Abstract

An electronic device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface displays a page of a first multi-page section of a document and a navigation bar configured to navigate through only pages in the first multi-page section of the document. The device detects a predefined gesture at a location on the touch-sensitive surface that corresponds to a predefined portion of the navigation bar. In response to detecting the predefined gesture, the device displays a navigation user interface that enables selection of a page of the document that is outside of the first multi-page section. The device receives an input in the navigation user interface that indicates selection of a page of a second multi-page section of the document outside of the first multi-page section. In response to receiving the input, the device displays the selected page of the second multi-page section of the document.

Claims (39)

1. An electronic device, comprising:

a display;

a touch-sensitive surface;

one or more processors;

memory; and

one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs are stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:

displaying a page of a first multi-page section of a document and a section navigation bar configured to navigate through only pages in the first multi-page section of the document, wherein the document includes a plurality of multi-page sections between a beginning of the document and an end of the document;

detecting a predefined gesture at a location on the touch-sensitive surface that corresponds to a predefined portion of the section navigation bar;

in response to detecting the predefined gesture, displaying a document navigation user interface that enables selection of a page of the document that is outside of the first multipage section, wherein the document navigation user interface is distinct and separate from the section navigation bar, wherein the document navigation user interface was not displayed immediately prior to detecting the predefined gesture;

receiving an input in the document navigation user interface that indicates selection of a page of a second multi-page section of the document outside of the first multi-page section; and

in response to receiving the input, displaying the selected page of the second multipage section of the document.

2. The device of claim 1 , including instructions for, in response to receiving the input, ceasing to display the page of the first multi-page section.

3. The device of claim 1 , including instructions for, in response to receiving the input, displaying a section navigation bar for navigating through only pages of the second multi-page section of the document.

4. The device of claim 1 , wherein the predefined gesture is one of: a tap and hold gesture, a single tap gesture, or a double tap gesture.

5. The device of claim 1 , wherein the predefined portion of the section navigation bar is a progress indicator of the section navigation bar.

6. The device of claim 1 , wherein the predefined portion of the section navigation bar is an end of the section navigation bar.

7. The device of claim 1 , wherein the predefined portion of the section navigation bar is a current page indicator on the section navigation bar.

8. The device of claim 1 , wherein the document navigation user interface includes a text entry box for entering a page number corresponding to the page of the second multi-page section.

9. The device of claim 1 , wherein the document navigation user interface includes representations of one or more sections of the document outside of the first multi-page section.

10. The device of claim 1 , wherein the document navigation user interface includes representations of one or more pages of the document outside of the first multi-page section.

11. A method, comprising: at an electronic device having a display and a touch-sensitive surface:

displaying a page of a first multi-page section of a document and a section navigation bar configured to navigate through only pages in the first multi-page section of the document, wherein the document includes a plurality of multi-page sections between a beginning of the document and an end of the document;

detecting a predefined gesture at a location on the touch-sensitive surface that corresponds to a predefined portion of the section navigation bar;

in response to detecting the predefined gesture, displaying a navigation user interface that enables selection of a page of the document that is outside of the first multipage section, wherein the document navigation user interface is distinct and separate from the section navigation bar, wherein the document navigation user interface was not displayed immediately prior to detecting the predefined gesture;

receiving an input in the document navigation user interface that indicates selection of a page of a second multi-page section of the document outside of the first multi-page section; and

in response to receiving the input, displaying the selected page of the second multi-page section of the document.

12. A graphical user interface on an electronic device with a display, a touch-sensitive surface, a memory, and one or more processors to execute one or more programs stored in the memory, the graphical user interface comprising:

a page of a first multi-page section of a document and a section navigation bar configured to navigate through only pages in the first multi-page section of the document, wherein the document includes a plurality of multi-page sections between a beginning of the document and an end of the document;

wherein:

a predefined gesture is detected at a location on the touch-sensitive surface that corresponds to a predefined portion of the section navigation bar;

in response to detecting the predefined gesture, a document navigation user interface that enables selection of a page of the document that is outside of the first multi-page section is displayed, wherein the document navigation user interface is distinct and separate from the section navigation bar, wherein the document navigation user interface was not displayed immediately prior to detecting the predefined gesture;

an input that indicates selection of a page of a second multi-page section of the document outside of the first multi-page section is received in the document navigation user interface; and

in response to receiving the input, the selected page of the second multi-page section of the document is displayed.

13. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions, which when executed by an electronic device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface, cause the device to:

display a page of a first multi-page section of a document and a section navigation bar configured to navigate through only pages in the first multi-page section of the document, wherein the document includes a plurality of multi-page sections between a beginning of the document and an end of the document;

detect a predefined gesture at a location on the touch-sensitive surface that corresponds to a predefined portion of the section navigation bar;

in response to detecting the predefined gesture, display a document navigation user interface that enables selection of a page of the document that is outside of the first multi-page section, wherein the document navigation user interface is distinct and separate from the section navigation bar, wherein the document navigation user interface was not displayed immediately prior to detecting the predefined gesture;

receive an input in the document navigation user interface that indicates selection of a page of a second multi-page section of the document outside of the first multi-page section; and

in response to receiving the input, display the selected page of the second multi-page section of the document.
