Previewing portions of electronic documents
First Claim
1. A method of previewing electronic documents on a computing device, the method comprising:
- displaying a page within an electronic document, the page having a plurality of objects, wherein a first object of the plurality of objects correlates with both a first portion of the electronic document and a second portion of the electronic document, wherein the first portion and the second portion are different, wherein the first portion of the electronic document and the second portion of the electronic document each have a correlation with a respective input gesture;
detecting a first input gesture located within a predetermined distance of the first object;
determining that the first portion of the electronic document correlates with both the first object and the first input gesture;
displaying the first portion of the electronic document in response to detecting the first input gesture within the predetermined distance of the first object;
detecting a second input gesture located within the predetermined distance of the first object, wherein the second input gesture is distinct from the first input gesture and includes a different motion than the first input gesture;
determining that the second portion of the electronic document correlates with both the first object and the second input gesture, wherein the first portion includes at least one first element from the electronic document not included in the second portion and the second portion includes at least one second element from the electronic document not included in the first portion; and
displaying the second portion of the electronic document in response to detecting the second input gesture within the predetermined distance of the first object.

Abstract
A computer device displays some amount of an electronic document which includes an object. The object correlates with both a first and second portion of the electronic document. The first and second portions are different. The device detects a first input gesture which is located within a predetermined distance of the object. The first portion is determined to correlate with both the object and the first input gesture. In response to determining this correlation, the first portion is displayed. After displaying the first portion, the device detects a second input gesture. The second input gesture is within the predetermined distance of the same object. The second input gesture includes a different motion than the first input gesture. The device determines that the second portion correlates with both the object and the second gesture. In response to this determination, the second portion is displayed.
