Abstract
An apparatus includes a display configured to show one or more displayed items of a plurality of items, wherein a number of the plurality of items extend off at least one end of the display, scrolling circuitry configured for sensing a touching down on the display on one or more of the displayed items and a dragging motion of the one or more displayed items in a direction, and a processor configured for automatically setting an initial speed for scrolling the plurality of items and configured for continuously reducing the scrolling speed proportionate to the plurality of items, so that scrolling slows and then stops upon reaching the last item.
Claims19
An apparatus comprising:
- a display configured to show one or more displayed items of a plurality of items, wherein a number of the plurality of items extend off at least one end of the display;
- scrolling circuitry configured for sensing a touching down on the display on one or more of the displayed items and a dragging motion of the one or more displayed items in a direction;
- and
- a processor configured for automatically setting an initial speed for scrolling the plurality of items and configured for continuously reducing the scrolling speed proportionate to the plurality of items, so that scrolling slows and then stops upon reaching the last item.
A method comprising:
- touching down on one or more displayed items of a plurality of items, wherein a number of the plurality of items extend off at least one end of a display;
- dragging the one or more displayed items in a direction;
- automatically scrolling the plurality of items at an initial speed;
- and
- continuously reducing the scrolling speed proportionate to the plurality of items, so that scrolling slows and then stops upon reaching the last item.
A method comprising:
- touching down on one or more items shown on a display wherein a number of the items extend off at least one end of the display;
- dragging the one or more items in a direction;
- automatically scrolling the items at an accelerated rate and then at a speed proportionate to the number of items;
- and
- stopping the scrolling upon reaching the last item.
A computer readable medium encoded with computer program code, which when executed causes a computer to:
- show one or more displayed items of a plurality of items on a display, wherein a number of the plurality of items extend off at least one end of the display;
- sense a touching down on the display on one or more of the displayed items and a dragging motion of the one or more displayed items in a direction;
- and
- automatically set an initial speed for scrolling the plurality of items and continuously reduce the scrolling speed proportionate to the plurality of items, so that scrolling slows and then stops upon reaching the last item.
