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 specifically, to portable electronic devices that allow a user to use multiple applications in parallel. Background technique [0002] Portable electronic devices (eg, mobile phones, sometimes referred to as cell phones, cell phones, cellular phones, etc.) typically support multiple applications, such as telephony, e-mail, Instant Messaging (IM), digital cameras, Web browsing, etc. . [0003] Users may often prefer to start new applications without terminating or suspending existing applications. For example, if the user is on the phone with another person, the user may need to check the weather forecast for a city and then call the other person with the weather forecast. At some point, a user may wish to respond to an incoming IM message while chatting with another person on the phone. [0004] But existing products do not yet well support this multitasking feature ...
