1. A method of navigating on a display, the method comprising:
- superimposing a viewing window on a page of information, wherein;
the page of information is larger than the viewing window, and the viewing window includes a screen real estate that reveals a subset of information on the page of information;
tracking coordinate information of an input tool outside the viewing window;
identifying a change in the coordinate information of the input tool;
receiving a single multiplier defined by a user; and
moving the viewing window relative to the page of information by a distance equal to the change in the coordinate information of the input tool multiplied by the single multiplier having a value other than one.

Abstract
Navigating on a display includes tracking coordinate information of an input tool on a display and moving a visible portion of a page of information on the display a distance equal to a change in the coordinate information of the input tool multiplied by a multiplier.

20. A method of navigating on a display, the method comprising:
-
storing a single multiplier directly defined by a user and used in generating an amount of movement to be imparted upon an object that is displayed in a display based upon an amount of movement experienced by an input tool outside of the display;
monitoring information relating to a location of the input tool;
identifying a change in the location of the input tool based on the monitored information;
accessing the stored single multiplier;
generating an amount of movement to be imparted upon the object based on an operation involving the accessed single multiplier and the identified change in location of the input tool; and
moving the object relative to the display by the generated amount of movement. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)

31. A method of navigating on a display, the method comprising:
-
superimposing a viewing window on a page of information, wherein;
the page of information is larger than the viewing window, and the viewing window includes a screen real estate that reveals a subset of information of the page of information;
tracking coordinate information of an input tool outside the viewing window;
identifying a change in the coordinate information of the input tool; and
moving the viewing window relative to the page of information by a distance equal to a change in the coordinate information of the input tool multiplied by a factor based on acceleration of the input tool. - View Dependent Claims (32, 33, 34, 35)
