Method and apparatus for presenting a data range for user selection of a value within the range via a graphical user interface

摘要

A method is provided of permitting user-selection of a data value within a range of data values via a graphical user interface of a computer, said method having steps of: receiving a user command to move a presently displayed value forward or backward within said range; accessing an acceleration table based on the length of time the user has issued the command to obtain an index value; using the index value to access a second table to obtain a delta value corresponding to said index value; changing the presently displayed value based on this delta value.
