In accordance with some embodiments, a computer-implemented method for use in conjunction with a device with a touch screen display is disclosed. In the method, a movement of an object on or near the touch screen display is detected. In response to detecting the movement, an electronic document displayed on the touch screen display is translated in a first direction. If an edge of the electronic document is reached while translating the electronic document in the first direction while the object is still detected on or near the touch screen display, an area beyond the edge of the document is displayed. After the object is no longer detected on or near the touch screen display, the document is translated in a second direction until the area beyond the edge of the document is no longer displayed.

A system and methods for facilitation of user interactions with an electronic device. A number of user interface methods are described and may be used alone or in combination with one another to present an enhanced interface to a user. A method of providing user interaction using a compact status indicator is described. A method for providing a virtual scroll wheel to a user for interaction with content sets is described. A method for allowing a user to dynamically modify a scalable user interface is described. A method for providing gesture based input to a user via a virtual gesture pad is described. A method of providing an interactive graphic search query interface is described. A method for indicating and selecting available content type is described.

System and methods for interacting with a control environment

At least certain embodiments of the present disclosure include an environment with user interface software interacting with a software application. A method for operating through an application programming interface (API) in this environment includes transferring a set bounce call. The method further includes setting at least one of maximum and minimum bounce values. The set bounce call causes a bounce of a scrolled region in an opposite direction of a scroll based on a region past an edge of the scrolled region being visible in a display region at the end of the scroll.

Application Programming Interfaces for Scrolling Operations

A keypad includes a light guide panel, the interior of which light propagates through; at least one key button positioned on the upper surface of the light guide panel; and at least one reflective pattern fixedly positioned with respect to the light guide panel to reflect a part of the light, which propagates through the interior of the light guide panel, towards the key button.

Keypad and keypad assembly

A portable electronic device includes a menu display having a plurality of menu items, and a menu item pointer movable by a user to highlight particular menu items. The portable electronic device includes a motion sensor for sensing relative movement between the portable electronic device and an imaging surface. The motion sensor is configured to generate a first set of movement data indicating a first relative movement between the portable electronic device and the imaging surface. The motion sensor is configured to generate a second set of movement data indicating a second relative movement between the portable electronic device and the imaging surface. A controller is configured to move the menu item pointer based on the first set of movement data to highlight a first menu item. The controller is configured to select the first menu item based on the second set of movement data.

Portable electronic device with mouse-like capabilities

The present invention relates to at least one image section which is represented according to a zoom factor selected from a number of different zoom factors. Either the represented image section is changed when the zoom factor is lower than a zoom threshold value, or a marker representation superimposing the image section is displaced when the zoom factor is higher than a zoom threshold value, via input elements.

The invention relates to at least one image section which is represented according to a zoom factor selected from a plurality of different zoom factors. Either the represented image section is changed when the zoom factor is lower than a zoom threshold value, or a marker representation superimposing the image section is displaced when the zoom factor is higher than a zoom threshold value, by means of input elements.

Method and device for navigating inside an image

The device includes a recording unit (1) for serially recording image information (A,A'). An image evaluation unit (3) evaluates the recorded information and determines control information (x,y,z). A data processing unit (4) process the control information and forms selection information (P;B;F). A display unit (2) displays the selection information. The image evaluation unit determines the control information from a relative displacement of the serially recorded image information. The image evaluation unit may include an image compression unit for producing movement vectors, the control information representing a main movement vector of the serially recorded image information.

Bei der vorliegenden Erfindung handelt es sich um eine Vorrichtung 107, 108 bzw. 303 zur komfortablen Eingabe, Steuerung und Manipulation von Text- und/oder Bilddaten, die auf dem Ausgabesichtfeld 103 eines Telekommunikations-Endgerats zur Text-, Ton- und/oder Bildubertragung bzw. -speicherung, insbesondere eines Mobiltelefons, grafisch visualisiert werden. Mit Hilfe dieser Vorrichtung wird eine stufenlose Navigation einer Einfuge- und/oder Positionsmarke in der Ebene eines Ausgabe-Sichtfeldes 103 in allen Richtungen ermoglicht. Zur zweidimensionalen Ortsorientierung und Navigation in der Ebene des Sichtfeldes 103 werden keine weiteren hardwaretechnischen Hilfsmittel benotigt, und eine Benutzereingabe uber eine Tastenkombination ist zu diesem Zweck ebenfalls nicht erforderlich. Zwei spezielle Ausfuhrungsformen der Erfindung betreffen Vorrichtungen, bei denen es sich zur Orientierung und Navigation einer Einfuge- und/oder Positionsmarke zur Eingabe bzw. zum Editieren von Text- und/oder Bilddokumenten benotigten Steuerungseinheit um ein ins Endgerat integriertes Drehrad 107 in Kombination mit einem Vierrichtungsschalter 108 bzw. um eine ins Endgerat integrierte Vorrichtung 303 mit einem drehbar gelagerten Rollband 305 als Navigationsmedium handelt.
