- the display 120 renders a list 125 of items such as applications, contacts, entails, messages, picture thumb nails, media files, etc., which a user can navigate through and select.
- the items in the displayed list 125 are each rendered within a field 120 on the display 120 , where each field 120 is of a certain height ‘h.’
- ‘n’ number of fields 120 will be provided.
- only ‘m’ fields 126 can be displayed on the display region 120 , where ‘m’ ⁇ ‘n.’

- the list 125 is made scrollable.
- the list of items 125 is rendered horizontally within ‘n’ fields each of width ‘w,’ the width of the visible display region is approximately ‘m’ ⁇ ‘w.’
- the display area is where the user views several portions of the list as the list is being scrolled.
- the total size of the list 125 is larger than the display area, so the number of items of the list that can be displayed in the display area at a time is related to the dimensions of the field 120 .
- the processor 150 reads the contents of the application from memory 140 and creates a scrollable list 125 of the content (items).
- the list 125 is made scrollable if the size of the list exceeds the size of the display area.
- the plurality of items in the list is provided in a plurality of fields. The number of fields and the height of each field are determined by the processor 150 based on default settings or user preferred settings.
- the processor 150 then displays a portion of the list having a plurality of items on the display 120 .
- the user can use keyboard commands, such as arrow keys or page-up and page-down keys, or a scrollbar to change the display position of display area (i.e., to scroll) on a line-by-line or page-by-page basis.
- the processor 150 moves the displayed items list 125 in a corresponding direction, e.g., horizontal, vertical direction, etc.
- the distance the list moves each time the user initiates a scroll command is equivalent to the height ‘h’ or width ‘w’ of each field.
- Scrolling through the list may also be implemented on a fixed-increment basis, such as line-by-line, page-by-page, or the like.
- Page-by-page scrolling is commonly implemented using “page up” and “page down” keys.
- “page-by-page” typically refers to scrolling by approximately a screen's (display area's) worth of displayed content.
- scrolling down by one page causes the last line of the currently displayed portion to move to the top of the display area.
- most of the displayed portion of the document remains on the screen while a new portion is displayed. For example, a single line tor other small amount of the displayed content) may be removed from the top of the display window, while a new line (or other increment of new content) is introduced at the bottom of the display window.
- the processor 150 cheeks whether the last item of the list is displayed on the screen 120 . If the user continues to scroll the list after the last item of the list is displayed, the processor 150 provides a visual clue to the user indicating that the list has reached an end. Preferably, the visual clue is provided when a last portion of the list of items is displayed. Also, the processor 150 can provide the visual clue when the end of the list is about to be reached. The purpose of the visual clue is to inform the user that he/she is seeing the top of the list 125 and cannot scroll any further up or that he/she is seeing the bottom of the list 125 and cannot scroll any further down.
- the processor 150 detects a beginning of the list and an end of the list based on the total number of fields and the order of the last field that is visible on the display area.
- order refers to rank or position of a component relative to others.
- the maximum number of fields that should be displayed at a time on the display area is determined based on a default setting or a user preferred setting. For example, decreasing the size of the fields can increase the number of fields that can be displayed on the display area at a time. However, decreasing the field size might also require the item in the respective field to reduce in size.
- the default setting might be chosen based on an optimal size of the items required for viewing each item.
- a list may consists of eight items each comprised in a field. If the height of each field is set at about one centimeter and the height of the display area is about five centimeters, the maximum number of fields that can be vertically displayed (one field below the other field) at a time may be five fields. Conversely, if the maximum number of fields that should be displayed at a time is set at about five, then the height of each field may be calculated as one centimeter based on the height of the display area which may be known to be about five centimeters. Further, each scroll operation increments the list by one field.
- two scrolls down the list will move the top two items (i.e., fields) in the list up and out of the display area such that fields in the order of three to seven are currently displayed on the display area.
- the processor measures the order of the last field in the visible display area as seven and determines that the last field, i.e., the eighth field will be reached on the next scroll.
