< Motive or Background of Invention >
There is a need for devices with touch-screen displays with more transparent and intuitive user
interfaces for scrolling lists of items and for translating, rotating, and scaling electronic documents
that are easy to use, configure, and/or adapt.
< Content of Invention >
This IP relates to application programming interfaces that provide scrolling operations called
“bounce back”, “zooming” and “pinching” in smart phone. Bounce back is the feature that happens
when a user scrolls beyond the edge of an image or document. Zooming and pinching function can
be described as the one finger scroll and two finger pinch to zoom.
If an edge of the electronic document is reached while translating the electronic document in the
first direction while the object is still detected on or near the touch screen display, an area beyond
the edge of the document is displayed. After the object is no longer detected on or near the touch
screen display, the document is translated in a second direction until the area beyond the edge of
the document is no longer displayed.
A method for operating through an application programming interface (API) in this environment
includes transferring a set bounce call. The method further includes setting at least one of
maximum and minimum bounce values. The set bounce call causes a bounce of a scrolled region
in an opposite direction of a scroll based on a region past an edge of the scrolled region being
visible in a display region at the end of the scroll.
< Value or Effect of Invention >
Our IP provides for easy and intuitive scrolling of lists and translating of electronic documents on a
device with a touch screen display, and for easy and intuitive rotation and scaling of electronic
documents on a device with a touch screen display. The market size related to this IP will be able
to be evaluated beyond about $300B, although considering the only smart phone industry.

Galaxy Ⅲ / Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd.
< Motive or Background of Invention >
There is a need for devices with touch-screen displays with more transparent and intuitive user
interfaces for scrolling lists of items and for translating, rotating, and scaling electronic documents
that are easy to use, configure, and/or adapt. User interfaces of devices implement APIs in order to
provide requested functionality and features. These user interfaces can have difficulty interpreting
the various types of user inputs and providing the intended functionality associated with the user
inputs.
< Content of Invention >
This IP relates to application programming interfaces that provide scrolling operations called
“bounce back”, “zooming” and “pinching” in smart phone. Bounce back is the feature that happens
when a user scrolls beyond the edge of an image or document. Zooming and pinching function can
be described as the one finger scroll and two finger pinch to zoom.
A movement of an object on or near the touch screen display is detected. In response to detecting
the movement, an electronic document displayed on the touch screen display is translated in a first
direction. If an edge of the electronic document is reached while translating the electronic
document in the first direction while the object is still detected on or near the touch screen display,
an area beyond the edge of the document is displayed. After the object is no longer detected on or
near the touch screen display, the document is translated in a second direction until the area
beyond the edge of the document is no longer displayed.
At least certain embodiments of the present disclosure include an environment with user interface
software interacting with a software application. A method for operating through an application
programming interface (API) in this environment includes transferring a set bounce call. The
method further includes setting at least one of maximum and minimum bounce values. The set
bounce call causes a bounce of a scrolled region in an opposite direction of a scroll based on a
region past an edge of the scrolled region being visible in a display region at the end of the scroll.
< Value or Effect of Invention >
Our IP provides for easy and intuitive scrolling of lists and translating of electronic documents on a
device with a touch screen display, and for easy and intuitive rotation and scaling of electronic
documents on a device with a touch screen display. The market share of this IP will be able to be
evaluated beyond about $300B, although considering the only smart phone industry.
