Content may be displayed on a display of a device as part of a graphical interface in which the content is divided into categories or sections. A content item representing a particular group of content items, such as a group corresponding to a category, may be graphically “flashed” to the user as the user pans or scrolls through content. In particular implementation, a computing device may determine a group of active content items corresponding to a current navigation point of a set of content items, determine a representative content item from the group of active content items, and present an area displaying the representative content item.

A navigation module for a structured database having a multiplicity of dimensions is operative to cause a user interface to display one or more data point values retrieved from the database and to receive user input. The navigation module responds to user selection of one or more presented data point values by causing the user interface to display a first element indicium representative of an element of one or more data point vectors defining a location of the one or more user selected data point values within the database, and to display a second element indicium associated with the first element. The navigation module retrieves from the structured database one or more new data point values corresponding to one or more new data point vectors defined by user selection of the second element indicium, and causes the user interface to display the one or more new data point values.

An ergonomic pointing device, such as a mouse, includes a wheel to provide an input signal in addition to X and Y position signals provided by a rotatable ball of a standard mouse. The wheel extends from an upper surface of the pointing device and may be rotated and depressed by the finger of the user, the wheel being positioned and configured to allow a user to activate the wheel while maintaining a finger in a biomechanically neutral position. The wheel and associated structure, as well as the forces required to rotate and depress the wheel, are configured to reduce inadvertent actuation and to provide a user with tactile feedback, thereby allowing the user to accurately and intuitively activate the pointing device without exceeding an acceptable extension and range of motion for the user's finger and wrist. The mouse is coupled to a computer having a visual display device. The computer is capable of displaying a data file such as a word processing or spreadsheet document, where the data file has adjustable display characteristics such as size (zoom) or data structure (content). As a user rotates the roller, the mouse generates computer signals that are interpreted by an operating system and software applications running on the computer. The signals generated by the roller, together with a given software application, can be used in at least two ways: spatial navigation and data navigation. In spatial navigation, a user rotates the roller to cause the computer and the visual display to zoom into and out of the document and thereby display increasing or decreasing magnification levels of the document on the display. Other modes of spatial navigation allow the user to activate a roller switch, depress special function keys on a keyboard and/or move the mouse to pan, automatically scroll or manually scroll through the document. In data navigation, the user rotates the roller to view differing levels of content or detail with respect to the document.

An object oriented computing system in an object oriented computing platform environment. The computing system comprises a computing platform, and a plurality of objects residing on said computing platform. Each of these objects includes an object frame containing data attributes and at least one object method which performs actions on the associated object. The objects are arranged in an inheritance hierarchy of objects to define parent and child objects, such that child objects inherit the data attributes and methods of parent objects, and to further define objects in the inheritance hierarchy which are unrelated as parent and child objects, such that unrelated objects do not inherit the data attributes and method of each other. Visual support means are provided to display visually predefined aspects of the objects and complex objects.

A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for a transformation lineage model. Data stored on a data storage device connected to a computer is navigated.

Methods are provided for transmitting and navigating interlinked data using an interactive programming system. Pages of interlinked data are encoded at a network node, and data navigation information is generated for each page of the interlinked data. This data is then stored at the node. A user at a subscriber location, connected to the node by a television signal distribution network, is able to view a first page of the interlinked data, provided by the interactive programming system to the user's settop for display on a display device. The interactive programming system also provides the data navigation information to the user's settop. The interpreter within the user's settop creates a chaser, which is displayed at one of the links of the interlinked data and allows the user to navigate those links. The user may use the chaser to select a link, which is interpreted within the settop to provide a command signal identifying an action, such as sending another page of the data to the user's settop.

The inventive system and method are directed to novel embodiments of various tools and infrastructures that enable a user of a document viewed on a data processing system using a document handling application, to engage in at least one additional concurrent data navigation/interaction activity in the document, and/or in the application handling the document, without affecting the user's document interaction activities. In the preferred embodiment of the invention the inventive system and method are implemented by enabling the handling application to present the document along with at least one Independent Data Interaction/Navigation Element (IDINE), that includes a display component for displaying and optionally enabling interaction with any data (content) provided thereto, and a control component for navigating the provided content. Advantageously, the novel system and method ensure that utilizing any particular IDINE to navigate content provided thereto, does not affect the user's ability to navigate or interact with content in the document, or in other IDINEs (if any are present). The system and method of the present invention also provide a number of novel techniques for implementing and modifying IDINEs, and also provide multiple advantageous IDINE-related infrastructures, having additional benefits to parties involved in IDINE use, implementation, and content provision thereto.

A method and system uses an acceleration curve to enhance data navigation. In a preferred embodiment, the scrolling algorithm of an input device with a rotational member accelerates a resultant scroll amount in direct relation to a rotational speed of the rotational member. The acceleration curve may be implemented in a look-up table in the mouse driver. Different acceleration curves may be used based upon whether a user is scrolling up or scrolling down. In a further embodiment, acceleration is temporarily inhibited upon the occurrence of a change in the direction of rotation of the rotational member.
