Abstract

A simplified user interface for accessing multiple features resident in an electronic device. A higher level menu includes a location application. The user launches the location application and enters a name or partial name of a feature or application the user wishes to locate. The application then displays to the user a list of features that most closely match the user entry. The user can then choose one of the displayed features or applications. The user is also provided the opportunity to scroll through a list of available features within the device. If the user accesses a feature from the list the corresponding control display is presented to the user. If the user accesses an application from the list the application is immediately launched. The high level application allows the user to access features and launch applications without navigating the menu structure.
