Predictive scrolling
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for graphically displaying database records on a display screen with limited display area, the method comprising:
- displaying a plurality of database records from a first perspective, a first subset of the plurality of database records at least partially obscured by a first record; and
responsive to a user input, animating the display to scroll through the database records;
determining a final record from the plurality of database records to display at a conclusion of the scrolling before the scrolling comes to the conclusion;
rendering an image comprising a graphical representation of a set of data corresponding to the final record before the scrolling comes to the conclusion; and
responsive to the conclusion of the scrolling, receiving the rendered image and displaying the rendered image such that the rendered image obscures at least partially a final subset of the plurality of database records.

Abstract
A system and a method are disclosed for effectively displaying database records on a device having a display area that is small compared to the underlying data being represented. A simulated catalogue is displayed with cards associated with database records. Detailed information is presented for a record on a card obscuring information related to other records. A user is allowed to swipe on the catalogue causing simulated movement of the cards thereby displaying information associated with a database record previously obscured. The catalogue is moved with an initial velocity determined by the speed of swiping and decelerated based on a drag factor until it comes to a stop and displays information for the record reached. The ability to determine the final record displayed when the catalogue stops allows pre-fetching of the data associated with the record.

14. A system for graphically displaying database records on a display screen with limited display area, the system comprising:
-
a computer processor; and a computer-readable storage medium storing computer program modules configured to execute on the computer processor, the computer program modules comprising; an input/output driver module configured to; display a plurality of database records from a first perspective, a first subset of the plurality of database records at least partially obscured by a first record; and responsive to a user input, animate the display to scroll through the database records; determine a final record from the plurality of database records to display at a conclusion of the scrolling before the scrolling comes to the conclusion; render an image comprising a graphical representation of a set of data corresponding to the final record before the scrolling comes to the conclusion; and responsive to the conclusion of the scrolling, receive the rendered image and displaying the rendered image such that the rendered image obscures at least partially a final subset of the plurality of database records. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)
