TECHNICAL FIELD
[0004]
The disclosed embodiments relate generally to devices with touch-screen
displays , and more particularly to scrolling lists and to translating electronic documents on
devices with touch-screen displays.
063266-5054

SAMNDCA00001555
BACKGROUND
As portab1e e1ectronic devices become more compact, and the number of
[0005]
functions performed by a given device increases, it has become a significant challenge to
design a user interface that allows users to easi1y interact with a multifunction device. This
challenge is particu1ar1 y significant for handhe1d portable devices , which have much smaller
screens than desktop or 1aptop computers. This situation is unfortunate because the user
interface is the gateway through which users receive not on1y content but a1so responses to
user actions or behaviors , inc1uding user attempts to access a device’ s features , to01s , and
functions.
Some portab1e communication devices (e.g. , mobi1e te1ephones , sometimes
called mobi1e phones , cell phones , cellu1ar te1ephones , and the 1ike) have resorted to adding
more pushbuttons, increasing the density of push buttons , over1 oading the functions of
pushbuttons, or using comp1ex menu systems to allow a user to access , store and manipu1ate
data.
These conventional user interfaces often result in comp1icated key sequences and
menu hierarchies that must be memorized by the user.
[0006]
Many conventiona1 user interfaces , such as those that inc1ude physica1
pushbuttons , are a1so inflexib1e. This is unfortunate because it may prevent a user interface
from being configured and/or adapted by either an application running on the portab1e
device or by users.
When coup1ed with the time consuming requirement to memorÍ ze
multip1e key sequences and menu hierarchies , and the difficu1ty in activating a desired
pushbutton, such inflexibi1ity is frustrating to most users.
[0007]
As a result of the small size of disp1ay screens on portab1e e1ectronic devices
and the potentially 1arge size of e1ectronic fi1es , frequen t1 y on1y a portion of a list or of an
electronic document of interest to a user can be disp1ayed on the screen at a given time.
Users thus w i11 frequent1y need to scroll disp1ayed 1ists or to trans1ate disp1ayed e1ectronic
documents.
However, the 1imitations of conventiona1 user interfaces can cause these
actions to be awkward to perform.
[0008]
Furthermore , scrolling disp1ayed 1ists and trans1ating e1ectronic documents
can be awkward on both portab1e and non-portab1e e1ectronic devices with touch-screen
disp1ays. A user may become frustrated if the scrolling or trans1ation does not reflect the
user’ s intent.
063266-5054

SAMNDCA00001556
[0009]
Accordingly, there is a need for devices with touch-screen displays with
more transparent and intuitive user interfaces for scrolling lists of items and for translating
electronic documents that are easy to use , configure , and/or adapt.
SUMMARY
[0010]
The above deficiencies and other problems associated with user interfaces

SAMNDCA00001561
[0033]
Embodiments of a portable multifunction device , user interfaces for such
devices , and associated processes for using such devices are described.
In some
embodiments , the device is a portable communications device such as a mobile telephone
that also contains other functions , such as PDA and/or music player functions.
[0034]
The user interface may include a physical click wheel in addition to a touch
screen or a virtual click wheel displayed on the touch screen. A click wheel is a userinterface device that may provide navigation commands based on an angular displacement
of the wheel or a point of contact with the wheel by a user of the device. A click wheel may
also be used to provide a user command corresponding to selection of one or more items ,
for example, 、κrhen the user of the device presses down on at least a portion of the wheel or
the center ofthe whee1. Altematively, breaking contact with a click wheel image on a touch
screen surface may indicate a user command corresponding to selection. For simplicity, in
the discussion that follows , a portable multifunction device that includes a touch screen is
used as an exemplary embodiment. It should be understood , however, that some of the user
interfaces and associated processes may be applied to other devices , such as personal
computers and laptop computers , that may include one or more other physical user-interface
devices , such as a physical click wheel, a physical keyboard , a mouse and/or a joystick.
[0035]
The device supports a variety of applications , such as a telephone
application, a video conferencing application, an e-mail application.aninstant messaging
application, a blogging application, a digital camera application , a digital video camera
application, a web browsing application , a digital music player application, and/or a digital
video player application.
[0036]
The various applications that may be executed on the device may use at least
one common physical user-interface device , such as the touch screen. One or more
functions of the touch screen as well as corresponding information displayed on the device
may be adjusted and/or varied from one application to the next and/or within a respective
application. In this way , a common physical architecture (such as the touch screen) of the
device may support the variety of applications with user interfaces that are intuitive and
transparent.
[0037]
The user interfaces may include one or more soft keyboard embodiments.
