Patent ID: 6907575

Claim:
A graphical user interface (“GUI”) for selecting logical elements from a list comprising: a selection region on a data processing device's display; and a selection highlighter configured to move from one element to the next within said selection region responsive to a user input, wherein if said selection highlighter reaches boundaries that define the selection region, said selection highlighter ceases to move and elements within said list move through said selection highlighter, thereby becoming highlighted, wherein said selection region comprises a limited portion of said data processing device's display such that a first set of one or more elements viewable on said display are outside of said boundaries of said selection region and a second set of one or more elements viewable on said display are within said selection region, and wherein, when a first element in said list of elements is viewable at the top of said display, said selection highlighter moves outside of said selection region responsive to an upward-scrolling input, and when a last element in said list of elements is viewable at the bottom of said display, said selection highlighter moves outside of said selection region responsive to a downward-scrolling input.
