  • Publication number: 20180032215
    Abstract: Automatic partitioning of a list for efficient list navigation is provided. A list is automatically partitioned into sections and increasingly-refined subsections. A user-selection of a section is received, and the list partitioning system scrolls the list to the selected section or filters the list to the selected section. Refinement input in the form of a sliding movement of a user-controlled cursor along an axis perpendicular to the list is received, and the system provides a display of refinement criteria in the form of a first level of refined subsections of the selected section. Upon receiving a selection of a refined subsection, the system scrolls the list to the selected subsection or filters the list to the selected subsection. The list can be continually navigated to a next level of refined subsections until a last level of subsection-refinement is reached, or until the user makes a selection of a list item.
