System and method for retrieving data based on scrolling velocity

A display device comprising:

• a display;
• and
• one or more processors configured to execute one or more instructions to:
• display initial data of at least a first presentation of a first one or more items in a list of items in a user interface of the display;
• receive a user input to cause scrolling through the list of items in the user interface;
• calculate an initial scrolling velocity responsive to the user input;
• predict, in accordance with the initial scrolling velocity and a deceleration rate, a second presentation of a second one or more items in the list of items that corresponds to an anticipated stopping of the scrolling;
• and
• retrieve data to be displayed in the second presentation before the stopping of the scrolling.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions executable by a display device to perform a method for retrieving data while scrolling through a list of items in a user interface, the method comprising:

• displaying initial data of at least a first presentation of a first one or more items in a list of items in a user interface of a display device;
• receiving a user input to cause scrolling through the list of items in the user interface;
• calculating an initial scrolling velocity responsive to the user input;
• predicting, in accordance with the initial scrolling velocity and a deceleration rate, a second presentation of a second one or more items in the list of items that corresponds to an anticipated stopping of the scrolling;
• and
• retrieving data to be displayed in the second presentation before the stopping of the scrolling.