- the processor measures the order of the first field displayed in the display area. For example, if the order of the first field displayed in the display area is five, the processor determines that there are four more fields to be scrolled for the beginning of the list (i.e., the first field) to be displayed.
- the visual clue is provided by modifying the dimensions of a portion of the list or the last item of the list if the scrolling operation continues after the end-of-list is reached and bringing back the modified list to its original dimensions once the scrolling operation is terminated.
- modifying the dimensions of the last item in the list includes modifying the dimensions of at least one object at the end of the list of objects.
- object refers to text, icon, graphics, image, picture, thumbnail, etc. used for representing an item or content.
- at least one dimension of the last object representing an item is extended in a linear direction to give a visual effect as that of a stretched item.
- FIG. 3 shows a vertically displayed list of items 125 , where each item is represented by a string of characters called ‘text.’
- the list as shown in FIG. 3 represents the list as it would appear during no scrolling or during normal scrolling i.e., before the end or beginning of the list is reached.
- FIG. 4 illustrates the list as it would appear when the list is scrolled after the beginning of the list is reached.
- the processor 150 detects that the list has been scrolled all the way to the beginning of the list based on determining that the first field having the first item is displayed on the display area.
- the processor 150 Upon detecting that the scrolling operation is performed even after the beginning of the list is reached, the processor 150 provides a visual clue to indicate that there are no more items to be scrolled and that the user needn't scroll further.
- the visual chic is provided as shown, by stretching the text (object) that represents the first item, item 1. Stretching an object refers to increasing at least one dimension of the object such as length, width, and thickness. For example, the length of the string of alphabets representing an item is increased, while maintaining the width of the string of alphabets constant.
- the object representing the first item is stretched along a direction up to a peak length of extension.
- the peak length can be a predefined length that defines the maximum linear extent up to which an object representing an item can be stretched in a particular direction.
- the peak length is determined based on the intensity of the scrolling operation.
- the intensity of the scrolling operation is measured in terms of e.g., velocity or acceleration or the scrolling operation such that the peak length in the linear direction is proportional to the intensity of the scrolling operation.
- a portion 127 of the list of items can be stretched along a single direction to provide a visual clue to the user.
- a portion of the list refers to a subset of the items in the list 125 .
- the number of items that define a subset can be predefined and preferably form the first few items at the beginning of the list.
- the first three objects representing the first three items can be stretched to provide the visual clue. At least one dimension of each of the first three objects is extended up to a peak length which is different from the peak length of extension for the other two objects.
- the objects representing each of the three items are stretched to a decreasing order of peak lengths.
- a peak length of extension for the third item is less than a peak length of extension for the second item
- a peak length of extension for the second item is less than a peak length of extension for the first item.
- Stretching the subset of the list of items in such a manner provides a visual effect as that of a stretched elastic sheet.
- the last three objects can be stretched to provide the visual clue. The last three objects are stretched in a direction each up to varying peak lengths.
- the visual clue is provided by reducing the dimensions of a portion of the list or the last item of the list if the scrolling operation continues after the end-of-list is reached and snapping back to the original dimensions once the scrolling operation is terminated.
- the size of the field is also adjusted in proportion to accommodate the object's new dimensions Due to the change in the field size of at least one object, the number of fields that can be displayed in the display area is also changed.
- FIG. 6 shows an example of a list of thumbnails of images as it would appear during no-scrolling or normal scrolling. When the end of the list is reached and scrolling continues, a subset of the thumbnails at the end of the list is stretched to provide a visual clue.
- the size of the field 126 in this example, the length of the field 126 , is also extended in proportion to the stretched object in each field.
- the number of fields that can be displayed on the display area at a time depends on the size of each field and the size of the display area. Since the size of the display area is fixed, a change in the size of the field causes a change in the number of fields that can be displayed at a time. An increase in the dimensions of at least one field causes a decrease in the number of displayable fields. As shown in FIG. 7 , stretching a subset of fields at one extreme (right) of the list causes at least one field in the other extreme (left) or the list to be moved out of the display area 120 .
