Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Embodiments relate to a computer-implemented method for graphically displaying or presenting a fisheye-based view of a large data list on the limited content viewing area of a mobile device. At least a subset of data rows within the data list and graphical representations of a plurality of data fields of at least the subset of data rows are generated and graphically displayed using a graphical user interface of the mobile device. When a user selects a focus row from the displayed data rows, a fisheye-based view of the selected focus row is presented. The fisheye-based view and the graphical representations of the data fields provide the user with a focus-plus-context view of a large data list. Further, the graphical representations provide the user with meaningful information even when particular data items are too small to read specific values.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A computer-implemented method for displaying a fisheye-based view of a data list on a mobile device, comprising: accessing said data list on the mobile device, said data list comprising data rows, wherein each data row has a plurality of data fields; generating graphical representations of the plurality of data fields, including an index field by which the data rows are organized, for at least a subset of the data rows of said data list based on respective…
