Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of user interfaces that employ multi- touch sensitive display devices and more specifically to the field of user interfaces that enable scrolling through a list of displayed items.
  • US2008/0062141 discloses a method for browsing images stored on a portable electronic device having a display and a user input device.
  • the disclosed method comprises a) presenting an image browser that displays a plurality of images from a group of images b) transitioning through the group of images in accordance with at least one user input c) selecting one of the images from the group of images following said transitioning and d) subsequently performing an action associated with the selected image.
  • the browsing operation disclosed in US2008/0062141 would require more number of user interactions to browse through a long list of images and select a particular image.
  • the object of the present invention is realized by providing a method for processing a stored list of items, displaying a list of items requested by a user on a multi- touch sensitive display device and allowing the user to scroll through the displayed list of items and select a particular item, the method comprising determining a scroll resolution in response to touch inputs provided by the user, the touch inputs being associated with the displayed list of items, the scroll resolution determining the number of items to skip over in the displayed list of items while scrolling through the displayed list of items; and performing the scroll operation on the displayed list of items using the determined scroll resolution and enabling the user to select the particular item, the scroll operation being initiated in response to touch inputs provided by the user.
  • the number of items to be scrolled can be set by the user.
  • the scroll resolution set by the user determines the number of items to skip over in the displayed list of items while scrolling through the displayed list of items.
  • the disclosed method can reduce the time required to scroll through long list of items. As an illustrative example, let us assume there are 6 items in the displayed list and scrolling one item requires 1 second. Available scroll techniques scroll one item and hence to scroll through the displayed list 6 scroll operations would be required resulting in 6 seconds. On the other hand, let us assume that the user sets the scroll resolution as 3. Then using two scroll operations, the user can scroll completely through the list of displayed items. Two scroll operations would require 2 seconds. Hence, the disclosed method could reduce the time taken to scroll through the list of items by scroll resolution times when compared with a linear scroll operation. The disclosed method could be useful for processing long list of items.
  • the disclosed method i. is simple and user intuitive ii. could provide personalized scrolling experience to the user iii. requires less number of user interactions to scroll through the displayed list of items and select a particular item; the number of user interactions required could be a) one interaction to touch the first item b) one interaction to touch the second item c) one swipe interaction for initiating the scroll d) one touch input to select the particular item.
  • the number of user interactions required could be a) one interaction to touch the first item b) one interaction to touch the second item c) one swipe interaction for initiating the scroll d) one touch input to select the particular item.
  • 3 + x) user interactions are required to scroll through the complete list of items, wherein x represents the number of swipe operations to be performed depending on the total number of items in the list. It is also possible to touch the first item and the second item simultaneously using two fingers and hence setting the scroll resolution could require only one user interaction.
  • the disclosed method can perform a multi-item scroll operation wherein the items in the list can be moved based on the scroll resolution set by the user.
  • the scroll resolution determining step comprises detecting a first touch input associated with a first item in the displayed list of items and highlighting the first item; detecting a second touch input associated with a second item in the displayed list of items and highlighting the second item while holding the first item associated with the first touch input; and determining the scroll resolution as the number of items between the highlighted first item and the highlighted second item including the highlighted first item and the highlighted second item.
  • This embodiment has the advantage that the scroll resolution can be set by the user.
  • Setting of the scroll resolution is simple, user intuitive and requires minimal user interactions. Generally one user interaction (using two fingers and touching the first item and the second item simultaneously) or two user interaction (using only one finger and touching the first item and the second item one after the other) is required to set the scroll resolution.
  • the scroll resolution can be set based on the list size of displayed items and the size of the display screen. As an illustrative example, if the displayed list of items has less number of items e.g. 20 items, then the user can set a low scroll resolution (e.g. 4 or 5). On the other hand, if the displayed list of items has more number of items e.g. 500 items, then the user can set a high scroll resolution (e.g. 20 or 30) depending on the display screen size.
  • This embodiment allows the user to scroll (i.e. traverse) through long list of items in an accelerated manner whereby the items are skipped and not displayed.
  • this embodiment highlights the first item on receiving the first touch input. After selecting the first item the user can decide on the range of items to skip and then select the second item. Furthermore, all the items between the selected first item and the selected second item (including the selected first item and the selected second item) are highlighted and hence the set scroll resolution can be seen by the user.
  • the disclosed method could be useful for portable electronic devices.
  • the portable electronic device for example could be a) a computer (e.g. personal computer) b) Mobile phone (e.g. cell phone) c) Personal digital assistant d) Portable media player e) Camera f) Multi-media juke boxes
  • the portable electronic device may also be a multi-functional device that combines two or more of these device functionalities into a single device.
  • the method comprises detecting the first touch input in response to a first finger touch input associated with the first item in the displayed list of items and detecting the second touch input in response to a second finger touch input associated with the second item in the displayed list of items.
  • This embodiment has the advantage that there is no need for any additional input device for providing a touch input.
  • the user can make use of his fingers to select the first item and the second item.
  • the disclosed method can be used with the available multi-touch sensitive display devices.
  • the method comprises detecting a finger swipe touch input associated with the displayed list of items; and performing the scroll operation on the displayed list of items using the determined scroll resolution in response to the detection of the finger swipe touch input.
  • This embodiment enables the user to scroll through the list of displayed items using the set scroll resolution.
  • the user can simply swipe his finger across the touch sensitive display device to scroll (i.e. traverse) through the list of displayed items and select a particular item.
  • the user can use two fingers to swipe or use only one of his fingers. It is also possible for the user to swipe his finger on any area on the touch sensitive display. In other words the swipe may not be location dependent (i.e. may not be associated with the displayed list of items).

  • the finger swipe touch input could be accomplished with a vertical swipe input that initiates vertical scrolling.
  • the method comprises rendering the data associated with the selected particular item, the selection of the particular item by the user being initiated in response to a touch input associated with the particular item.