- FIG. 8 is a flowchart depicting a method for enhancing scrolling operation in a display device according to one embodiment.
- the display device detects 810 a scrolling operation on a list of objects.
- the scrolling operation is detected by receiving a user input via the user interface.
- the device determines 820 whether the list of objects is reaching an end.
- the device determines that the list is reaching an end by determining that at least one object at the end of the list will be displayed during the next scrolling operation.
- the device determines that the list is reaching an end by determining that at least one object at the end of the list is already displayed on the display area during the scrolling operation.
- the device In response to determining that the list is scrolled to an end, the device extends 830 at least one object at the end of the list of objects in the linear direction. In an embodiment, only one dimension of the at least one object is extended while keeping other dimensions of the at least one object unchanged. The device extends the at least One object up to a peak length in the linear direction. At 840 , the device determines whether the at least one object has reached the peak length of extension and retracts 850 the at least one object in a reverse linear direction in response to reaching the peak length. In an embodiment, a predetermined quantity of objects at the end of the list of objects is extended in a linear direction. For example, the predetermined quantity can be one object.
- the predetermined quantity of objects to be extended is a subset of objects at the end of the list of objects.
- An end of the list refers to the extremity of the list in the direction of scrolling e.g., upward. downward, right, and left.
- a peak length of each object of the subset of objects is in an increasing degree to each subsequent object in the subset.
- the method further includes measuring a intensity of the scrolling operation and determining the peak length of extension based on the measured intensity.
- intensity of the scrolling operation is measured in terms of velocity and acceleration. For example, when the scrolling operation is measured to have a speed of ‘x’ meters/second, the peak length of extension can be 4 millimeters. When the scrolling operation is measured to have a speed of ‘y’ meters/second, where ‘y’ is less than ‘x,’ the peak length of extension can be two millimeters.
- the device determines whether the scrolling operation has terminated. The device then retracts the at least one object in the reverse linear direction in response to determining that the scrolling operation has terminated. The at least one object is retracted back to the original length of the at least one object in the reverse linear direction. The at least one object had an original length before it was extended to the peak length. In an embodiment, the device retracts the at least one object to a reduced length which is less than the original length of the at least one object and, eventually, returns or brings back the at least one object to its original length, thereby, producing the visual effect of a stretched and released elastic sheet.

Thememory 140 may include at least one type of storage medium including a Flash memory, a hard disk, a multimedia card, a card-type memory (e.g., SD or DX memory, etc), a Random Access Memory (RAM), a Static Random Access Memory (SRAM), a Read-Only Memory (ROM), an Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM), a Programmable Read-Only Memory (PROM), a magnetic memory, a magnetic disk, an optical disk, and the like. - The
transceiver unit 160 can be implemented as a transmitting and receiving component of thedisplay device 110. In an embodiment, the functions of thetransceiver 160 can be implemented in theprocessor 150. Thetransceiver unit 160 makes content available to thedisplay device 110 over an antenna (not shown). The antenna includes any known or developed structure for radiating and receiving electromagnetic energy in the frequency range containing the wireless carrier frequencies. - The
display 120 is used for rendering information received and/or processed in thedisplay device 110. For example, when thedisplay device 110 is in a phone call mode, the display may render a User Interface (UI) or a Graphic User Interface (GUI) associated with a call or other communication (such as text messaging, multimedia tile downloading, etc.). When thedisplay device 110 is in a video call mode or image capturing mode, thedisplay 120 may display a captured image and/or received image, a UI or GUI that shows videos or images and functions related thereto, and the like. - As shown in
FIG. 2 , thedisplay 120 renders alist 125 of items such as applications, contacts, entails, messages, picture thumb nails, media files, etc., which a user can navigate through and select. The items in the displayedlist 125 are each rendered within afield 120 on thedisplay 120, where eachfield 120 is of a certain height ‘h.’ For a list of ‘n’ item, ‘n’ number offields 120 will be provided. However, at a given time, only ‘m’fields 126 can be displayed on thedisplay region 120, where ‘m’<‘n.’ In one embodiment of the invention, the height of thevisible display region 120 is approximately ‘m’בh’. Thus, when there aremore fields 120 in the list than can he displayed at one time, thelist 125 is made scrollable. Similarly, when the list ofitems 125 is rendered horizontally within ‘n’ fields each of width ‘w,’ the width of the visible display region is approximately ‘m’בw.’ - The display area is where the user views several portions of the list as the list is being scrolled. As noted above, the total size of the
