NAVIGATION OF LIST ITEMS ON PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICES
First Claim
1. A portable electronic device having a processor, a display, and a computer readable storage medium containing instructions, when executed by the processor, causing the processor to perform a method comprising:
- displaying one or more items in a list on the display;
monitoring a rendering characteristic of the one or more displayed items;
detecting user intention to visit other items in the list based on the monitored rendering characteristic; and
when the user intention to visit other items is detected, displaying a group directory on the display, the group directory having one or more interface representations each individually corresponding to a subset of items in the list.

In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a user navigation input to a list of messages displayed on the portable electronic device and detecting user intention to access additional messages in the list based on the received user navigation input. If the user intention is detected, displaying one or more interface representations on the display. Each of the interface representations corresponds to a subset of messages in the list.

16. A computer readable storage medium containing instructions, when executed by a processor, causing the processor to perform a method comprising:
-
displaying a plurality of text messages in a list on a display operatively coupled to the processor; receiving a user navigation input to the displayed list of messages; adjusting display of the messages based on the user navigation input; determining a rendering characteristic of the adjusted display of the messages; detecting user intention to access additional messages in the list based on the determined rendering characteristic; when the user intention is detected, displaying a previously hidden list header of the list of messages; receiving a user input to the displayed list header; in response to the received user input, displaying a group directory on the display, the group directory having one or more interface representations individually corresponding to a subset of messages in the list. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
