.

The puck is divided into 4 wedge-shaped regions.They correspond to the directional controls (up/down, left/right) on the remote control.The arrows on the cursor indicate which directions to choose.

In this way users can navigate through the menu hierarchy to arrive at the control they wish to adjust.

Pressing a valid key on the remote control shifts focus from the current ball to the next one connected by a pipe in that direction.

Balls represent a branch of the menu hierarchy.

All menu items are represented by balls. Each ball is identified with an identifying text label. When items (balls) of a menu level are more numerous than can fit comfortably on the TV display, only a portion of the items are shown as balls along the pipe.Those omitted are indicated by a cluster of balls which indicates that there are ‘more’.

Pipes connect balls together and show the path the user can traverse through the menu structure. Pipes represent individual branches of the menu hierarchy.

Interaction

Every pathway in the menu structure leads eventually to a point, where users can set levels, change values or adjust some aspect of system performance.

List controls

A list control is used to select one or more items from a list of options. For instance, the Picture format option list with 4:3, Movie Expand 14:9, etc. Press the right key to move the puck into the list. At least one item is the current value and is highlighted as such.

Moving the puck up or down with the up/down key causes the list to move down or up. A single-value list allows only one item to be selected at one time and de-selects another.
