Abstract

In accordance with some embodiments, a computer-implemented method is performed at a portable electronic device with a touch screen display. The method includes: displaying a window on the touch-sensitive display; detecting a single-finger gesture on the touch-sensitive display; in response to the detected single-finger gesture on the touch-sensitive display, displaying a magnifying screen that includes an expanded view of a first portion of the window that comprises at least a part of the texts and an insertion marker; detecting movement of a single finger on the touch-sensitive display while the magnifying screen is displayed; and in response to detecting the movement of the single finger on the touch-sensitive display, replacing the display of the expanded view of the first portion of the window with an expanded view of the second portion of the window in the magnifying screen.

Claims (53)

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

display a window on the touch-sensitive display, the window comprising texts and an insertion marker;

detect a single-finger gesture on the touch-sensitive display;

in response to the detected single-finger gesture on the touch-sensitive display, display a magnifying screen that includes an expanded view of a first portion of the window that comprises at least a part of the texts and the insertion marker;

detect movement of a single finger on the touch-sensitive display while the magnifying screen is displayed; and

in response to detecting the movement of the single finger on the touch-sensitive display, replace the display of the expanded view of the first portion of the window with an expanded view of a second portion of the window in the magnifying screen.

2. The medium of claim 1 , wherein:

the single finger gesture includes a sustained single-finger contact with the touch screen display, and

the detected movement of the single finger is continuous movement of the sustained single-finger contact, without breaking the contact with the touch screen display.

3. The medium of claim 1 , wherein the single-finger gesture comprises a tap and hold gesture of a single finger on the touch-sensitive display.

4. The medium of claim 1 , wherein the magnifying screen has a predefined shape.

5. The medium of claim 1 , wherein the magnifying screen that includes the expanded view of the first portion of the window is displayed along with an original view of the second portion of the window.

6. The medium of claim 1 , wherein the one or more programs comprise instructions, which when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the device to:

detect an input that corresponds to a request to end the magnification;

in response to detecting the input that corresponds to the request to end the magnification, cease to display the magnifying screen and returning to an original view of the window.

7. The medium of claim 6 , wherein the input is a lift off of the single finger from the touch-sensitive display.

8. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

at a portable electronic device with a touch-sensitive display,

displaying a window on the touch-sensitive display;

detecting a single-finger gesture on the touch-sensitive display;

in response to the detected single-finger gesture on the touch-sensitive display, displaying a magnifying screen that includes an expanded view of a first portion of the window that comprises at least a part of the texts and an insertion marker;

detecting movement of a single finger on the touch-sensitive display while the magnifying screen is displayed; and

in response to detecting the movement of the single finger on the touch-sensitive display, replacing the display of the expanded view of the first portion of the window with an expanded view of a second portion of the window in the magnifying screen.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein:

the single finger gesture includes a sustained single-finger contact with the touch screen display, and

the detected movement of the single finger is continuous movement of the sustained single-finger contact, without breaking the contact with the touch screen display.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the single-finger gesture comprises a tap and hold gesture of a single finger on the touch-sensitive display.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the magnifying screen has a predefined shape.

12. The method of claim 8 , wherein the magnifying screen that includes the expanded view of the first portion of the window is displayed along with an original view of the second portion of the window.

13. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

detecting an input that corresponds to a request to end the magnification;

in response to detecting the input that corresponds to the request to end the magnification, cease to display the magnifying screen and returning to an original view of the window.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the input is a lift off of the single finger from the touch-sensitive display.

15. A portable electronic device, comprising:

a touch-sensitive display;

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 window on the touch-sensitive display;

detecting a single-finger gesture on the touch-sensitive display;

in response to the detected single-finger gesture on the touch-sensitive display, displaying a magnifying screen that includes an expanded view of a first portion of the window that comprises at least a part of the texts and an insertion marker;

detecting movement of a single finger on the touch-sensitive display while the magnifying screen is displayed; and

in response to detecting the movement of the single finger on the touch-sensitive display, replacing the display of the expanded view of the first portion of the window with an expanded view of a second portion of the window in the magnifying screen.

16. The device of claim 15 , wherein:

the single finger gesture includes a sustained single-finger contact with the touch screen display, and

the detected movement of the single finger is continuous movement of the sustained single-finger contact, without breaking the contact with the touch screen display.

17. The device of claim 15 , wherein the single-finger gesture comprises a tap and hold gesture of a single finger on the touch-sensitive display.

18. The device of claim 15 , wherein the magnifying screen has a predefined shape.

19. The device of claim 15 , wherein the magnifying screen that includes the expanded view of the first portion of the window is displayed along with an original view of the second portion of the window.

20. The device of claim 15 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:

detecting an input that corresponds to a request to end the magnification;

in response to detecting the input that corresponds to the request to end the magnification, cease to display the magnifying screen and returning to an original view of the window.

21. The device of claim 20 , wherein the input is a lift off of the single finger from the touch-sensitive display.
