Problems solved by technology

Similarly, erratic jumps can cause users to lose their place within the page
This can lead to erratic behavior when the user's finger is being used to manipulate a scroll bar on a touch device, as the user's finger remains in the original position of the slider, which can cause the displayed Big "jumps" in content
Therefore, using regular scroll bars to navigate a document with dynamically expanding content can be confusing and frustrating for users

[0017] overview

[0018] Conventional scroll bar user interfaces maintain a linear relationship between the position of the scroll bar and the position of the displayed content in the user interface. For example, if the scroll bar is halfway down the UI, it tends to indicate that the user is halfway through the content. This design is suitable for documents that contain static content such as a predetermined page length, a predetermined number of items to display, and so on.

[0019] However, many documents today, such as web pages, dynamically update the content to be displayed as the user manipulates a scroll bar to scroll down through the content. For example, a social networking site such as Facebook.com may display to a user a list of news items in a "news feed," where each news item corresponds to a story or event associated with one of the user's friends. A user's news feed may contain thousands of news items accumulated over multiple days. Due to the large number of...

Abstract

This article describes the technology and device for rolling bars for dynamic content.In one or more implementation, a part of the initial content is displayed in the user interface with the rolling strip of the initial content.When the scroll bar is selected, the dynamic content used to display in the user interface.As a response, the dynamic rolling mode that activates the rolling bar to enable it to navigate to the initial content and dynamic content.The dynamic rolling mode dynamically adjusts one or more rolling ratios of the scroll bar without changing the visual position of the scroll bar.

Description

[0001] technical background [0002] Conventional scroll bars include a thumb that can be dragged along a track to jump to a particular location in a document (eg, a web page), for example, to provide a user with a visual indication of the current location within the document. For example, if the slider is halfway down the scroll bar's track, it tends to indicate that the user is halfway through the content of the document. Conventional scroll bars are designed for use with documents containing static content such as a predetermined page length, a predetermined number of items to display, and so on. [0003] However, many documents today (such as web pages) dynamically update the content to be displayed as the user manipulates a scroll bar, such as adding additional items as the user approaches or reaches the end of the currently available content. In response to receiving dynamic content, many conventional scroll bars force the position of the scroll bar's thumb to jump while ...
