Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, existing methods for navigating through several values ​​in a range of values ​​are cumbersome and inefficient
For example, scrolling through a large range of values ​​using a series of mouse-based inputs is tedious and creates a significant cognitive load on the user
In addition, existing methods take an unduly long time, thereby wasting energy

Embodiment Construction

[0045] Reference will now be made in detail to the 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.

[0046] It will also be understood that although the terms "first", "second", etc. may be used herein to describe various elements, these elements should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element from another. For example, a first contact could be termed a second contact, and, similarly, a second contact could be termed a first contact, without depart...

Abstract

A multifunction device displays a navigation user interface that includes: a navigation bar having a plurality of unit regions and a plurality of subunit regions. Each of the unit regions represents a range of values. Each subunit region represents a subset of a respective range of values. The navigation user interface also includes a content area for displaying content associated with subunit regions. In response to detecting an input that selects a respective subunit region, the multifunction device updates the content area in accordance with the respective selected subunit region. In response to detecting an input that selects a respective unit region, the multifunction device updates the navigation bar to include subunit regions in accordance with the selected unit region and updates the content area in accordance with at least one of the subunit regions in the updated navigation bar.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to electronic devices with touch-sensitive surfaces, including, but not limited to, electronic devices with touch-sensitive surfaces for navigating through a range of values. Background technique [0002] The use of touch-sensitive surfaces as input devices for computers and other electronic computing devices has increased significantly in recent years. Exemplary touch-sensitive surfaces include touchpads and touchscreen displays. Such surfaces are widely used to control applications that require navigation through a range of values. [0003] Exemplary modes for navigating through a range of values ​​include identifying a predetermined target value and navigating to the target value, scanning forward through the range of values, scanning backward through the range of values, or jumping from one value to the next value. Exemplary ranges of values ​​that can be navigated through include: navigating through a tim...
