METHOD OF IMPROVED VIEWING OF VISUAL OBJECTS ON A DISPLAY, AND HANDHELD ELECTRONIC DEVICE

摘要

An improved handheld electronic device and method facilitate use of the handheld electronic device by visually outputting certain visual objects on the display in an enlarged fashion. Icons and clickable buttons can be enlarged when a visual focus is thereon to indicate that a received selection input will initiate the function represented by the icon or clickable button. In other situations, such as when a particular input field is the subject of an input focus, the label associated with the particular input field can be enlarged to thereby indicated that its associated input field is the subject of the input focus. In another situation the visual object that may be the subject of the visual focus of the system can be a sentence in a passage of text, with navigational or other inputs successively shifting the visual focus to successive sentences, and thereby causing the successive sentences to be depicted in an enlarged fashion.