The soft keyboard embodiments may include standard (QWERTY) and/or non-standard
063266-5054
8
SAMNDCA00001562
configurations of symbols on the displayed icons of the keyboard, such as those described in
U.S. Patent Applications 111459,606 (Keyboards For Portable Electronic Devices , filed July
24 , 2006) and 11/459 ,615 (Touch Screen Keyboards For Portable Electronic Devices , filed
July 24 , 2006) , the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. The keyboard
embodiments may include a reduced number of icons (or soft keys) relative to the number
of keys in existing physical keyboards , such as that for a typewriter. This may make it
easier for users to select one or more icons in the keyboard , and thus , one or more
corresponding symbols.
The keyboard embodiments may be adaptive.
For example ,
displayed icons may be modified in accordance with user actions , such as selecting one or
more icons and/or one or more corresponding symbols. One or more applications on the
portable device may utilize common and/or different keyboard embodiments.
Thus, the
keyboard embodiment used may be tailored to at least some of the applications. In some
embodiments , one or more keyboard embodiments may be tailored to a respective user. For
example , based on a word usage history (lexicography, slang, individual usage) of the
respective user.
Some of the keyboard embodiments may be adjusted to reduce a
probability of a user error when selecting one or more icons , and thus one or more symbols ,
when using the soft keyboard embodiments.
[0038]

[0046]
The touch-sensitive display system 112 provides an input interface and an
output interface between the device and a user. The display controller 156 receives and/or
sends electrical signals fro m/to the display system 112. The display system 112 displays
visual output to the user. The visual output may include graphics , text, icons , video , and
any combination thereof (collectively termed
갱raphics").
In some embodiments , some or
all ofthe visual output may correspond to user-interface objects , further details ofwhich are
described below.
[0047]
A touch screen in display system 112 is a touch-sensitive surface that accepts
input from the user based on haptic and/or tactile contac t. The display system 112 and the
display controller 156 (along with any associated modules and/or sets of instructions in
memory 102) detect contact (and any movement or breaking ofthe contact) on the display
system 112 and converts the detected contact into interaction with user-interface objects
(e.g. , one or more soft keys , icons , web pages or images) that are displayed on the touch
screen.
In an exemplary embodiment, a point of contact between a touch screen in the
display system 112 and the user corresponds to a finger ofthe user.
[0048]
The touch screen in the display system 112 may use LCD (liquid crystal
display) technology , or LPD (light emitting polymer display) technology , although other
display technologies may be used in other embodiments. The touch screen in the display
system 112 and the display controller 156 may detect contact and any movement or
breaking thereof using any of a plurality of touch sensing technologies now known or later
developed , including but not limited to capacitive , resistive , infrared, and surface acoustic
wave technologies, as well as other proximity sensor arrays or other elements for
determining one or more points of contact with a touch screen in the display system 112. A
touch-sensitive display in some embodiments of the display system 112 may be analogous
to the multi-touch sensitive tablets described in the following U.S. Patents: 6 ,323 ,846
(Westerman et a1.), 6 ,570 ,557 (Westerman et a1.), and/or 6 ,677 ,932 (Westerman) , and/or
U.S. Patent Publication 2002/0015024Al , each of which is hereby incorporated by
reference. However, a touch screen in the display system 112 displays visual output from
063266-5054
12
SAMNDCA00001566
the portable device 100, whereas touch sensitive tablets do not provide visual output. The
touch screen in the display system 112 may have a resolution in excess of 100 dpi. In an
exemplary embodiment, the touch screen in the display system has a resolution of
approximately 168 dpi. The user may make contact with the touch screen in the display
system 112 using any suitable object or appendage , such as a stylus , a finger , and so forth.
In some embodiments, the user interface is designed to work primarily with finger-based
contacts and gestures , which are much less precise than stylus-based input due to the larger
area of contact of a finger on the touch screen. In some embodiments , the device translates
the rough finger-based input into a precise pointer/cursor position or command for
performing the actions desired by the user.

As discussed above , UI 400 rnay display all of the available applications 136
on one screen so that there is no need to scroll through a list of applications. However, in
063266-5054

SAMNDCA00001578
some embodiments a touch-sensitive display may include a GUI with one or more windows
that display only a portion of a list ofitems (e.g. , information items) or of an electronic
document. In response to detecting a movement of an object on or near the touch-sensitive
display, the list may be scrolled or the electronic document may be translated. Detecting the
movement of the
0비 ect
may include determining speed (magnitude) , velocity (magnitude
and direction) , and/or an acceleration (including magnitude and/or direction) ofthe object.
Scrolling through the list or translating the document may be accelerated in response to an
accelerated movement ofthe object. In some embodiments , the scrolling and acceleration
of the scrolling , or translation and acceleration of the translation, may be in accordance with
a simulation of a physical device having friction , i.e. , damped motion. For example , the
scrolling or translation may correspond to a simulation of a force law or equation of motion
having a mass or inertial term , as well as a dissipative term. In some embodiments, the
simulation may correspond to a cylinder rotating about its axis.