list 125 is larger than the display area, so the number of items of the list that can be displayed in the display area at a time is related to the dimensions of thefield 120. When a particular application is accessed using theuser interface 130, theprocessor 150 reads the contents of the application frommemory 140 and creates ascrollable list 125 of the content (items). Thelist 125 is made scrollable if the size of the list exceeds the size of the display area. The plurality of items in the list is provided in a plurality of fields. The number of fields and the height of each field are determined by theprocessor 150 based on default settings or user preferred settings. Theprocessor 150 then displays a portion of the list having a plurality of items on thedisplay 120. The user can use keyboard commands, such as arrow keys or page-up and page-down keys, or a scrollbar to change the display position of display area (i.e., to scroll) on a line-by-line or page-by-page basis. Based on detecting the user input for scrolling, theprocessor 150 moves the displayed items list 125 in a corresponding direction, e.g., horizontal, vertical direction, etc. The distance the list moves each time the user initiates a scroll command is equivalent to the height ‘h’ or width ‘w’ of each field. - Scrolling through the list may also be implemented on a fixed-increment basis, such as line-by-line, page-by-page, or the like. Page-by-page scrolling is commonly implemented using “page up” and “page down” keys. In scrolling operations, “page-by-page” typically refers to scrolling by approximately a screen's (display area's) worth of displayed content. Thus, scrolling down by one page causes the last line of the currently displayed portion to move to the top of the display area. For relatively small increments, most of the displayed portion of the document remains on the screen while a new portion is displayed. For example, a single line tor other small amount of the displayed content) may be removed from the top of the display window, while a new line (or other increment of new content) is introduced at the bottom of the display window.
- While the displayed list is being scrolled on an incremental basis, say field-by-field, the
processor 150 cheeks whether the last item of the list is displayed on thescreen 120. If the user continues to scroll the list after the last item of the list is displayed, theprocessor 150 provides a visual clue to the user indicating that the list has reached an end. Preferably, the visual clue is provided when a last portion of the list of items is displayed. Also, theprocessor 150 can provide the visual clue when the end of the list is about to be reached. The purpose of the visual clue is to inform the user that he/she is seeing the top of thelist 125 and cannot scroll any further up or that he/she is seeing the bottom of thelist 125 and cannot scroll any further down. - In an embodiment, the
processor 150 detects a beginning of the list and an end of the list based on the total number of fields and the order of the last field that is visible on the display area. Here the term “order” refers to rank or position of a component relative to others. The maximum number of fields that should be displayed at a time on the display area is determined based on a default setting or a user preferred setting. For example, decreasing the size of the fields can increase the number of fields that can be displayed on the display area at a time. However, decreasing the field size might also require the item in the respective field to reduce in size. The default setting might be chosen based on an optimal size of the items required for viewing each item. - In an example, a list may consists of eight items each comprised in a field. If the height of each field is set at about one centimeter and the height of the display area is about five centimeters, the maximum number of fields that can be vertically displayed (one field below the other field) at a time may be five fields. Conversely, if the maximum number of fields that should be displayed at a time is set at about five, then the height of each field may be calculated as one centimeter based on the height of the display area which may be known to be about five centimeters. Further, each scroll operation increments the list by one field. Thus, two scrolls down the list will move the top two items (i.e., fields) in the list up and out of the display area such that fields in the order of three to seven are currently displayed on the display area. Now, the processor measures the order of the last field in the visible display area as seven and determines that the last field, i.e., the eighth field will be reached on the next scroll. Similarly, when the list is being scrolled all the way to the beginning, the processor measures the order of the first field displayed in the display area. For example, if the order of the first field displayed in the display area is five, the processor determines that there are four more fields to be scrolled for the beginning of the list (i.e., the first field) to be displayed. Once the processor detects that the list has been scrolled all the way to the extremities, and the scrolling operation continues further, a visual clue is provided to the user.
