First Claim
Patent Images
1. An interactive graphical display method comprising:
- invoking transistor-based circuitry configured to present a first stationary imageset in a first palette simultaneously with two or more other imagesets in said first palette in an interior of a first window;
invoking transistor-based circuitry configured to detect user action that includes one or more first image query gestures and that fully articulates a user preference for a first image over said two or more other imagesets in said first palette;
invoking transistor-based circuitry configured to present metadata relating to said first image of said first stationary imageset in response to said user action that includes said one or more first image query gestures and that fully articulates said user preference for said first image over said two or more other imagesets in said first palette;
invoking transistor-based circuitry configured to detect user action that includes a series of user-provided step gestures followed by an autoscroll gesture of said user action;
invoking transistor-based circuitry configured to present a second stationary imageset in a second palette simultaneously with two or more other imagesets in said second palette in said interior of said first window after moving from said first palette to said second palette in response to said series of user-provided step gestures until said autoscroll gesture is detected, whereupon one or more next imagesets are presented in an autoscroll mode originating from a palette scroll position that corresponds to said second stationary imageset;
invoking transistor-based circuitry configured to cause several palettes in a looped imageset sequence each to contain several imagesets, wherein said several palettes include said first and second palettes and wherein all of said images used in said several imagesets in said looped imageset sequence were obtained in a single image search result from a search engine based upon a search term entered into a search field;
invoking transistor-based circuitry configured to implement said autoscroll mode by incrementally autoscrolling forward in said looped imageset sequence;
invoking transistor-based circuitry configured to autoscroll forward incrementally again in said looped imageset sequence as a conditional response to a determination that no selection gesture was detected; and
presenting via a display screen of a mobile device an indication of toggling between said autoscroll mode and a static viewing mode as a conditional response to an imageset selection gesture at said mobile device.

Abstract
Methods and systems are presented for automatic image display systems and methods with looped autoscrolling or step scrolling modes (or both). Data configurations are also presented that allow an efficient arrangement of palettes that boosts autoscrolling performance and improves the users'"'"' experience without the need for major hardware enhancements.