[0094]
In some embodiments, accelerated movement ofthe detected object may
include an accelerated movement of a point of contact followed by a breaking of the point
of contact. For example, the user may make contact with the touch-sensitive display , swipe
or sweep one or more ofhis or her fingers along the display (i.e. , move and/or accelerate the
point of contact) , and optionally, break the point of contact with the display , i.e. , move the
one or more fingers away from the display. The swipe or sweep may be along a predefined
axis of the touch-sensitive display or may be within a predetermined angle of a predefined
direction on the touch-sensitive display. In other embodiments , the accelerated movement
of the point of contact may include a first user gesture oriented along a predefined axis of
the touch-sensitive display or oriented within a predetermined angle of a predefined
direction on the touch-sensitive display.
[0095]
Scrolling through the list of items or translating the electronic document may
be further accelerated in response to detection of a second movement of an object on or near
the touch-sensitive display , such as a second sweeping motion ofthe point of contact along
the predefined axis or within the predetermined angle of a predefined direction on the
touch-sensitive display and/or a second user gesture oriented along the predefined axis or
within the predetermined angle of a predefined direction on the touch-sensitive display. For
example , the user may swipe one or more of his or her :f gers along the touch-sensitive
m
display two or more times.
063266-5054
25
SAMNDCA00001579
[0096]
The scrolling through the list of items or the translation of the electronic
document may be stopped in accordance with the user breaking the point of contact and
then establishing a substantially stationary point of contact with the touch-sensitive display
for at least a pre-determined period oftime. For example , after swiping one or more ofhis
or her fingers along the touch-sensitive display and breaking the point of contact, the user
may touch the display and hold the one or more fingers that are touching the display
stationary (or approximately stationary) for one or more seconds , or fractions of a second.
[0097]
The direction of scrolling or translation may be reversed in response to
intersecting a virtual boundary corresponding to a terminus of the list or an edge of the
electronic document. The scrolling reversal or translation reversal may correspond to a
damped motion. For example , during scrolling , a displayed portion ofthe list ofitems may
appear to bounce off of a boundary of the window in the touch-sensitive display when a
beginning or an end of the list of items is reached. Similarly, during translation, a displayed
portion of the electronic document may appear to bounce off of a boundary of the window
in the touch-sensitive display when an edge of the document is reached. The apparent
bounce may correspond to a simulation of a viscous or elastic ball having momentum in a
first direction striking an immovable an dJor inelastic object, such as a wal 1. The subsequent
motion ofthe document (the motion ofwhich corresponds to the ball in the aforementioned
analogy) may be damped , for example , by including a friction or dissipative term in the
simulation. A parameter corresponding to the friction term in the simulation may be
ac낀 ustable ,
allowing the document to reach equilibrium in contact with the virtual boundary,
or displaced from the virtual boundary.
[0098]
In some embodiments movement ofthe point of contact by the user over an
index on the touch-sensitive display may be determined. In some embodiments , the index
may be displayed in a first region or a first window of the touch-sensitive display while the
list of items or information items during the scrolling may be displayed in a second region
or a second window ofthe touch-sensitive display. The displayed index may have a
sequence of index items. In an exemplary embodiment, the sequence of index items may
include letters in the alphabet, i.e. , the index may include an alphabetical index. The list of
informatio
063266-5054
26
SAMNDCA00001580
[0099]
In response to movement ofthe user ’ s point of contact over a displayed
index , the list of information items on the touch-sensitive display may be scrolled. The list
of information items may include a sequence of information item subsets corresponding to
the sequence of index items. The subsets may include one or more categories. For
example , a respective category may include contact information for one or more individuals
whose first and/or last names begin with one or more respective letters , such as the letter ‘ s ’ .
In an exemplary embodiment, there is a subset corresponding to each letter in the alphabet
that has one or more entries. In some embodiments , the scrolling may be in accordance
with a simulation of an equation of motion having
[00100]
퍼ction.
The scrolling may include scrolling through a respective information item
subset if the point of contact moves over a corresponding respective index item in the index
items. The scrolling may have an associated scroll speed based on a speed of movement of
the point of contact over the respective index item and the number of items in the
information item subset corresponding to the respective index item. For example , the scroll
speed may be faster for subsets that have more entries than subsets with fewer entries. The
scrolling may include scrolling through all items in a plurality of the information item
subsets in response to the point of contact moving over the corresponding index items in the
displayed index.
[00101]
If it is determined that the point of contact with the index corresponds to a
respective index item in the index , the list of information items may be scrolled to a
corresponding subset ofthe list ofinformation items. For example , ifthe user selects an
index item, such as the letter ‘ R ’, in the set of index symbols , the list of items may be
smoothly scrolled to the corresponding subset for the letter ‘ R ’ in the list of items.
