Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method of accessing, processing, and outputting data on a graphical output device for a user, the method comprising: presenting on the graphical output device a first portion of a data object in a window, the data object containing a plurality of data object items, at least one of the data object items being sought by the user, the data object containing more data object items than being presentable in said window at a given moment in time; providing on the graphical output device at least one control element, the control element being arranged to be activated by a user-operated input device in order to generate request signals upon such activation; effecting, upon generating each of said request signals, a scroll step having a predetermined step size, towards the data object item sought by the user; and presenting another portion of the data object in the window at least partially differing from the first portion of the data object, the step size between subsequently presented portions of the data object decreasing automatically based on the number of user generated request signals and number of data object items remaining in a scroll direction to effect a set of scroll steps towards the sought data object item among the data object items.
