SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIA FOR INTEGRATING A FIT-TO-SIZE SCALE FACTOR IN A SEQUENCE OF SCALE FACTORS
First Claim
1. A method for integrating a fit-to-size scale factor in a sequence of scale factors, the method comprising:
- identifying a size of a display window;
identifying an original size of information to display;
identifying a sequence of scale factors;
determining, from the identified size of the display window and the identified original size of the information, a fit-to-size scale factor; and
integrating the determined fit-to-size scale factor in the identified sequence of scale factors.

Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for integrating a fit-to-size scale factor in a sequence of scale factors. A fit-to-size scale factor can be determined based on original dimensions of information to be displayed and on dimensions of a window in which to display the information. The determined fit-to-size scale factor can be integrated in a listing of scale factors such that when a user steps through the sequence of scale factors, the user can select from the sequence the fit-to-size scale factor with which to display the information. In some cases, a auto-resize mode can be seamlessly enabled such that the information may automatically scale to its fit-to-size scale factor when the window is re-sized.

10. An electronic device comprising:
-
a display; an input interface; and control circuitry operative to; provide a window on the display in which to display information; display the information using an initial scale factor in the window; receive an input from the input interface to step to a next scale factor in a sequence of scale factors; determine that a fit-to-size scale factor associated with the window and with the information is between the initial scale factor and the next scale factor; and display the information using the fit-to-size scale factor in the window. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method for iterating through a sequence of scale factors, the method comprising:
-
displaying information in a window using an initial scale factor; receiving an instruction to change the initial scale factor to a next scale factor of a sequence of scale factors; determining that the next scale factor comprises a fit-to-size scale factor; and associating an auto-resize mode with the information in response to determining that the next scale factor comprises the fit-to-size scale factor. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)

20. A computer-readable medium for integrating a fit-to-size scale factor in a sequence of scale factors, the computer-readable medium comprising computer program logic recorded thereon for:
-
identifying a size of a display window; identifying an original size of information to display; identifying a sequence of scale factors describing a scale at which information is displayed, wherein the sequence of scale factors is stepped through in response to receiving an instruction; determining, from the identified size of the display window and the identified original size of the information, a fit-to-size scale factor; and integrating the determined fit-to-size scale factor in the identified sequence of scale factors.