Altematively, the displayed list of information items jump directly from a current scroll
position to a scroll position in which information items corresponding to the index item ‘ R ’
are displayed.
[00102]
Ifthe point of contact with the touch-sensitive display corresponds to a user
selection of a respective information item in the list of information items , information
corresponding to the respective information item may be displayed on the touch-sensitive
display. For example, ifthe user selects a respective name , the corresponding contact
information may be displayed.
063266-5054
27
SAMNDCA00001581
While scrolling through respective information subsets , an index symbol
[00103]
may displayed in conjunction with each respective information item subset. In some
embodiments , respective index symbols may be displayed adjacent to corresponding subsets
(such as displayed text) ofthe list ofinformation items. In some embodiments , a respective
index symbol may be displayed at an upper edge of a window containing the displayed text
of the respective information item subset.
[00104]
The index symbol corresponding to a respective information subset may be
translucently displayed over the respective information item subset. The translucently
displayed index symbol may have a different font color than that used to display text in the
information item subset, and/or it may be displayed using a larger font than the font used to
display text in the information item subset.
[00105]
If the list of information items contains no items for a particular index
symbol , i.e. , no entries for a particular subset, a first index symbol preceding a particular
index symbol and a second index symbol following the index symbol may be displayed in
co며 unction
with scrolling through the list of information items from the information subset
corresponding to the first index symbol to the information subset corresponding to the
second index symbo 1. The particular index symbol may not be displayed in conjunction
with the displayed text of the list of information items during the scroll through. For
example , display of a respective index symbol may be skipped when the list of information
items contains no items for the particular index symbo1.
[00106]
In some embodiments , the list scrolling described here operates without
displaying a scroll bar. Similarly, in some embodiments , the translation of electronic
documents described here operates without displaying scroll bars. The user ’ s sweepmg
motion on the touch-sensitive display operation may be performed directly on top of the
displayed list or displayed electronic document , and may include a sweeping or gliding
motion, near or in contact with the display ’ s surface , along a path anywhere within a display
window in which the list or electronic document is displayed. While a scroll bar could
potentially be displayed in
co며 unction
with the displayed list, the scrolling or translation
described here can be independent of any such scroll bar. In some embodiments , if a scroll
bar is used , then an upward movement of a point of contact on the scroll bar may cause
063266-5054
28
SAMNDCA00001582
earlier entries in the list to be displayed , whereas a downward movement of the point of
contact on the scroll bar may cause later entries in the list to be displayed.
In some embodiments, scrolling or translation may be in accordance with a
[00107]
speed of movement of a detected object, such as a speed of movement of a point of contact.
The speed may be a time average of values determined during several time intervals. In an
exemplary embodiment, the speed, velocity and/or acceleration may be determined over
five time intervals , where a respective time interval corresponds to an inverse of a frame
rate , such as 0.0167 s , of a display. In some embodiments , the speed, velocity and/or
acceleration may be determined even when a variable frame rate is used, such as when one
or more frames are skipped or not displayed. In these embodiments , the speed, velocity,
and/or acceleration may be determined two or more times for the respective time interval
and/or may be projected based on values determined in a preceding and/or a subsequent
time interva1.
In some embodiments, the scrolling or translation after a user optionally
[00108]
breaks the contact may be in accordance with the change in the acceleration and the speed
or the velocity in one or more time intervals prior to the breaking ofthe contact. For
example , the velocity Vf of scrolling or translation one or more time intervals after breaking
contact may be determined using
l ’';-
where
Vo
=vo + α8t,
is a current value of the velocity when the contact is broken, a is a current value of
the acceleration when the contact is broken and 8t is an elapsed time , such as one time
interval. The velocities and/or acceleration in such a calculation may be projected along an
axis or direction of the scrolling or translation. In some embodiments , in subsequent time
intervals following the determination of the velocity based on the acceleration an d/or the
velocity in one or more time intervals prior to the breaking of the contact, the velocity of the
scrolling or translation may be tapered. For example , in each successive time interval the
velocity may be decreased by 5 %. When the velocity crosses a lower threshold , it may be
set to zero.
[00109]
Figure 5 is a flow diagram illustrating a method 500 of scrolling through a
list in accordance with some embodiments. Movement of an object is detected on or near a
063266-5054
29
SAMNDCA00001583
touch screen display of a device (502). In some embodiments , the object is a finge r. In
some embodiments , the device is a portable multifunction device.
[00110]
In response to detecting the movement, a list of items displayed on the touch
screen display is scrolled in a first direction (504). In some embodiments , the list is a list of
email messages.asillustrated in Figures 6A-6D. In some embodiments , the list ofitems is
a list of instant message conversations, a list of favorite phone numbers , a list of contact
information (sometimes called a contact list or address book list) , a list of labels , a list of
email folders.alist of email addresses , alistofphysicaladdresses , alistofringtones , alist
of album names , or a list ofbookmarks. In some embodiments , the first direction is a
vertical direction; in some other embodiments , the first direction is a horizontal direction.
