20080216011 | Computer uswer interface for calendar auto-summerization - A relativity controller is a scroll bar/window combination that provides a way to see data in relation to both the context of its wholeness and the salience of its contents. To accomplish this, the linear density or other appearance of the scroll bar (acting as a ruler or scale) varies with the density of the document salience (as indicated by different kinds of annotations or marks). It also provides a way to zoom between perspectives. This is usable on many different data types: including sound, video, graphics, calendars and word processors. | 09-04-2008 |
20080229236 | Non-linear navigation in discussion forums - Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with providing non-linear navigation in a discussion forum are described.

20090119615 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING SCROLLING OF PAGES ON TOUCH SCREEN OF HAND-HELD ELECTRONIC APPARATUS - A method and device for controlling the scrolling of pages on a touch screen of a hand-held electronic apparatus. A liquid crystal display and a touch panel having a larger area than that of the liquid crystal display are overlapped and combined with each other. The overlapped region is defined as a first touch zone, while the non-overlapped region is defined as second touch zones and a third touch zone. Next, a user determines whether a scroll is shown in the picture of the display. If the user determines that a scroll is shown in the picture, a sliding path is sensed by the second touch zone, and the user controls the page to scroll upwards or downwards in the picture based on the sliding path. The first touch zone is pressed to thereby perform the function of the selected page. If the user determines that a scroll is not shown in the picture, a sliding path is sensed by the third touch zone, and the user controls the page to slide rightwards or leftwards in the picture based on the sliding path. The first touch zone is pressed again to thereby perform the function of the selected page. | 05-07-2009 |

In this manner, the user is given a visual context for scrolling operations that provides an intuitive reference point when scrolling through a document. A user can easily determine where the newly displayed content picks up from where the previously displayed content left off. The visual indicator can be transitory if desired, so that it gradually fades after some period of time. | 05-28-2009 |

20100162161 | SMOOTH PIXEL-BASED SCROLLING IN A USER INTERFACE CONTROL - Described is a technology in which a user interface element (a control, e.g., a datagrid) provides smoother scrolling by computing and updating a row height estimate. For example, the row height estimate along with the total number of rows may be used to configure a scrollbar. A control outputs visible rows according to user scrolling interaction based on a current row index and current pixel values corresponding to that current row index. The estimate is obtained based upon the current row index and the current pixel value for the row index. Whenever a row index is encountered that is larger than any previously-encountered row index, the row height estimate is updated, e.g., to reconfigure the scrollbar. Also described is outputting partially visible rows based on a number of pixels available in a display area below a last fully visible row, and/or above a first fully visible row. | 06-24-2010 |

20110173564 | EXTENDING VIEW FUNCTIONALITY OF APPLICATION - The viewing functionality of an application may be extended by use of an adapter. An application is instantiated, and the application may provide a view box that contains a scrolling feature as part of its interface. The adapter uses the application “behind the scenes” to collect information in a way that is not visible to the user. Mouse gestures may be defined to perform various viewing functions such as zooming. The adapter intercepts these gestures in the window that the user uses to interact with the application, and interprets the gestures as specific view commands (such as zoom). Based on the commands (or, possibly, in anticipation of commands that have not yet been issued), the adapter uses the application to collect content. The application then scales the content appropriately, puts the scaled content in a document, and overlays the document on top of the view box. | 07-14-2011 |
