Zoom view mode for digital content including multiple regions of interest
First Claim
1. A device, comprising:
- a display for displaying paginated digital content including multiple regions of interest to a user; and
a user interface including a zoom view mode, wherein in response to a zoom command, the zoom view mode is configured to zoom in on a region of interest on the current page of content, and wherein in response to a shift command, the zoom view mode is further configured to shift to another region of interest along a shift path of motion having a non-constant speed defined by an easing function, the easing function defined by one of a sinusoidal, exponential, and bouncing formula, and the easing function further defined by one of an ease-in, ease-out, and ease-in-out curve.

Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for a zoom view mode for use with digital content including multiple regions of interest. Regions of interest may include portions of viewable digital content (e.g., panels of a comic book). In some cases, the mode may be invoked using a zoom command (e.g., double tap) to zoom in on a region of interest. After the mode has been invoked, the user may shift from one region of interest to another using a shift command (e.g., swipe), along a shift path of motion. The shift path of motion may have a non-constant speed and/or non-linear shape (e.g., arc-shaped). In some cases, the shift path of motion speed may be defined by a non-linear easing function curve. In some cases, the mode may be configured to present an entire page when first shifting to a region of interest on that page, to provide overall context to the user.

15. A mobile computing device, comprising:
-
a touch screen display for displaying content including multiple regions of interest to a user and allowing user input; and a user interface including a zoom view mode, wherein in response to a zoom command, the zoom view mode is configured to zoom in on a region of interest on the current page of content along an invoke mode path of motion, and wherein in response to a shift command, the zoom view mode is further configured to shift to another region of interest along a shift path of motion having a speed defined by a non-linear easing function curve, the easing function defined by one of a sinusoidal, exponential, and bouncing formula, and the easing function further defined by one of an ease-in, ease-out, and ease-in-out curve. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)

18. A non-transitory computer program product comprising a plurality of instructions encoded thereon to facilitate operation of an electronic device according to the following process:
-
in response to a zoom command performed on a displayed page of digital content including multiple regions of interest, invoke a zoom view mode and zoom in on a region of interest on the page; and in response to a shift command performed while the zoom view mode is invoked, shift to another region of interest along a shift path of motion having a non-constant speed defined by an easing function, the easing function defined by one of a sinusoidal, exponential, and bouncing formula, and the easing function further defined by one of an ease-in, ease-out, and ease-in-out curve. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
