Abstract

A device, method and system of displaying a file on a mobile communication device may comprise duplicating at least a leftmost part of a file to obtain a duplicated leftmost part of the file, and displaying a frame through moving a display window along the frame, the frame comprising a rightmost part of the file and the duplicated leftmost part of the file, wherein the duplicated leftmost part of the file is placed on right of the rightmost part of the file. In some embodiments, the mobile communication device may control the display window to automatically move to a leftmost side of the frame, if the display window moves to a rightmost side of the frame, and further in response to a user instruction of continuing viewing the file.

Claims

1. An apparatus, comprising:

one or more processors to implement;

a duplicating module to duplicate at least a leftmost part of a file to obtain a duplicated leftmost part of the file;

a displaying module to display a frame through moving a display window in a first direction along the frame, the frame comprising a rightmost part of the file and the duplicated leftmost part of the file, wherein the duplicated leftmost part of the file is placed on right of the rightmost part of the file; and

a movement control module to (i) calculate a position of a rightmost side of the frame where the duplicated leftmost part of the file ends, (ii) detect that the display window moved to the calculated position, and (iii) control, in response to the detection that the display window moved to the calculated position, the display window to automatically move in a second direction, opposite the first direction, until the display window is at a leftmost side of the frame to display the leftmost part of the file.

2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the movement control module is to control the display window to automatically move to the leftmost side of the frame without receiving a user instruction to move the display window in the second direction.

3. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the movement control module is to control the display window to automatically move to the leftmost side of the frame, further in response to a user instruction to move the display window in the first direction.

4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the duplicated leftmost part of the file is at least as wide as the display window.

5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the rightmost part of the file is at least as wide as the display window.

6. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the duplicating module is further to place a space or a mark between the rightmost part of the file and the duplicated leftmost part of the file.

7. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the duplicating module is further to move the duplicated leftmost part of the file up about one line before placing the duplicated leftmost part of the file on the right of rightmost part of the file.

8. A method, comprising:

duplicating at least a leftmost part of a file to obtain a duplicated leftmost part of the file;

displaying a frame through moving a display window in a first direction along the frame, the frame comprising a rightmost part of the file and the duplicated leftmost part of the file, wherein the duplicated leftmost part of the file is placed on right of the rightmost part of the file;

calculating a position of a rightmost side of the frame where the duplicated leftmost part of the file ends;

detecting that the display window moved to the calculated position; and

controlling in response to the detection that the display window moved to the calculated position, the display window to automatically move in a second direction, opposite the first direction, until the display window is at a leftmost side of the frame to display the leftmost part of the file.

9. The method of claim 8, further comprising controlling the display window to automatically move to the leftmost side of the frame without receiving a user instruction to move the display window in the second direction.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the controlling the display window to automatically move to the leftmost side of the frame is performed, further in response to a user instruction to move the display window in the first direction.

11. The method of claim 8, wherein the duplicated leftmost part of the file is at least as wide as the display window.

12. The method of claim 8, wherein the rightmost part of the file is at least as wide as the display window.

13. The method of claim 8, further comprising placing a space or a mark between the rightmost part of the file and the duplicated leftmost part of the file.

14. The method of claim 8, further comprising moving the duplicated leftmost part of the file up about one line before placing the duplicated leftmost part of the file on the right of rightmost part of the file.

15. One or more non-transitory machine readable storage media comprising a plurality of instructions that in response to being executed cause a computing device to:

duplicate at least a leftmost part of a file to obtain a duplicated leftmost part of the file;

display a frame through moving a display window in a first direction along the frame, the frame comprising a rightmost part of the file and the duplicated leftmost part of the file, wherein the duplicated leftmost part of the file is placed on right of the rightmost part of the file;

calculate a position of a rightmost side of the frame where the duplicated leftmost part of the file ends;

detect that the display window moved to the calculated position; and

control in response to the detection that the display window moved to the calculated position, the display window to automatically move in a second direction, opposite the first direction, until the display window is at a leftmost side of the frame to display the leftmost part of the file.

16. The non-transitory machine readable media of claim 15, further comprising a plurality of instructions that in response to being executed cause the computing device to control the display window to automatically move to the leftmost side of the frame without receiving a user instruction to move the display window in the second direction.

17. The non-transitory machine readable media of claim 16, wherein to control the display window to automatically move to the leftmost side of the frame is performed, further in response to a user instruction to move the display window in the first direction.

18. The non-transitory machine readable media of claim 15, wherein the duplicated leftmost part of the file is at least as wide as the display window.

19. The non-transitory machine readable media of claim 15, wherein the rightmost part of the file is at least as wide as the display window.

20. The non-transitory machine readable media of claim 15, further comprising a plurality of instructions that in response to being executed cause the computing device to place a space or a mark between the rightmost part of the file and the duplicated leftmost part of the file.

21. The non-transitory machine readable media of claim 15, further comprising a plurality of instructions that in response to being executed cause the computing device to move the duplicated leftmost part of the file up about one line before placing the duplicated leftmost part of the file on the right of rightmost part of the file.
