Abstract

In accordance with some embodiments, a computer-implemented method for use in conjunction with a device with a touch screen display is disclosed. In the method, a movement of an object on or near the touch screen display is detected. In response to detecting the movement, an electronic document displayed on the touch screen display is translated in a first direction. If an edge of the electronic document is reached while translating the electronic document in the first direction while the object is still detected on or near the touch screen display, an area beyond the edge of the document is displayed. After the object is no longer detected on or near the touch screen display, the document is translated in a second direction until the area beyond the edge of the document is no longer displayed.

Claims (46)

1. An electronic device, comprising:

a touch screen display;

one or more processors; and

memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:

displaying an electronic document at a first magnification on the touch screen display;

detecting a gesture on the touch screen display corresponding to a command to zoom out by a user-specified amount;

in response to detecting the gesture, displaying the electronic document at a magnification less than the first magnification;

if a document length or a document width is entirely displayed while the gesture is still detected on the touch screen display, displaying an indication that the document length or the document width is entirely displayed; and

in response to detecting termination of the gesture, ceasing display of the indication that the document length or the document width is entirely displayed.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the gesture comprises a pinching gesture.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the device is a portable multifunction device.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein displaying the indication includes displaying a colored indication visually distinct from the electronic document.

5. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the electronic document is a web page.

6. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the electronic document is a digital image.

7. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the electronic document is a word processing document, a spreadsheet, an email, or a presentation document.

8. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the electronic document includes a list of items.

9. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the indication that the document length or the document width is entirely displayed is an indication that the gesture continues to be detected on the touch screen display after the document length or the document width is entirely displayed.

10. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured to be executed by one or more processors of an electronic device with a touch screen display, the one or more programs including instructions for:

displaying an electronic document at a first magnification on the touch screen display;

detecting a gesture on the touch screen display corresponding to a command to zoom out by a user-specified amount;

in response to detecting the gesture, displaying the electronic document at a magnification less than the first magnification;

if a document length or a document width is entirely displayed while the gesture is still detected on the touch screen display, displaying an indication that the document length or the document width is entirely displayed; and

in response to detecting termination of the gesture, ceasing display of the indication that the document length or the document width is entirely displayed.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the gesture comprises a pinching gesture.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the device is a portable multifunction device.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 10 , wherein displaying the indication includes displaying a colored indication visually distinct from the electronic document.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the electronic document is a web page.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the electronic document is a digital image.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the electronic document is a word processing document, a spreadsheet, an email, or a presentation document.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the electronic document includes a list of items.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the indication that the document length or the document width is entirely displayed is an indication that the gesture continues to be detected on the touch screen display after the document length or the document width is entirely displayed.

19. A method, comprising:

at an electronic device having a touch screen display:

displaying an electronic document at a first magnification on the touch screen display;

detecting a gesture on the touch screen display corresponding to a command to zoom out by a user-specified amount;

in response to detecting the gesture, displaying the electronic document at a magnification less than the first magnification;

if a document length or a document width is entirely displayed while the gesture is still detected on the touch screen display, displaying an indication that the document length or the document width is entirely displayed; and

in response to detecting termination of the gesture, ceasing display of the indication that the document length or the document width is entirely displayed.

20. The method of claim 19 , wherein the gesture comprises a pinching gesture.

21. The method of claim 19 , wherein the device is a portable multifunction device.

22. The method of claim 19 , wherein displaying the indication includes displaying a colored indication visually distinct from the electronic document.

23. The method of claim 19 , wherein the electronic document is a web page.

24. The method of claim 19 , wherein the electronic document is a digital image.

25. The method of claim 19 , wherein the electronic document is a word processing document, a spreadsheet, an email, or a presentation document.

26. The method of claim 19 wherein the electronic document includes a list of items.

27. The method of claim 19 , wherein the indication that the document length or the document width is entirely displayed is an indication that the gesture continues to be detected on the touch screen display after the document length or the document width is entirely displayed.
