Systems and methods for navigating displayed content
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of navigating content on a computing device comprising:
- displaying content on the computing device at a first scale;
in response to receiving a first navigation input via the computing device, navigating a first discrete distance through the displayed content;
in response to receiving a second navigation input via the computing device i) initiating a continuous navigation through the content, and ii) reducing the scale of the content such that more of the content is displayed on the computing device at a time.

15. A method of navigating content on a computing device comprising:
-
displaying content on the computing device at a first scale;
in response to receiving a navigation input via the computing device, initiating a continuous navigation through the content, wherein the computing device progressively reduces the scale of the content from the first scale to a second scale during the continuous navigation; and
rearranging the contents of a display based on the scale at which the content is displayed. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A user interface for a computing device comprising:
-
an input device for accepting a plurality of navigational inputs; and
a navigation control module including finite state machine having states including;
a stop state, a single discrete navigation state, and a continuous navigation state, and transition conditions including;
acceptance of the navigational inputs from the input device, such that movement from one state to another in the finite state machine is initiated upon acceptance of one of the navigational inputs from the input device. wherein in the continuous navigation state, the user interface decreases the scale of content displayed on the computing device such that additional content can be displayed at a time. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39)
