Appeal No. 2007-0095
Application No. 09/843,566
The invention is directed to a browser operating in two
different modes. One mode, a “thumbnail” mode, is presented in
addition to a normal window, or as a small window on the screen
in the case of a small screen device. The page image presented
by the browser is logically divided into segments through use of
the thumbnail. The thumbnail image is divided into cells, one
cell for each page image segment. Together, the cells form a
grid. When a user selects a cell on the thumbnail, the browser
presents the associated segment of the page image to the user via
the user’s window or screen.
Representative independent claim 1 is reproduced as follows:
1. An apparatus, said apparatus comprising:
a processor; and
memory, said memory being connected to said processor; and
a browser stored in said memory, said browser presenting a
first window and a second window to a user, said first window
being divided into a plurality of cells, each of said cells being
associated with different segments of an image, said second
window being used to display one of said different segments to
said user.
