Embodiment Construction

[0020] Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In the following detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known methods, procedures, components, circuits and networks have not been described in detail so as not to unnecessarily obscure aspects of the embodiments.

[0021] It should also be understood that, although the terms first, second, etc. may be used herein to describe various elements, these elements should not be limited to those terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element from another. For example, a first posture could be termed a second posture, and, similarly, a second posture could be termed a first posture, without departing f...

Abstract

A computer-implemented method, for use in conjunction with a portable multifunction device (100) with a touch screen display (112), comprises displaying a portion of page content (4202), including a frame (4204) displaying a portion of frame content (4206) and also including other content of the page (4208), on the touch screen display (112). An N-finger translation gesture (4210) is detected on or near the touch screen display (112). In response, the page content (4202), including the displayed portion of the frame content (4206) and the other content of the page (4208), is translated to display a new portion of page content (4212) on the touch screen display (112). An M-finger translation gesture (4214) is detected on or near the touch screen display (112), where M is a different number than N. In response, the frame content (4206) is translated to display a new portion of frame content (4216) on the touch screen display (112), without translating the other content of the page (4208).

Description

technical field [0001] The disclosed embodiments relate generally to portable electronic devices, and more particularly to portable devices that pan display content in response to detected finger gestures. Background technique [0002] As portable electronic devices become more compact, and the number of functions performed by a given device increases, designing user interfaces that enable users to easily interact with multifunction devices has become a significant challenge. This challenge is especially important for handheld portable devices with much smaller screens than desktop or laptop computers. The situation is disadvantageous because the user interface is the avenue through which the user not only receives content but also responds to user actions or behaviors, including the user's attempts to access the features, tools, and functions of the device. Some portable communication devices (e.g., mobile phones, sometimes referred to as cellular phones, etc.) resort to a...
