First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of navigating on a display, the method comprising:
- tracking motion of an input tool on a display;
comparing a motion of the input tool to a threshold;
changing a position of the visible portion of a page of information on the display if the motion exceeds the threshold; and
constraining the position of the visible portion of the page of information on the display if the motion does not exceed the threshold.

Abstract
Navigating on a display includes tracking motion of an input tool on a display, comparing a motion of the input tool to a threshold, and changing a position of the visible portion of a page of information on the display if the input tool motion exceeds the threshold. The position of the visible portion of the page of information on the display is constrained if the motion does not exceed the threshold.

19. A method of navigating on a display, the method comprising:
-
tracking motion of a stylus on a display;
comparing a component of motion of the stylus on the display in one direction to a threshold; and
correcting a position of a page of information on the display if the motion in the one direction does not exceed the threshold. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23)

24. A method of navigating on a display, the method comprising:
-
tracking motion of a stylus in contact with a display surface;
comparing a component of motion of the stylus on the display surface in one direction to a threshold; and
repositioning a visible portion of a page of information on the display to an original position after the stylus is removed from the display surface if the component of motion in the one direction does not exceed the threshold. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)

31. A computer-readable medium on which are stored executable instructions for causing a computer system to:
-
track motion of a stylus in contact with a display surface of a device, the device having a processor operable to change a visible portion of a page of information on the display from a first page position by moving the stylus;
compare a component of motion of the stylus on the display surface in a first direction to a threshold; and
reposition the visible portion of the page of information on the display to a position corresponding to the first page position after the stylus is removed from the display surface if the component of motion does not exceed the threshold. - View Dependent Claims (32, 33, 34, 35)

36. A system for navigating on a display, the system comprising:
-
a stylus; and
a device with a display surface having a touchscreen and a processor operable to compare a horizontal motion of the stylus on the display surface to a threshold and reposition the visible portion of the page of information on the display to a first horizontal position after the stylus is removed from the display surface if the horizontal motion does not exceed the threshold. - View Dependent Claims (37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44)
