Abstract

La présente invention concerne une interface utilisateur qui organise des éléments de menu sélectionnables par l'utilisateur par azimut sur une ou plusieurs trajectoires présentant une figure géométrique prédéterminée, et qui, lorsqu'un élément de menu est sélectionné, recherche des contenus finaux par un procédé de sortie d'éléments de menu de l'étape suivante. Elle concerne également un terminal utilisateur comprenant ladite interface utilisateur. Une interface utilisateur, selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, comprend: plusieurs éléments de menu sélectionnables par l'utilisateur; et une trame d'éléments présentant une forme tridimensionnelle planaire pouvant être géométrique pour organiser les éléments de menu dans des positions prédéterminées par azimut sur une ou plusieurs trajectoires. Un moyen d'entrée prédéterminé peut être utilisé pour sélectionner un élément de menu désiré, et les éléments de menu configurant l'interface utilisateur peuvent être modifiés ou reconstitués par l'utilisateur.
