发明名称 Method and apparatus for tab access and tab cycling in a pen-based computer system
摘要 A method implemented on a hand-held computer system for tab access to a desired portion of a list of items includes displaying the list of items on a display screen of the hand-held computer system, displaying a plurality of tabs on the display screen, and receiving a selection input with a stylus on one of the plurality of tabs, wherein the list of items scrolls to the portion of the list having as a first item an item with a first character that corresponds to one of at least two reference characters on the selected tab. A method for cycling through a series of reference characters on a tab displayed on a touch-sensitive display screen of a pen-based computer system includes determining whether a first character of a first item corresponds with one of the series of reference characters on a selected tab, and if so, determining which position in the series the first character holds, and scrolling the displayed list to a portion having a first item with a first character corresponding to a reference character having a next position in the series. A hand-held computer system includes a CPU, a memory in communication with the CPU, a display device in communication with the CPU, and a stylus interacting with the display device. The display device displays a list of items, and further displays a plurality of tabs, the tabs indexing the list of items and having at least two associated reference characters per tab. The stylus interacts with the display device to select one of the plurality of tabs, wherein the selection initiates scrolling to a portion of the list having an item with a first character that corresponds to one of the at least two associated reference characters on the selected tab.
