Abstract
A system and method is provided to display and interact with a plurality of items with text(s) and/or image(s) in a curve shaped area on a touch screen of an electronic device. In this invention, “finger” refers to either a human being finger or a stylus pen. Users may use a finger to vertically scroll through a curve items list to see all items that may not be once displayed on the touch screen with a limited size. Also, users may use a finger to tap a specific item to highlight and select it. Additionally, users may use a finger to swipe leftward or rightward a particular item. Furthermore, users may use 2 fingers to squeeze 2 different items, and all other items sandwiched by these 2 items if applicable, towards each other. Finally, the described technique can be used in an electronic device with keyboard and/or mouse, and users may use keyboard and/or mouse instead of finger to vertically scroll through a curve items list and select a specific item.
