Patent number: 9727095Abstract: In one embodiment, a method and program for browsing information on a hand-held device having a display is provided. The device includes (1) showing on the display a portion of the page residing around the predefined point and having a shape similar to the shape of the display, (2) generating a mirror line by mirroring the reference line in relation to a line that is perpendicular to the display surface and travels via the reference point in response to tilting of the hand-held device in relation to the spatial initial state, (3) defining a hit point (xn,yn) where the mirror line hits the virtual surface and the page containing information, and (4) showing on the display at least a portion of the page around the hit point, said portion to have a shape similar to the shape of the display, the position of the hit point on the page to correspond to the position of the reference point on the display.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2010Date of Patent: August 8, 2017Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Johannes Vaananen, Manne Hannula

Patent number: 7607111Abstract: Information is browsed on a display device of a hand-held device naturally and logically essentially in a mirror-like way when the portion of the virtual data object displayed on the display device is moved in the same direction as the hand-held device is tilted. That is, the movements of the portion of the virtual data object displayed on the display device depends on the orientation of the hand-held device. A certain orientation of the hand-held device always displays the same portion of the virtual data object on the display device. The browsing method described above is extremely logical, and the movements and responses to the movements are natural.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2005Date of Patent: October 20, 2009Assignee: MotionIP LLCInventors: Johannes Vaananen, Manne Hannula

Publication number: 20020175896Abstract: The idea of the present invention is to browse information on a display device of a hand-held device naturally and logically. Characteristic of the invention is that information is browsed on the display device essentially in a mirror-like way. In other words, the portion of the virtual data object displayed on the display device is moved in the same direction as the hand-held device is tilted. In other words, the movements of the portion of the virtual data object displayed on the display device depends on the orientation of the hand-held device. An important feature of the invention is also that a certain orientation of the hand-held device always displays the same portion of the virtual data object on the display device. The browsing method described above is extremely logical, and the movements and responses to the movements are natural.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 8, 2002Publication date: November 28, 2002Applicant: Myorigo, L.L.C.Inventors: Johannes Vaananen, Manne Hannula
