  • Publication number: 20230280899
    Abstract: Techniques for coordinating movements of various objects in an electronic document are disclosed. A first-type object remains stationary so that it becomes outside a content boundary of the electronic document, as the content boundary is pulled inside an edge of a window displaying the electronic document. A second-type object remains stationary until the content boundary reaches the edge of the window and then moves along with the scrolled electronic document as the content boundary is pulled inside the edge of the window. A third-type object and a fourth-type object may show different movement behaviors.

  • Patent number: 9104296
    Abstract: Some embodiments relate to providing an improved progress indicator in a graphical user interface. In addition to conveying a completion status of a task to a user, an improved progress indicator in some embodiments can convey additional information about the task to the user. For example, some embodiments can display a visual cue when a triviality threshold indicating that the task is “substantially complete” is met.