In some embodiments, scrolling the list in the first direction prior to reaching a terminus of
the list has an associated scrolling speed corresponding to a speed of movement of the
object (506). In some embodiments, the list is scrolled in accordance with a simulation of
an equation ofmotion having friction (508).
[00111]
If a terminus of the list is reached while scrolling the list in the first direction
while the object is still detected on or near the touch screen display , an area beyond the
terminus ofthe list is displayed (510-Yes , 514). In some embodiments , the list has a first
item and a last item and the terminus is either the first item or the last item. For example , in
Figure 6B the email 3534 from Aaron Jones is the first item and thus the terminus of the
corresponding list of emails. In some embodiments , the area beyond the terminus of the list
is white (516). In some embodiments , the list ofitems has a background and the area
beyond the terminus ofthe list is visually indistinct from the background (518). For
example , in Figure 6C both the area 3536 and the background ofthe listed emails are white.
[00112]
After the object is no longer detected on or near the touch screen display , the
list of items is scrolled in a second direction opposite the first direction until the area
beyond the terminus ofthe list is no longer displayed (520). In some embodiments , the list
is scrolled in the second direction using a damped motion (522). In some embodiments , the
change from scrolling the list in the first direction to scrolling the list in the second direction
until the area beyond the terminus of the list is no longer displayed makes the terminus of
the list appear to be elastically attached to an edge of the touch screen display or to an edge
displayed on the touch screen display (524).
063266-5054

SAMNDCA00001584
[00113]
If a terminus of the list is not reached while scrolling the list in the first
direction while the object is still detected on or near the touch screen display , the process
500 is cornplete (510-No , 512). The process 500 rnay be re-initiated upon subsequent
detection of another rnovernent of an object on or near the touch screen display (502).
[00114]
Figures 6A-6D illustrate the scrolling ofa list ofiterns to a terminus ofthe
list, at which point an area beyond the terminus is displayed and the list is then scrolled in
an opposite direction until the area beyond the terrninus is no longer displayed , in
accordance with sorne ernbodirnents. While Figures 6A-6D illustrate this scrolling in the
context of a portable rnultifunction device 100 , this scrolling is not lirnited to portable
rnultifunction devices. In the exarnple ofFigures 6A-6D , the listed iterns are ernail
messages; Figures 6A-6D illustrate an exernplary user interface 3500A for rnanaging an
inbox in accordance with sorne ernbodirnents. An analogous user interface rnay be used to
display and manage other rnailboxes (e.g. , drafts , sent, trash , personal , etc.). In addition,
other types of lists are possible , including but not lirnited to lists of instant rnessage
conversations , favorite phone nurnbers , contact information, labels , ernail folders , ernail
addresses , physical addresses , ringtones , alburn narnes or bookrnarks.
[00115]
In sorne ernbodirnents, user interface 3500A include the following elernents ,
or a subset or superset thereo f:
•
402 , 404 , and 406 , as described above;
•
a create ernail icon 3310 that when activated (e.g. , by a finger tap on the icon)
initiates display of a UI to create a new ernail rnessage;
•
rnailboxes icon 3502 that when activated (e.g. , by a finger tap on the icon) initiates
the display of a UI listing ernail rnailboxes (i.e. , folders);
•
unread rnessages icon 3504 that displays the nurnber ofunread rnessages in the
inbox;
•

SAMNDCA00001585
•
preview pane separator 3518 that separates the list of messages from a preview of a
selected message in the list;
•
settings icon 3520 that when activated (e.g. , by a finger tap on the icon) initiates the
display of a UI to modify settings;
•
move message icon 3522 that when activated (e.g. , by a finger tap on the icon)
initiates the display of a UI to move messages;
•
Delete symbol icon 3524 that when activated (e.g. , by a finger tap on the icon)
initiates display of a UI to confirm that the user wants to delete the selected email;
•
ReplylForward icon 3526 that when activated (e.g. , by a finger tap on the icon)
initiates display of a UI to select how to reply or forward the selected email;
[00116]
Ifthe list of emails fills more than the allotted screen area , the user may
scroll through the emails using vertically upward an dJor vertically downward swipe gestures
on the touch screen. In the example of Figure 6A, a portion of a list of emails is displayed
in the screen area , including a top displayed emai13530 from Bruce Walker and a bottom
displayed email 3532 from Kim Brook. A user performs a vertically downward swipe
gesture 3514 to scroll toward the top of the list. The vertically downward gesture 3514 ,
which may be a finger geSture , corresponds to the movement of an object on or near the
touch screen that is detected in step 502 of process 500 (Figure 5). The vertically
downward gesture 3514 need not be exactly vertical; a substantially vertical gesture is
sufficient. In some embodiments , a gesture within a predetermined angle ofbeing perfectly
vertical results in vertical scrolling. In one embodiment, a gesture within 27 degrees of
being perfectly vertical results in vertical scrolling.