- In a preferred embodiment, the visual clue is provided by modifying the dimensions of a portion of the list or the last item of the list if the scrolling operation continues after the end-of-list is reached and bringing back the modified list to its original dimensions once the scrolling operation is terminated. In more detail, modifying the dimensions of the last item in the list includes modifying the dimensions of at least one object at the end of the list of objects. Here object refers to text, icon, graphics, image, picture, thumbnail, etc. used for representing an item or content. In an embodiment, at least one dimension of the last object representing an item is extended in a linear direction to give a visual effect as that of a stretched item.
- Referring to
FIGS. 3-5 ,FIG. 3 shows a vertically displayed list ofitems 125, where each item is represented by a string of characters called ‘text.’ The list as shown inFIG. 3 , represents the list as it would appear during no scrolling or during normal scrolling i.e., before the end or beginning of the list is reached.FIG. 4 illustrates the list as it would appear when the list is scrolled after the beginning of the list is reached. Theprocessor 150 detects that the list has been scrolled all the way to the beginning of the list based on determining that the first field having the first item is displayed on the display area. Upon detecting that the scrolling operation is performed even after the beginning of the list is reached, theprocessor 150 provides a visual clue to indicate that there are no more items to be scrolled and that the user needn't scroll further. The visual chic is provided as shown, by stretching the text (object) that represents the first item,item 1. Stretching an object refers to increasing at least one dimension of the object such as length, width, and thickness. For example, the length of the string of alphabets representing an item is increased, while maintaining the width of the string of alphabets constant. The object representing the first item is stretched along a direction up to a peak length of extension. The peak length can be a predefined length that defines the maximum linear extent up to which an object representing an item can be stretched in a particular direction. In an embodiment, the peak length is determined based on the intensity of the scrolling operation. The intensity of the scrolling operation is measured in terms of e.g., velocity or acceleration or the scrolling operation such that the peak length in the linear direction is proportional to the intensity of the scrolling operation. Once the object has been stretched to the peak length, the object is made to retract to its original dimensions. In another embodiment, the object can snap back to its original dimensions once the scrolling operation is terminated. In yet another embodiment, the stretched object can snap back to its original dimensions after the object is stretched to the peak length and remains stretched for a predetermined amount of time, say few seconds. - In another embodiment. as shown in
FIG. 5 , when theprocessor 150 detects that the beginning of the list is displayed and the scrolling operation continues, then aportion 127 of the list of items can be stretched along a single direction to provide a visual clue to the user. A portion of the list refers to a subset of the items in thelist 125. The number of items that define a subset can be predefined and preferably form the first few items at the beginning of the list. For example, when the list is scrolled to the beginning of the list, the first three objects representing the first three items can be stretched to provide the visual clue. At least one dimension of each of the first three objects is extended up to a peak length which is different from the peak length of extension for the other two objects. For example, the objects representing each of the three items are stretched to a decreasing order of peak lengths. In other words, a peak length of extension for the third item is less than a peak length of extension for the second item, whereas a peak length of extension for the second item is less than a peak length of extension for the first item. Stretching the subset of the list of items in such a manner provides a visual effect as that of a stretched elastic sheet. Similarly, when thelist 125 is scrolled to the end of the list, the last three objects can be stretched to provide the visual clue. The last three objects are stretched in a direction each up to varying peak lengths. - In another embodiment, instead of stretching an object or a subset of objects, the visual clue is provided by reducing the dimensions of a portion of the list or the last item of the list if the scrolling operation continues after the end-of-list is reached and snapping back to the original dimensions once the scrolling operation is terminated.
