Techniques for displaying digital images on a display
First Claim
1. A machine-implemented method, comprising:
- displaying a set of items from a sequence of items that includes one or more undisplayed items that do not belong to said set of items;
wherein said set of items are displayed, in an arrangement that includes a plurality of lines, in an order that corresponds to said sequence;
receiving user input that selects a particular item from said set of items;
in response to said user input, determining whether the number of lines, in the plurality of lines, that precede the line containing the particular item is less than a first predetermined threshold;
in response to determining that the number of lines, in the plurality of lines, that precede the line containing the particular item is less than the first predetermined threshold, performing the steps ofcausing a line of undisplayed items that precede the set of items to be displayed, thereby producing a newly displayed line, andceasing to display a line of displayed items that follow said particular item;
wherein the method is performed by one or more computing devices.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for displaying digital images on a display is provided. A set of items from a sequence of items is displayed. The sequence of items includes one or more undisplayed items that do not belong to the set of items. The set of items are displayed, in an arrangement that includes a plurality of lines, in an order that corresponds to the sequence. In response to user input that selects a particular item from the set of items, it is determined whether the number of lines, in the plurality of lines, that precede the line containing the particular item is less than a first predetermined threshold. If that is the case, a line of undisplayed items that precede the set of items is displayed, while a line of displayed items that follow the particular item is ceased to be displayed.
