Abstract: A computer-implemented user interface method includes displaying one or more display elements in a graphical user interface, including elements that correspond to pop up controls, receiving a selection of one of the one or more display elements, determining whether the selected element corresponds to a pop up control, and displaying the selected element in a highlighted format upon receiving the selection if the element corresponds to a pop up control, and displaying a pop up control after displaying the element in a highlighted format if the selection persists for a long press period.

Abstract: A computer-implemented user interface method includes receiving a first user selection at a first location on a graphically-displayed object on a graphical user interface, receiving a subsequent user selection, separate from the first user selection, at a second location on the graphically-displayed object, determining a relative orientation between the first location and the second location, and zooming on the graphically-displayed object centered on a point that is along a line between the first location and the second location. A direction of the zooming is determined from the relative orientation of the first location to the second location.
