Abstract

In one embodiment, a program is provided for browsing information on a hand-held device having a display. The program includes ( 1 ) displaying a portion of the page residing around the predefined point and having a shape similar to the shape of the display, ( 2 ) generating a mirror line by mirroring the reference line in relation to a line that is perpendicular to the display surface and travels via the reference point in response to tilting of the hand-held device in relation to the spatial initial state, ( 3 ) defining a hit point (xn,yn) where the mirror line hits the virtual surface and the page containing information; and ( 4 ) showing on the display at least a portion of the page around the hit point and having a shape similar to the shape of the display, the position of the hit point on the page to correspond to the position of the reference point on the display.

Claims (6)

1 . A computer program embodied on a computer-readable medium, wherein the computer program executes the program recorded in a computer-readable medium to perform a method for browsing information on a display of a hand-held device, the computer program:

displaying a portion of the page residing around the predefined point and having a shape similar to the shape of the display,

generating a mirror line by mirroring the reference line in relation to a line that is perpendicular to the display surface and travels via the reference point in response to tilting of the hand-held device in relation to the spatial initial state,

defining a hit point (xn,yn) where the mirror line hits the virtual surface and the page containing information; and

showing on the display at least a portion of the page around the hit point and having a shape similar to the shape of the display, the position of the hit point on the page to correspond to the position of the reference point on the display.

2 . A computer program according to claim 1 , wherein the computer program sets the initial state in a certain predefined angle in relation to the earth surface.