[00117]
As a result of detecting the vertically downward geSture 3514 , in Figure 6B
the displayed emails have shifted down , such that the previous bottom displayed emai13532
from Kim Brook is no longer displayed , the previous top displayed email 3530 from Bruce
Walker is now second from the top , and the emai13534 from Aaron Jones , which was not
displayed in Figure 6A, is now displayed at the top of the list. This shifting of emails is an
example of the scrolling described in step 504 of process 500 (Figure 5).
[00118]
In this example , the emai13534 from Aaron Jones is the first email in the list
and thus is the terminus ofthe list. Upon reaching this emai13534 , in response to continued
063266-5054
32
SAMNDCA00001586
detection ofthe vertically downward gesture 3514 , an area 3536 (Figure 6C) above the first
emai13534 (i.e. , beyond the terminus ofthe list) is displayed , as described in step 514 of
process 500 (Figure 5). In some embodiments , the area displayed beyond the terminus of
the list is visually indistinct from the background of the list , as described in step 518 of
process 500 (Fi gure 5). In Figure 6C , both the area 3536 and the background ofthe emails
(e.g. , emails 3534 and 3530) are white and thus are visually indistinct.
[00119]
Once vertically downward gesture 3514 is complete, such that a
corresponding object is no longer detected on or near the touch screen display , the list is
scrolled in an opposite direction until the area 3536 is no longer displayed. Figure 6D
illustrates the result of this scrolling in the opposite direction, which corresponds to step 520
ofprocess 500 (Figure 5): the emai13534 from Aaron Jones is now displayed at the top of
the screen area allotted to the list and the area 3536 is not displayed.
[00120]
In the example ofFigures 6A-6D , a vertically downward gesture resulted in
display of an area beyond the first item in the list. Similar1y , a vertically upward gesture
may result in display of an area beyond the last item of the list, if the vertically upward
gesture continues once the list has been scrolled to the last item. The last item may be
considered a terminus of the list, similar to the first item. As discussed above , the gesture
need not be exact1 y vertical to result in vertical scrolling; a gesture within a predefined
range of angles from perfect1y vertical is sufficient.
[00121]
In some embodiments, instead of scrolling a list of items in one dimension, a
user may desire to translate an electronic document in two dimensions. If the electronic
document fills more than the screen area allotted to display the document , the screen will
only display a portion of the document. The user may translate the electronic document to
view portions of the document that are not initially displayed.
[00122]
Figure 7 is a flow diagram illustrating a method 700 oftranslating an
electronic document in accordance with some embodiments. Movement of an object is
detected on or near a touch screen display of a device (7 02). In some embodiments , the
object is a finger. In some embodiments , the device is a portable multifunction device.
[00123]
In response to detecting the movement, an electronic document displayed on
the touch screen display is translated in a first direction (7 04). In some embodiments , the
electronic document is a web page, as illustrated in Figures 8A-8D. In some embodiments,
063266-5054
33
SAMNDCA00001587
the electronic document is a word processing , spreadsheet , email, or presentation document.
In some embodiments, the first direction is a vertical direction , a horizontal direction , or a
diagonal direction. In some embodiments , the first direction corresponds to the direction of
movement of the object detected on or near the display but is not necessarily equal to the
direction ofmovement ofthe object.
[00124]
In some embodiments , translating the electronic document in the rrrst
direction prior to reaching an edge of the electronic document has an associated speed of
translation corresponding to a speed ofmovement ofthe object (7 06). In some
embodiments , the electronic document is translated in accordance with a simulation of an
equation of motion having
[00125]
잠iction
(7 08).
If an edge of the electronic document is reached while translating the
electronic document in the first direction while the object is still detected on or near the
touch screen display , an area beyond the edge ofthe electronic document is displayed (710Yes , 714). In some embodiments , the area beyond the edge ofthe electronic document is
black, gray, a solid color, or white (7 16). In some embodiments , the area beyond the edge
ofthe electronic document is visually distinct from the document (7 18). For example, the
area 3930 beyond the edge ofthe web page 3912 in Figure 8C is black, in contrast to the
white background ofthe web page 3912. In some other embodiments , a wallpaper image
such as a picture or pattem may be displayed in the area beyond the edge of the electronic
document.
[00126]
After the object is no longer detected on or near the touch screen display , the
electronic document is translated in a second direction until the area beyond the edge of the
electronic document is no longer displayed (720). For example , in Figure 8D the web page
3912 has been translated such that the area 3930 beyond its edge is no longer displayed. In
some embodiments , the second direction is opposite the first direction. In some
embodiments , the electronic document is translated in the second direction using a damped
motion (7 22). In some embodiments , the change from translating the electronic document
in the first direction to translating the electronic document in the second direction until the
area beyond the edge of the electronic document is no longer displayed makes the edge of
the electronic document appear to be elastically attached to an edge of the touch screen
display or to an edge displayed on the touch screen display (7 24).

