Abstract

Improved computer efficiency for document navigation is provided. A transparent overlay is automatically applied to an interactive content element to prevent inadvertent interaction with the element during scrolling operations. In some examples, upon determining a user's intent is to navigate a parent document comprising an embedded interactive element, the overlay is applied, and user-interactionwith the interactive element is temporarily disabled. Upon determining the user's intent is to interact with the interactive element, the overlay is removed, and user-interaction with the interactiveelement is enabled. When the overlay is removed, a contextual hint, such as via a user interface control, can be provided to indicate how to continue navigating the parent document. In other examples, the transparent overlay is customized according to each interactive content element, wherein user controls associated with the interactive element are exposed, and wherein the overlay is perpetuallyapplied to the interactive element.

Description

Background technique [0001] Computer and software users have become accustomed to user-friendly software applications that provide intuitive graphical user interfaces and an accurate and efficient user experience. Many documents, such as productivity application documents, storytelling presentations, web pages, etc., include interactive content elements such as embedded maps, video clips, charts, web page content, and the like. Often, when a user attempts to scroll past an interactive content element, the scrolling interaction is inadvertently applied to the interactive content element rather than the parent document in which the interactive content element is embedded. As a result, the user may get "stuck" moving / scrolling inside the interactive content element instead of continuing to navigate the parent document. [0002] For example, consider a web page including an interactive map displayed on the screen of a computing device. A user may want to navigate down a web page...
