Abstract:
1. A method comprising: displaying a selection set in a linear orientation laterally on a display, the selection set including a plurality of selectable items; displaying a stationary selection marker on the display; receiving an input from a single pointing device, the input indicating movement right, left, upward, or downward; moving the selection set right relative to the stationary selection marker in response to movement of the single pointing device to the right, and moving the selection set left relative to the stationary selection marker in response to movement of the single pointing device to the left; zooming the selection set outward in response to the movement of the single pointing device downward, and zooming the selection set inward in response to the movement of the single pointing device upward, an amount of the zooming inward or outward of the selection set determined based on a combination of an amount of deflection and length of time of the deflection of the single pointing device that is also used to move the selection set to the right and left, zooming of the selection set outward causing reduced spacing between the plurality of items and quicker movement of the selection set left and right after the zooming of the selection set outward, and the zooming of the selection set inward causing increased spacing between the plurality of items and more accurate movement of the selection set left and right after zooming the selection set inward; displaying a copy of one of the selectable items of the selection set based on the one of the selectable items being positioned in proximity to the selection marker; receiving a selection input to select the one of the selectable items of the selection set that is located at the stationary selection marker; and performing an action corresponding to the one of the selectable items based on the selection of the one of the selectable items.
