Abstract
Overscroll stretch animation. In accordance with a first method embodiment, a portion of displayable information is displayed on a touch screen display in a nominal state. A movement of an object on or near the touch screen display is detected. Responsive to the movement, a boundary limit of the displayable information is detected. Responsive to the detecting, the portion of displayable information is displayed in a distorted state. The distorted state simulates fabric stretching.
Claims20
A computer implemented method comprising:
- at a device comprising a touch screen display:
- displaying a portion of displayable information in a nominal state;
- detecting a movement of an object on or near said touch screen display;
- responsive to said movement, detecting a boundary limit of said displayable information;
- and
- responsive to said detecting, displaying said portion of displayable information in a distorted state, wherein said distorted state simulates fabric stretching in a direction of said movement.
A computer system comprising:
- a touch screen display;
- at least one processor;
- a memory;
- one or more programs,
- wherein said one or more programs are stored in said memory and configured to be executed by said at least one processor to control said computer system to:
- display a portion of displayable information in a nominal state on said touch screen display;
- detect a movement of an object on or near said touch screen display;
- responsive to said movement, detect a boundary limit of said displayable information;
- and
- responsive to a detection of said boundary limit, display said portion of displayable information in a distorted state on said touch screen display, wherein said distorted state changes a shape of items of said portion of displayable information in a direction of said movement.
An article of manufacture including a computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, responsive to execution by an electronic system, cause said electronic system to perform operations comprising:
- displaying a portion of displayable information in a nominal state;
- detecting a movement of an object on or near a touch screen display;
- responsive to said movement, detecting a boundary limit of said displayable information;
- and
- responsive to said detecting, displaying said portion of displayable information in a distorted state, wherein said distorted state simulates fabric stretching in a direction of said movement.
