摘要

The invention relates to a method and means for reinterpreting user input in a mobile device. In particular, the invention relates to a method and means for reinterpreting user input given during scrolling or browsing of data in a mobile device. Typically at very high scrolling speeds, or in motion guided devices, it is difficult for users to select data items from the data they scroll, as effects such as latency in reaction and hand eye coordination take effect The invention features a method for associating a user selection with a data item while browsing data, comprising following steps: browsing history is stored, at least one data item is selected upon user input by a cursor and the data item or a group of data items selected by the user is determined based on the browsing history. The methods and arrangements of the invention allow the intended user selections to be resolved from selections that are made at high scrolling speeds or during motion guiding and typically contain error, and therefore allows the user to both scroll data fast and manipulate it easily and intuitively during scrolling or browsing.
