The above section detailed how the user would navigate
the menus of the DMS4 using the CONTACT keypad. The
CONTACT is a touch screen interface where the user just
touches his selection on the screen shown. The DISPLAY and
iREMOTE ® user interfaces have a display area that shows the
metadata and instead of pressing selections on the display
area the end-user uses the menu navigation, soft keys and
alphanumeric hard keys to navigate through the choices in the
display area. For example, to navigate the DMS4 to find and
start playing music from Mark Knopfler the user would press
the soft Key under menu in the Now playing screen. The
user would then use the UP and DOWN arrows to move the
highlight bar up and down on the listed items in the display
area.

the highlight down on the ARTISTS screen to highlight Mark
Knopfler, press select. The user then moves the highlight down
to the album from that artist and presses select. On the TRACKS
menu the user can press SELECT to choose all of the songs from
that album.

Alphanumeric search is also available on the iREMOTE ® and
DISPLAY keypad. The user can use the alphanumeric hard
buttons like a cell phone by using multiple presses of the 5
number the display area will show “J” and each successive
press of the 5 button cycles through the letters then the number.
(i.e. multiple presses of the 5 button will show the user “J”, “K”,
“L” then “5”) When the user has the letter or number he wants,
he then presses the right arrow to move over to enter the next
letter/number, left arrow to go back 1 character or SELECT to
start the search.
