Abstract
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to a technique for generating nested zoom in windows on a touch sensitive device. A first portion of the user content is zooming into by touching the display screen in a proximity of the first portion using the touch input device while retaining an original zoom size of a remaining portion of the user content. A second portion of a zoomed in first portion of the user content is zooming into by touching the display screen in a proximity of the second portion using the touch input device while retaining an original zoom size of the zoomed in first portion.
Claims24
A method, comprising:
- zooming into a first portion of user content by touching a touch sensitive display screen in a proximity of the first portion using a touch input device while retaining an original zoom size of a remaining portion of the user content;
- zooming into a second portion of the original zoom size by touching the display screen outside of the zoomed in first portion of the user content using the touch input device while retaining the zoomed in first portion of the user content and retaining the original zoom size of the remaining portion of the user content;
- selecting a first object in the zoomed in first portion with a first part of the touch input device;
- selecting a second object in the zoomed in second portion with a second part of the touch input device;
- and
- setting, using the touch input device, the remaining portion of the user content as the active window, the zoomed in first portion of the user content as the active window, or the zoomed in second portion of the user content as the active window.
An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor configured to:
- zoom into a first portion of user content by touching a touch sensitive display screen in a proximity of the first portion using a touch input device while retaining an original zoom size of a remaining portion of the user content;
- zoom into a second portion of the original zoom size by touching the display screen outside of the zoomed in first portion of the user content using the touch input device while retaining the zoomed in first portion of the user content and retaining the original zoom size of the remaining portion of the user content;
- select a first object in the zoomed in first portion with a first part of the touch input device;
- select a second object in the zoomed in second portion with a second part of the touch input device;
- set, using the touch input device, the remaining portion of the user content to the active window, the zoomed in first portion of the user content to the active window, or the zoomed in second portion of the user content as the active window;
- and
- a memory coupled to the at least one processor.
A computer program product comprising:
- a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising code configured to:
- zoom into a first portion of user content by touching a touch sensitive display screen in a proximity of the first portion using a touch input device while retaining an original zoom size of a remaining portion of the user content;
- zoom into a second portion of the original zoom size by touching the display screen outside of the zoomed in first portion of the user content using the touch input device while retaining the zoomed in first portion of the user content and retaining the original zoom size of the remaining portion of the user content;
- select a first object in the zoomed in first portion with a first part of the touch input device;
- select a second object in the zoomed in second portion with a second part of the touch input device;
- and
- set, using the touch input device, the remaining portion of the user content as the active window, the zoomed in first portion of the user content as the active window, or the zoomed in second portion of the user content as the active window.
