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

摘要

User-selection of a data value within a range of data values is permitted via a graphical user interface of a computer. A user command is received to move a presently displayed value forward or backward within the range. An acceleration table is accessed based on the length of time the user has issued the command to obtain an index value which is then used to access a second table to obtain a delta value corresponding to the index value. The presently displayed value is then changed based on this delta value.
