Embodiment approach

[0078] Jump scrolling is another method for navigating in large groups or lists. Jump scrolling allows users to skip the remaining items in one set to reach another item in a different set. The jump-forward and jump-back gestures of the scroll wheel zip through all remaining items in the current group and continue to any next object. According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the skip-forward gesture includes scrolling back an object (eg, a click of the scroll wheel 3006 ) after scrolling forward. According to another embodiment of the present invention, the jump-back gesture includes scrolling forward an object after scrolling backward. According to this embodiment, when the system detects any of these patterns, the system will jump scroll.

[0079] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, an example of skip scrolling will be described below with reference to FIG. 5( a ) and FIG. 5( b ). Figure 5(a) shows two groups of objects. Gr...