If an edge of the electronic document is not reached while translating the
electronic document in the first direction while the object is still detected on or near the
touch screen display , the process 700 is complete (7 10-No, 712). The process 700 may be
re-initiated upon subsequent detection of another movement of an object on or near the
touch screen display (702).
[00128]
Figures 8A-8D illustrate the translation of an electronic document to an edge
of the document , at which point an area beyond the edge is displayed and the document is
then translated in a second direction until the area beyond the edge of the document is no
longer displayed , in accordance with some embodiments. While Figures 8A-8D illustrate
this translation in the context of a portable multifunction device 100 , this translation is not
limited to portable multifunction devices. In the example ofFigures 8A-8D , the document
is a web page; Figures 8A-8D illustrate an exemplary user interface for a browser in
accordance with some embodiments. An analogous user interface may be used to display
other types of electronic documents , such as word processing, spreadsheet, email , or
presentation documents.
[00129]
In some embodiments, user interface 3900A of Figures 8A-8D includes the
following elements , or a subset or superset thereof:

[00130]
In some embodiments, the device analyzes the render tree of the web page
3912 to determine the blocks 3914 in the web page. In some embodiments , a block 3914
corresponds to a render node that is: replaced; a block; an inline block; or an inline table.
[00131]
In Figure 8A, the web page fills more than the allotted screen area: only the
left sides ofblock 7 (3914-7) and block 8 (3914-8) are displayed and only the top left comer
of block 9 (3914-9) is displayed.
To view the partially displayed blocks , a user may
translate the displayed document by gesturing on the touch screen in accordance with some
embodiments.
[00132]
In some embodiments , in response to a substantially vertical upward (or
downward) swipe gesture by the user, the web page (or, more generally, other electronic
documents) may translate one-dimensionally upward (or downward) in the vertical
direction. In some embodiments , a gesture is considered substantially vertical if it is within
a predetermined angle of being perfectly vertica1. For example , in response to an upward
swipe gesture by the user that is within a predetermined angle (e.g. , 27 0 ) ofbeing perfectly
vertical , the web page may scroll one-dimensionally upward in the vertical direction.
[00133]
Conversely, in some embodiments , in response to a gesture that is not within
a predetermined angle (e.g. , 2T) of being perfectly vertical, the web page may translate
two-dimensionally (i.e. , with simultaneous movement in both the vertical and horizontal
directions). For example , in response to an upward swipe gesture by the user that is not
within a predetermined angle (e.g. , 27 0 ) of being perfectly vertical , the web page may
translate two-dimensionally along the direction of the swipe.
063266-5054
36
SAMNDCA00001590
[00134]
In the examp1e of Figure 8A, an upward swipe gesture 3925 is not within a
predetermined ang1e of being perfectly vertica1.
Therefore , as a result of detecting the
upward swipe gesture 3925 , the web page is trans1ated in two dimensions. In this examp1e ,
the trans1ation is approximate1y diagona 1. Figure 8B illustrates the result of this trans1ation:
b10cks 8 (3914-8) and 9 (3914-9) are now fully disp1ayed; b10cks 1 (3914-1) and 2 (3914-2)
are now on1y partially disp1ayed , and b10ck 3 (3914-3) is no 10nger disp1ayed at all. This
trans1ation is an examp1e of the trans1ation described in step 704 of process 700 (Figure 7).
[00135]
In Figure 8B , b10ck 9 (3914-9) is in the 10wer right-hand comer of the web
page 3912; both the bottom and right edges of the web page have been reached whi1e
trans1ating the web page.
Upon reaching these edges of the document , in response to
continued detection of the upward gesture 3925 , an area 3930 (Figure 8C) beyond the
bottom and right edges of the web page is disp1ayed.
In some embodiments , the area
disp1ayed beyond the edge(s) of an e1ectronic document is visually distinct from the
document , as described in step 718 of process 700 (Figure 7). In Figure 8C , the area 3930 is
b1ack and thus is visually distinct from the white background ofthe web page 3912.
[00136]
Once the upward gesture 3925 is comp1ete , such that a corresponding object
is no longer detected on or near the touch screen disp1ay , the web page 3912 is translated
(e.g. , in a direction opposite to the origina1 direction oftrans1ation) unti1 the area 3930 is no
10nger disp1ayed. Figure 8D illustrates the result of this trans1ation, which corresponds to
step 720 of process 700 (Figure 7): b10ck 9 (3914-9) is now disp1ayed in the 10wer righthand comer ofthe portion ofthe screen allotted to disp1ay the web page 3912 and the area
3930 not disp1ayed. In some embodiments , the direction of trans1ation is not necessari1y
opposite to the origina1 direction but may be in any direction such that , upon comp1etion of
the trans1ation, the area beyond the edge(s) of the e1ectronic document is no 10nger
disp1ayed.
