Abstract

A portable electronic device with a touch screen display for photo management is disclosed. One aspect of the invention involves a computer-implemented method in which the portable electronic device displays an array of thumbnail images corresponding to a set of photographic images. The device replaces the displayed array of thumbnail images with a user-selected photographic image upon detecting a user contact with a corresponding thumbnail image in the array. The user-selected photographic image is displayed at a larger scale than the corresponding thumbnail image. The portable device displays a different photographic image in replacement of the user-selected photographic image in accordance with a scrolling gesture. The scrolling gesture comprises a substantially horizontal movement of user contact with the touch screen display.

Description

technical field [0001] The disclosed embodiments relate generally to portable electronic devices, and more particularly to portable devices for photo management such as digital photography, photo editing, and e-mailing of photos. Background technique [0002] As portable electronic devices become more compact and capable of performing multiple functions, designing user interfaces that allow users to easily interact with such multifunctional devices has become a significant challenge. This challenge is even more pronounced for hand-portable electronic devices that have smaller screens than desktop or laptop computers. This situation is unfortunate since the user interface is the means by which the user receives information and the device receives user actions or behaviors involving the user's attempts to access the features, tools, and functions of the portable electronic device. [0003] Some portable devices (e.g., mobile phones, cell phones, and cellular phones, etc.) res...
