Patent ID: 8866973

Claim:
A method for zooming picture with a single key, comprising the steps of: a) connecting a handheld computer to a display and displaying a picture from the handheld computer and a zoom key superposed on the picture; b) defining a rectangular coordinate system in the picture with an origin at a center of the picture; c) defining the zoom key as a point P in the perpendicular coordinate system and defining coordinates thereof as (x, y); d) drawing a line through the point P and a reflection point Q at (−x, −y); e) defining points Q1 and Q2 on the line beside the point Q, wherein the point Q1 is between the origin and the point Q, the point Q is between the points Q1 and Q2, a distance d between the points Q and Q1 is the same as that between the points Q and Q2, and double the distance d is defined as an imaginary operating distance; and f) creating a zoom event object corresponding to the imaginary operating distance.