[00137]
Whi1e Figures 6A-6D and 8A-8D illustrate scrolling 1ists and trans1ating
e1ectronic documents in the context of a portab1e multifunction device 100 , simi1ar 1ist
scrolling and electronic document trans1ation may be performed on any device with a touchscreen disp1ay , in accordance with some embodiments. The device , such as device 9000
be1ow, may or may not be portab1e and the function or functions performed by the device
mayvary.

PROTECTING YOUR INVENTION OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES
Since the rights granted by a U.S. patent extend only throughout the territory of the United States and have
no effect in a foreign country , an inventor who wishes patent protection in another country must apply for a
patent in a specific country or in regional patent offices. Applicants may wish to consider the filing of an
SAMNDCA00001622
international application under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT). An international (PCT) application
generally has the same effect as a regular national patent application in each PCT-member country. The
PCT process simplifies the filing of patent applications on the same invention in member countries , but
does not result in a grant of "an international patent" and does not eliminate the need of applicants to file
additional documents and fees in countries where patent protection is desired.
Almost every country has its own patent law , and a person desiring a patent in a particular country must
make an application for patent in that country in accordance with its particular laws. Since the laws of many
countries differ in various respects from the patent law of the United States , applicants are advised to seek
guidance from specific foreign countries to ensure that patent rights are not lost prematurely
Applicants also are advised that in the case of inventions made in the United States , the Director of the
USPTO must issue a license before applicants can apply for a patent in a foreign country. The filing of a U.S
patent application serves as a request for a foreign filing license. The application ’s filing receipt contains
further information and guidance as to the status of applicant’s license for foreign filing.
Applicants may wish to consult the USPTO booklet , "General Information Concerning Patents" (specifically ,
the section entitled "Treaties and Foreign Patents") for more information on timeframes and deadlines for
filing foreign patent applications. The guide is available either by contacting the USPTO Contact Center at
800-786-9199 , or it can be viewed on the USPTO website at
http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/pac/doc/general/index.html.
For information on preventing theft of your intellectual property (patents , trademarks and copyrights) , you
may wish to consult the U.S. Government website , http://www.stopfakes.gov. Part of a Department of
Commerce initiative , this website includes self-help "toolkits" giving innovators guidance on how to protect
intellectual property in specific countries such as China , Korea and Mexico. For questions regarding patent
enforcement issues , applicants may call the U.S. Government hotline at 1-866-999-HALT (1-866-999-4158).
Ll CENSE FOR FOREIGN FI Ll NG UNDER
Title 35 , United States Code , Section 184
Title 37 , Code of Federal Regulations , 5.11 & 5.15
GRANTED
The applicant has been granted a license under 35 U.S.C. 184 , if the phrase "IF REQUIRED , FOREIGN
FI Ll NG Ll CENSE GRANTED" followed by a date appears on this form. Such licenses are issued in all
applications where the conditions for issuance of a license have been met , regardless of whether or not a
license may be required as set forth in 37 CFR 5.15. The scope and limitations of this license are set forth in
37 CFR 5.15(a) unless an earlier license has been issued under 37 CFR 5.15(b). The license is subject to
revocation upon written notification. The date indicated is the effective date of the license , unless an earlier
license of similar scope has been granted under 37 CFR 5.13 or 5.14.
This license is to be retained by the licensee and may be used at any time on or after the effective date
thereof unless it is revoked. This license is automatically transferred to any related applications(s) filed under
37 CFR 1.53(d). This license is not retroactive.
The grant of a license does not in any way lessen the responsibility of a licensee for the security of the
subject matter as imposed by any Government contract or the provisions of existing laws relating to
espionage and the national security or the export of technical data. Li censees should apprise themselves of
current regulations especially with respect to certain countries , of other agencies , particularly the Office of
Defense Trade Controls , Department of State (with respect to Arms , Munitions and Implements of War (22
CFR 121-128)); the Bureau of Industry and Security , Department of Commerce (15 CFR parts 730-774); the
Office of Foreign AssetsControl , Department of Treasury (31 CFR Parts 500+) and the Department of
Energy
SAMNDCA00001623
NOT GRANTED
No license under 35 U.S.C. 184 has been granted at this time , if the phrase "IF REQUIRED , FOREIGN
FI Ll NG Ll CENSE GRANTED" DOES NOT appear on this form. Applicant may still petition for a license
under 37 CFR 5.12 , if a license is desired before the expiration of 6 months from the filing date of the
application. If 6 months has lapsed from the filing date of this application and the licensee has not received
