Abstract
A method and apparatus configured to implement a Drag Menu for providing data service includes selecting menu items from a menu of a mobile device. A processor of a mobile device causes a base icon to be displayed on a touch-sensitive display of the mobile device at a position easy to access by a user of the mobile device with a finger of a hand of the user when the user is holding the mobile device with only the hand. This causes the processor to display a plurality of context menu items in at least a partial ring around the base icon. The processor also causes a plurality of global menu items to be displayed on the display in at least a partial ring around the context menu items. The processor accesses or implements an action associated with one of the menu items in response to the user using a drag gesture from the base icon to one menu item on the touch-sensitive display.
