Method and apparatus for displaying additional information items
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An apparatus, comprising a processor and at least one memory that contains executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the apparatus to:
- display a visual representation of information items that comprises a first information item;
receive a continuous stroke input comprising a contact input, a movement input, and a release input, the contact input occurring at a contact input position such that the contact input position corresponds with a position of the first information item and the contact input position is different from a position of the release input;
determine a first set of at least one additional information item associated with the first information item, wherein number of additional information items of the first set is determined based on a distance between the contact input position and the position of the release input;
generate a first visual representation based at least in part on the first set; and
display the first visual representation, such that the first information item is at the contact input position while the first visual representation is at a position that is adjacent to the contact input position and the first visual representation overlays at least part of the visual representation of information items.

Abstract
An apparatus, that may include a processor configured to receive a touch input associated with a first information item, determine a first set of at least one additional information item associated with said first information item, based at least in part on said touch input, generate a first visual representation based at least in part on said first set, and display said first visual representation is disclosed. A corresponding method and computer-readable medium are also disclosed.

18. A method, comprising:
-
display a visual representation of information items that comprises a first information item; receiving a continuous stroke input comprising a contact input, a movement input, and a release input, the contact input occurring at a contact input position such that the contact input position corresponds with a position of the first information item and the contact input position is different from a position of the release input; determining a first set of at least one additional information item associated with the first information item, wherein number of additional information items of the first set is determined based on a distance between the contact input position and the position of the release input; generating a first visual representation based at least in part on the first set; and display the first visual representation, such that the first information item is at the contact input position while the first visual representation is at a position that is adjacent to the contact input position and the first visual representation overlays at least part of the visual representation of information items.

19. A non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with instructions that, when executed by a computer, perform:
-
display a visual representation of information items that comprises a first information item; receiving a continuous stroke input comprising a contact input, a movement input, and a release input, the contact input occurring at a contact input position such that the contact input position corresponds with a position of the first information item and the contact input position is different from a position of the release input; determining a first set of at least one additional information item associated with the first information item, wherein number of additional information items of the first set is determined based on a distance between the contact input position and the position of the release input; generating a first visual representation based at least in part on the first set; and display the first visual representation, such that the first information item is at the contact input position and while the first visual representation is at a position that is adjacent to the contact input position and the first visual representation overlays at least part of the visual representation of information items.
