Abstract: A system and method for viewing material displayed on an electronic device. When a user desires to view a document, only a portion of which is viewable on a display at a given moment, the portion is displayed on the display as a primary image. A secondary image is then generated, with the secondary image including the portion and additional material of the document not part of the primary image. The secondary image is superimposed over the primary image on the display when a user scrolls through the document such that both the secondary image and the primary image are visible to the user.

Abstract: A mobile communication device is adapted to identify a task for postponed transfer to a computing device over a local communication link.

The user is provided with the ability to initiate a task on the mobile communication device and continue or complete the task on a computer.

Abstract: A method for shortening a web page title. The method includes determining if a title of a current web page fits in a title display area of a display. If the title fits the title is displayed in the title area. If the title does not fit, it is determined if the title of the current web page starts with a same word as a title of a previous page. If the title of the current web page starts with the same word, at least one word is removed from a beginning portion of the title of the current page that is in common with the title of the previous page, until the title of the current page fits in the title display area, or there are no more common words in the beginning of the title. End words or letters or end words can be removed until the title fits. Missing words may be indicated by adding a predetermined indicator in the area of the missing or removed words.

Abstract: Web style navigation methods are applied across applications and webpages, whether local or web-based, and hypertext navigation methods used in the web are extended to local applications. Local and web applications are mixed seamlessly so that the user does not perceive any difference between navigation within either one of, or between, those types of applications. The user navigates between different user interface states, in and out of different types of applications. All views and states of views are recorded and the user can switch to a previous view, in the state in which it was viewed, using a back, history or other suitable state recording and retrieval function.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method, a computer program product, a device and a system for formatting an object to obtain a formatted object, wherein the object comprises a plurality of elements, and wherein the formatted object is affected by at least one constraint, wherein the constraint is scaled by a first scaling factor to obtain a scaled constraint; wherein at least one of the elements is scaled by a second scaling factor to obtain a scaled element; wherein a layout structure is generated for the plurality of elements including the scaled element under consideration of the scaled constraint; and wherein the layout structure is scaled by a third scaling factor to obtain the formatted object.

Abstract: An apparatus including a display having a viewable area and a processor connected to the display, the processor being configured to present a border along edges of a document so that the border indicates a proximity of a corresponding edge of the document to the viewing area.

Abstract: A method including downloading a document for presentation on a device and replacing at least one image in at least one image box of the document with at least one different image from the device.

Abstract: It is presented a method for saving data shown on a display of a mobile terminal, comprising the steps of: receiving an input indicating that currently shown data is to be saved; determining save data, the save data comprising a part of a document shown on the display; and saving the save data in a user-accessible memory. A corresponding apparatus and computer program is also presented.

Abstract: Controlling displaying of a plurality of pages in a browser application for execution in a mobile communication terminal including a display. A first set of graphical representations of pages previously displayed in a first browser window is created. If a second browser window exists, creating a second set of graphical representations of pages previously displayed in a second browser window. At least a subset of the first set is displayed in a first spatial sequence along a first direction of the display. If a second browser window exists, displaying at least a subset of the second set in a second spatial sequence along the first direction and separated from the first spatial sequence a distance along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. An indicator is shown on the display that indicates a most recently visited page.