- In an embodiment, while the object representing an item in a field is being stretched, the size of the field is also adjusted in proportion to accommodate the object's new dimensions Due to the change in the field size of at least one object, the number of fields that can be displayed in the display area is also changed. Referring to
FIGS. 6 and 7 ,FIG. 6 shows an example of a list of thumbnails of images as it would appear during no-scrolling or normal scrolling. When the end of the list is reached and scrolling continues, a subset of the thumbnails at the end of the list is stretched to provide a visual clue. In order to accommodate the new dimensions of the stretched objects, the size of thefield 126, in this example, the length of thefield 126, is also extended in proportion to the stretched object in each field. However, as discussed earlier, the number of fields that can be displayed on the display area at a time depends on the size of each field and the size of the display area. Since the size of the display area is fixed, a change in the size of the field causes a change in the number of fields that can be displayed at a time. An increase in the dimensions of at least one field causes a decrease in the number of displayable fields. As shown inFIG. 7 , stretching a subset of fields at one extreme (right) of the list causes at least one field in the other extreme (left) or the list to be moved out of thedisplay area 120. -
FIG. 8 is a flowchart depicting a method for enhancing scrolling operation in a display device according to one embodiment. As discussed above, the display device detects 810 a scrolling operation on a list of objects. The scrolling operation is detected by receiving a user input via the user interface. As the list is being scrolled, the device determines 820 whether the list of objects is reaching an end. The device determines that the list is reaching an end by determining that at least one object at the end of the list will be displayed during the next scrolling operation. Also, the device determines that the list is reaching an end by determining that at least one object at the end of the list is already displayed on the display area during the scrolling operation. - In response to determining that the list is scrolled to an end, the device extends 830 at least one object at the end of the list of objects in the linear direction. In an embodiment, only one dimension of the at least one object is extended while keeping other dimensions of the at least one object unchanged. The device extends the at least One object up to a peak length in the linear direction. At 840, the device determines whether the at least one object has reached the peak length of extension and retracts 850 the at least one object in a reverse linear direction in response to reaching the peak length. In an embodiment, a predetermined quantity of objects at the end of the list of objects is extended in a linear direction. For example, the predetermined quantity can be one object. In another embodiment, the predetermined quantity of objects to be extended is a subset of objects at the end of the list of objects. An end of the list refers to the extremity of the list in the direction of scrolling e.g., upward. downward, right, and left. When a subset of the list of objects is extended, a peak length of each object of the subset of objects is in an increasing degree to each subsequent object in the subset.
- The method further includes measuring a intensity of the scrolling operation and determining the peak length of extension based on the measured intensity. In an embodiment, intensity of the scrolling operation is measured in terms of velocity and acceleration. For example, when the scrolling operation is measured to have a speed of ‘x’ meters/second, the peak length of extension can be 4 millimeters. When the scrolling operation is measured to have a speed of ‘y’ meters/second, where ‘y’ is less than ‘x,’ the peak length of extension can be two millimeters.
- After extending the at least one object to provide a visual effect of a stretched list, the device determines whether the scrolling operation has terminated. The device then retracts the at least one object in the reverse linear direction in response to determining that the scrolling operation has terminated. The at least one object is retracted back to the original length of the at least one object in the reverse linear direction. The at least one object had an original length before it was extended to the peak length. In an embodiment, the device retracts the at least one object to a reduced length which is less than the original length of the at least one object and, eventually, returns or brings back the at least one object to its original length, thereby, producing the visual effect of a stretched and released elastic sheet.
- In accordance with embodiments described above, the present invention optimizes all of the constraints presented in the problem statement.
