1. A method, comprising:
- receiving, at a computing device, input indicating a user preference for magnification of content displayed at a first time in a user interface of the computing device;
identifying content displayed in the user interface that corresponds to the preference and designating the content as selected content;
identifying, based on the selected content and independent of proximity to the selected content in the user interface, a row heading element and a column heading element that are determined to provide context to the selected content, wherein the row heading element and the column heading element are not adjacent to the selected content in the user interface at the first time; and
displaying, at a later second time, a magnification area on the user interface of the computing device that includes a combination and arrangement of content comprising;
the selected content and the row heading element and the column heading element,wherein the row heading element and the column heading element are displayed in the magnification area with the same format and the same orientation relative to the selected content as the row heading element and the column heading element are displayed at the first time in the user interface,wherein display sizes of the selected content and the row heading element and the column heading element are increased within the magnification area, andwherein the combination and arrangement of content displayed in the magnification area are different from all contiguous areas of content that were displayed in the user interface at the first time.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for displaying a context-inclusive magnification area. In one aspect, a method can include receiving input indicating a user preference for magnification of content. Content that corresponds to the preference can be identified. One or more contextual content elements that are not adjacent to the selected content in the user interface and that are determined to provide context to the selected content can be identified. A magnification area on the user interface of the computing device that includes at least the selected graphical content and the one or more contextual content elements can be displayed.

1. A method, comprising:
-
receiving, at a computing device, input indicating a user preference for magnification of content displayed at a first time in a user interface of the computing device; identifying content displayed in the user interface that corresponds to the preference and designating the content as selected content; identifying, based on the selected content and independent of proximity to the selected content in the user interface, a row heading element and a column heading element that are determined to provide context to the selected content, wherein the row heading element and the column heading element are not adjacent to the selected content in the user interface at the first time; and displaying, at a later second time, a magnification area on the user interface of the computing device that includes a combination and arrangement of content comprising;
the selected content and the row heading element and the column heading element,wherein the row heading element and the column heading element are displayed in the magnification area with the same format and the same orientation relative to the selected content as the row heading element and the column heading element are displayed at the first time in the user interface, wherein display sizes of the selected content and the row heading element and the column heading element are increased within the magnification area, and wherein the combination and arrangement of content displayed in the magnification area are different from all contiguous areas of content that were displayed in the user interface at the first time. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 21)

12. A computer program product comprising a tangible and non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:
-
receiving, at a computing device, input indicating a user preference for magnification of content displayed at a first time in a user interface of the computing device; identifying content displayed in the user interface that corresponds to the preference and designating the content as selected content; identifying, based on the selected content and independent of proximity to the selected content in the user interface, a row heading element and a column heading element that are determined to provide context to the selected content, wherein the row heading element and the column heading element are not adjacent to the selected content in the user interface at the first time; and displaying, at a later second time, a magnification area on the user interface of the computing device that includes a combination and arrangement of content comprising;
the selected content and the row heading element and the column heading element,wherein the row heading element and the column heading element are displayed in the magnification area with the same format and the same orientation relative to the selected content as the row heading element and the column heading element are displayed at the first time in the user interface, wherein display sizes of the selected content and the row heading element and the column heading element are increased within the magnification area, and wherein the combination and arrangement of content displayed in the magnification area are different from all contiguous areas of content that were displayed in the user interface at the first time. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 22)

17. A system comprising:
-
a computing device; a touchscreen of the computing device to receive input indicating a user preference for magnification of content displayed at a first time on a user interface of the computing device; an input processing module to identify content displayed in the user interface that corresponds to the preference; a contextual element identifier to identify, based on the selected content and independent of proximity to the selected content in the user interface, a row heading element and a column heading element that are determined to provide context to the selected content, wherein the row heading element and the column heading element are not adjacent to the selected content in the user interface at the first time; and a magnification module to display, at a later second time, a magnification area on the user interface of the computing device that includes a combination and arrangement of content comprising;
the selected content and the row heading element and the column heading element,wherein the row heading element and the column heading element are displayed in the magnification area with the same format and the same orientation relative to the selected content as the row heading element and the column heading element are displayed at the first time in the user interface, wherein display sizes of the selected content and the row heading element and the column heading element are increased within the magnification area, and wherein the combination and arrangement of content displayed in the magnification area is different from all contiguous areas of content that were displayed in the user interface at the first time. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 23)
