Previewing portions of electronic documents
First Claim
1. A computer system comprising:
- a display;
a memory; and
one or more processing circuits communicatively coupled to the memory and to the display, wherein the one or more processing circuits are configured to;
direct the display to display a page within an electronic document, the page having a plurality of objects, each of the plurality of objects having a correlation with a respective one or more portions of a plurality of portions of the electronic document and each of the respective one or more portions of the plurality of portions of the electronic document having a correlation with a respective input gesture;
detect a first input gesture located within a predetermined distance of a first object of the plurality of objects;
determine that a first portion of the electronic document from the plurality of portions correlates with both the first object and the first input gesture;
direct the display to display the first portion of the electronic document in response to detecting the first input gesture within the predetermined distance of the first object;
detect a second input gesture located within the predetermined distance of the first object, wherein the second input gesture is distinct from the first input gesture and includes a different motion than the first input gesture;
determine that a second portion of the electronic document from the plurality of portions correlates with both the first object and the second input gesture, wherein the first portion includes at least one first element from the electronic document not included in the second portion and the second portion includes at least one second element from the electronic document not included in the first portion; and
direct the display to display the second portion of the electronic document in response to detecting the second input gesture within the predetermined distance of the first object.

Abstract
A computer device displays some amount of an electronic document which includes an object. The object correlates with both a first and second portion of the electronic document. The first and second portions are different. The device detects a first input gesture which is located within a predetermined distance of the object. The first portion is determined to correlate with both the object and the first input gesture. In response to determining this correlation, the first portion is displayed. After displaying the first portion, the device detects a second input gesture. The second input gesture is within the predetermined distance of the same object. The second input gesture includes a different motion than the first input gesture. The device determines that the second portion correlates with both the object and the second gesture. In response to this determination, the second portion is displayed.

9. A computer program product for previewing content in an electronic document, the computer program product disposed upon a computer readable storage medium, the computer program product comprising computer program instructions that, when executed by a computer processor of a computer, cause the computer to:
-
display a page within an electronic document, the page having a plurality of objects, each of the plurality of objects having a correlation with a respective one or more portions of a plurality of portions of the electronic document and each of the respective one or more portions of the plurality of portions of the electronic document having a correlation with a respective input gesture; detect a first input gesture located within a predetermined distance of a first object of the plurality of objects; determine that a first portion of the electronic document from the plurality of portions correlates with both the first object and the first input gesture; display the first portion of the electronic document in response to detecting the first input gesture within the predetermined distance of the first object; detect a second input gesture located within the predetermined distance of the first object, wherein the second input gesture is distinct from the first input gesture and includes a different motion than the first input gesture; determine that a second portion of the electronic document from the plurality of portions correlates with both the first object and the second input gesture, wherein the first portion includes at least one first element from the electronic document not included in the second portion and the second portion includes at least one second element from the electronic document not included in the first portion; and display the second portion of the electronic document in response to detecting the second input gesture. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)
