发明名称 Sliderbar expanding dialogues to expose of hide dialogue content
摘要 The present invention relates to the display of information on a screen of a computing device and in particular to method and system for displaying information including a preprogrammed expansion or reduction of the quantity of displayed information in response to an user action. In order to increase the user comfort it is proposed to provide an user interface setting means (10,20) that enables a control element (10) thereof, e.g. a slider (10) within a slider bar (20), a lever or wheel to be turned, i.e., to be moved within a predetermined setting range, and stepwise expanding or reducing the displayed information within a respective expansion range in response to respective user-initiated movements of said control element (20), without a separate user action being required for any transition between the expansion or reduction steps. Further, a quick overview about the quantity of available information can be achieved when a user explores the expansion range just by easily moving the control element (20), as e.g. the slider (20).
