A pagination scrollbar is provided on a portion of the computer user interface, to navigate from a first portion of the document to a second portion of the document. The pagination scrollbar includes a navigation selection area that displays a page selection menu based on a user action performed by the user. The page selection menu includes one or more pagination links, each pagination link representing a unique page in the document. The pagination links are operable to navigate from the current page to a page represented by one of the pagination links selected from the page selection menu, based on a pagination link selection.

A computer user interface, embodied on one or more computer-readable media and executable on a computer, for navigating between one or more pages of a document, wherein at least one page is displayed as a current page on the computer user interface, the computer user interface comprising:
- a pagination scrollbar provided on a portion of the computer user interface, the pagination scrollbar operable to navigate from a first portion of the document to a second portion of the document;
- the pagination scrollbar comprising a navigation selection area operable to display a page selection menu based on a user action, wherein the page selection menu comprises one or more pagination links correspondingly representing the one or more pages of the document, and the pagination links being operable to navigate from the current page to one of the one or more pages of the document corresponding to the selected pagination link, based on a pagination link selection.
A computer user interface, embodied on one or more computer-readable media and executable on a computer, for navigating between one or more pages of a document, wherein at least one page is displayed as a current page on the computer user interface, the computer user interface comprising:
- a pagination scrollbar provided on a portion of the computer user interface, the pagination scrollbar operable to navigate from a first portion of the document to a second portion of the document;
- a first navigation selection area provided on the pagination scrollbar, the first navigation selection area operable to display a first page selection menu based on a first user action;
- the first page selection menu comprising one or more pagination links, each pagination link denoting a unique page preceding the current page, wherein each pagination link is operable to navigate from the current page to a preceding page denoted by the pagination link selected from the page selection menu, based on a second user action;
- a second navigation selection area provided on the pagination scrollbar, the second navigation selection area operable to display a second page selection menu based on the first user action;
- and
- the second page selection menu comprising one or more pagination links, each pagination link denoting a unique page succeeding the current page, wherein each pagination link is operable to navigate from the current page to a succeeding page denoted by the pagination link selected from the page selection menu, based on the second user action.
A system for navigating between one or more pages of a document in a computer user interface, the system comprising:
- a first selection determiner, in communication with the computer user interface, for determining a first user selection performed on a navigation selection area on a pagination scrollbar;
- a menu generator, in communication with the first selection determiner and the computer user interface, for displaying a page selection menu based on the first user selection;
- a second selection determiner, in communication with the menu generator and the computer user interface, for determining a second user selection performed on the page selection menu;
- and
- a page navigator, in communication with the second selection determiner and the computer interface, for navigating from a current page to a page denoted by the second user selection.
A computer implemented method for navigating between one or more pages of a document, wherein at least one of the one or more pages is displayed as a current page on the computer user interface, the method comprising:
- providing a navigation selection area in a portion of a pagination scrollbar, the pagination scrollbar provided on a portion of the computer user interface, the pagination scrollbar operable to navigate from a first portion of the document to a second portion of the document;
- based on a user action related to the navigation selection area, causing a page selection menu to be displayed, the page selection menu comprising a one or more pagination links correspondingly representing the one or more pages of the document;
- and
- based on a pagination link selection performed on one of the one or more pagination links, navigating from the current page on the computer user interface to a page denoted by a page number of the one of the plurality of pages selected by the user.
