Navigating digital images using detail-in-context lenses
First Claim
1. A method of displaying image data, wherein the method comprises:
- causing a display of a first presentation on a computer screen of a first subset of the image data at a first magnification;
subsequent to said causing a display of a first presentation, receiving a panning signal at a processor;
in response to said receiving a panning signal, causing a display of a second presentation on the computer screen of a second subset of the image data at a second magnification, wherein the second subset of the image data is different than the first subset of the image data;
subsequent to said causing a display of a second presentation, receiving a first additional signal different from the panning signal at the processor; and
in response to said receiving the first additional signal, causing a display of a third presentation on the computer screen of the image data, wherein the third presentation of the image data includes;
a lens at a first location within the image data, wherein the lens includes a focal region including a portion of the second presentation of the image data presented at the second magnification, andwherein portions of the third presentation of the image data outside of the lens include;
image data included in the second presentation presented at a third magnification, which is less than the second magnification; and
image data not included in the second presentation presented at the third magnification.

Abstract
In an implementation, an appearance of lens is displayed on a display device for a selected region of an image to magnify the selected region of the image in comparison with a portion of the image outside of the appearance of the lens. A zoomed-in view of the image is displayed on the display device by increasing magnification of the portion of the image outside the appearance of the lens successively as an animation until the magnification of the portion of the image outside of the appearance of the lens corresponds with the magnification of the selected region of the image within the appearance of the lens, at which point the appearance of the lens is no longer displayed.

8. At least one non-transitory computer-readable device comprising instructions executable to cause a data processing system to:
-
cause a display of a first presentation of a first subset of image data at a first magnification; subsequent to causing a display of a first presentation, receive a panning signal; in response to receiving the panning signal, cause a display of a second presentation of a second subset of the image data at a second magnification, wherein the second subset of the image data is different than the first subset of the image data; subsequent to causing a display of a second presentation, receive a first additional signal different from the panning signal; and in response to receiving the first additional signal, cause a display of a third presentation of the image data, wherein the third presentation of the image data includes; a lens at a first location within the image data, wherein the lens includes a focal region including a portion of the second presentation of the image data presented at the second magnification, and wherein portions of the third presentation of the image data outside of the lens include; image data included in the second presentation presented at a third magnification, which is less than the second magnification; and image data not included in the second presentation presented at the third magnification. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A data processing system comprising a processor and memory including instructions that are executable by the processor to cause the data processing system to perform operations comprising:
-
causing a display of a first presentation of a first subset of image data at a first magnification; subsequent to said causing a display of a first presentation, receiving a panning signal; in response to said receiving the panning signal, causing a display of a second presentation of a second subset of the image data at a second magnification, wherein the second subset of the image data is different than the first subset of the image data; subsequent to said causing a display of a second presentation, receiving a first additional signal different from the panning signal; and in response to said receiving the first additional signal, causing a display of a third presentation of the image data, wherein the third presentation of the image data includes; a lens at a first location within the image data, wherein the lens includes a focal region including a portion of the second presentation of the image data presented at the second magnification, and wherein portions of the third presentation of the image data outside of the lens include; image data included in the second presentation presented at a third magnification, which is less than the second magnification; and image data not included in the second presentation presented at the third magnification. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
