USER INTERFACE INTERACTION BEHAVIOR BASED ON INSERTION POINT

摘要

Automatic manipulation of document user interface behavior is provided based on an insertion point. Upon placement of an insertion point within a displayed document, the behavior of the user interface is adjusted based on a next action of the user. If the user begins a drag action near the insertion point, he/she is enabled to interact with the content of the document (e.g. select a portion of text or object(s)). If the user begins a drag action at a location away from the insertion point, on the other hand, he/she is enabled to interact with the page (e.g. panning) Thus, the interaction behavior is automatically adjusted without additional action by the user or limitations on user action.
