ABSTRACT:
Elements of the value domain or option selections are displayed in two vertical, linear lists disposed in a menu structure having rectangular areas and nonrectangular areas. The nonrectangular areas have boundaries which radially diverge from an origin point at which the cursor is initially positioned. The origin point may be surrounded by a central zone which serves as a dead zone or optionally linked to a predefined option such as selection of a higher level menu. The resulting menu selection system results in a reduction in the physical effort expended to utilize the menu.
