First Claim
Patent Images

1. A method comprising:

  • receiving, by a computing machine that displays page images, an indication from a user to stop scrolling through a sequence of the page images when the user views a target location of a page image in the sequence in the page images that the user wants to stop based on an interestingness of the target location to the user, wherein the indication corresponds to an actual stopping location of the computing machine in the sequence of page images that is past the target location due to a reaction time of the user and a display speed of the sequence of images;

    determining, by the computing machine, an interestingness score of each of the page images within a predetermined range prior to the actual stopping location by comparing one or more other page images proximally located to the page image, the interestingness score based on occurrences of graphical features on the page images and distinction of graphical features on each page from graphics features on the proximally-located one or more other page images;

    determining, by the computing machine, the target location based on the display speed of the sequence of images, the user reaction time, and the determined interestingness scores of the page images proximally-located previous to the actual stopping location; and

    automatically jumping, by the computing machine, to the target location in order to display to the user the page image at which the user intended to stop.
