  • Patent number: 10984169
    Abstract: A method for providing a dynamic loupe in a window of an electronic device. The method includes displaying a document in the window of the electronic device, displaying, using at least dimensions associated with a first sub-region of the document being displayed, the dynamic loupe for the first sub-region, receiving an instruction to associate the dynamic loupe with a second sub-region of the document being displayed, determining one or more dimensions of the second sub-region, and displaying, using at least the identified one or more dimensions, the dynamic loupe for the second sub-region.

  • Patent number: 10019413
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for providing a dynamic loupe for displayed information of a document. The displayed information can be provided in various sub-regions of the document. Based on the position of an input relative to a particular sub-region, the loupe can be sized and positioned such that a portion of information from the sub-region is displayed in the loupe. The portion of information can be displayed using a loupe scale factor that may differ from a scale factor used for the rest of the displayed information. The loupe position can be selected such that the contents and or position of the loupe may be biased towards a particular sub-region.

  • Patent number: 9613159
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for integrating a fit-to-size scale factor in a sequence of scale factors. A fit-to-size scale factor can be determined based on original dimensions of information to be displayed and on dimensions of a window in which to display the information. The determined fit-to-size scale factor can be integrated in a listing of scale factors such that when a user steps through the sequence of scale factors, the user can select from the sequence the fit-to-size scale factor with which to display the information. In some cases, a auto-resize mode can be seamlessly enabled such that the information may automatically scale to its fit-to-size scale factor when the window is re-sized.

  • Patent number: 8943395
    Abstract: This is directed to a preview application for displaying several documents simultaneously in a single window, where the several documents are displayed as books. To view the pages of a document, the preview application can open the book and display the pages of the document (e.g., in a one or two-dimensional array). A user can also search for particular terms within the several documents. In response to a search, the preview application can filter the pages of the several documents and only display those pages that include the search terms. The displayed pages can be ordered in any suitable manner, including for example by search rank.

  • Patent number: 8875035
    Abstract: This is directed to differentiating between portions of a selection area that are within the boundary of displayed information and portions of the selection area that are beyond the boundary of the displayed information. In some embodiments, the graphical representation of the selection area can change based on the position of the selection area relative to the boundary of the displayed information. In particular, the representation of portions or regions of the selection area that are within the boundary of the displayed information can be different than the representation of the portions or regions of the selection area that extend beyond the boundary of the displayed information. For example, the electronic device can provide different fills in each of the regions, or different line patterns around the peripheries of each of the selection area regions.
