A method and hierarchical menu is provided for displaying on the screen of a handheld electronic device an extended menu or a short menu, which is a subset of the corresponding extended menu. The method includes displaying a page on a screen and receiving an ambiguous request/selection when no menu is displayed. In response to the ambiguous selection, a short menu corresponding to the displayed page is displayed on the screen. Various short menus are provided with their respective menu items being dependent and adjustable based upon the position of a cursor on the displayed page, the currently opened application, and/or the previous selections. Further, a selection from the short menu is capable of displaying the extended menu corresponding thereto.

La présente invention concerne un procédé et un menu hiérarchique permettant d'afficher sur l'écran d'un dispositif électronique portable un menu développé ou un menu abrégé, qui est un sous-ensemble du menu développé correspondant. Le procédé comprend l'affichage d'une page sur un écran et la réception d'une requête/sélection ambiguë quand aucun menu n'est affiché. En réponse à la sélection ambiguë, un menu abrégé correspondant à la page affichée s'affiche à l'écran. Divers menus abrégés sont fournis et leurs options de menu respectives sont dépendantes et ajustables en fonction de la position d'un curseur sur la page affichée, de l'application ouverte à ce moment et/ou des sélections précédentes. En outre, une sélection à partir du menu abrégé peut permettre d'afficher le menu développé qui lui correspond.
