Positioning pads are displayed via a display device to facilitate movement of a position of interest (e.g., as indicated by a cursor) with respect to a structured object also displayed via the display device. The structured object is analyzed to determine predicted locations to which a user may subsequently wish to navigate the position of interest, and positioning pads are displayed at, or associated with, the predicted locations. When activation of a positioning pad is detected, (i) the position of interest is moved to the location of, or associated with, the positioning pad, and (ii) the positioning pad is no longer displayed via the display device. |

1. A method for facilitating movement of a position of interest displayed via a display device, the method comprising:
displaying, via the display device, a structured object having a plurality of levels in a hierarchy or corresponding to a multi-dimensional coordinate space; analyzing, with one or more processors, the structured object to determine the plurality of levels, including determining a first level and a second level in the plurality of levels; determining, with one or more processors, which level in the plurality of levels the position of interest is currently located; and when it is determined that the position of interest is currently located in the first level:
determining, with the one or more processors, a first next location in the second level of the object based on the determination that a current location of the position of interest is in the first level, the first next location being a prediction of where the user will choose to move the position of interest subsequently from the current location,displaying, via the display device, a first positioning pad corresponding to the first next location, wherein the first positioning pad is to enable moving the position of interest to the first next location, andwhen activation of the first positioning pad is detected, (i) moving the position of interest from the current location in the first level to the first next location in the second level, and (ii) no longer displaying the first positioning pad via the display device. |
