Abstract
Systems, methods, and devices for displaying visual information on an electronic display are provided. For example, rather than requiring a user to manually pan and zoom across visual information displayed on an electronic display, an electronic device may automatically display certain details of the visual information that are of interest to the user. One such method may include defining objects in visual information and detecting certain specific touch input gestures entered on the electronic display while the electronic display is displaying the visual information. When the touch input gestures are detected, the electronic device may automatically display a sequence of the objects of the visual information on the electronic display.

6. An electronic device comprising:
-
memory configured to store data associated with visual information, wherein the visual information includes a plurality of objects identified in the visual information; a display configured to display the visual information at varying levels of detail and to detect a touch input gesture; and a processor configured to control the display such that, when the display detects the touch input gesture, the display displays a sequence of the plurality of objects in greater detail. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. An article of manufacture comprising:
one or more tangible, machine-readable storage media having instructions encoded thereon for execution by a processor, the instructions comprising; instructions for identifying objects in visual information; instructions for causing the visual information to be displayed on a display; instructions for determining at least one touch input gesture on the display while the visual information is being displayed, wherein the at least one touch input gesture comprises a swipe; instructions for determining a directional path of the swipe; instructions for determining which of the objects are intersected by the directional path; and instructions for causing the identified objects that are intersected by the directional path to be displayed on the display in sequence and in greater detail. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. An electronic device comprising:
-
a display configured to display an image and to detect a touch input gesture that includes a directional swipe gesture across the image, wherein metadata associated with the image identifies a plurality of objects located within the image; and a processor configured to determine a direction vector across the image based at least in part on the directional swipe gesture, to compare the metadata to the direction vector to determine which of the plurality of objects that are intersected by the direction vector, and to cause the display to pan across the image and to zoom in on each of the plurality of objects that are intersected by the direction vector. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
