Semantic zoom linguistic helpers

Description

BACKGROUND

Users have access to an ever increasing variety of content. Additionally, the amount of content that is available to a user is ever increasing. For example, a user may access a variety of different documents at work, a multitude of songs at home, story a variety of photos on a mobile phone, and so on.

However, traditional techniques that were employed by computing devices to navigate through this content may become overburdened when confronted with the sheer amount of content that even a casual user may access in a typical day. Therefore, it may be difficult for the user to locate content of interest, which may lead to user frustration and hinder the user's perception and use of the computing device.

SUMMARY

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Overview

The amount of content that even casual users access in a typical day is ever increasing. Consequently, traditional techniques that were utilized to navigate through this content could become overwhelmed and result in user frustration.

Semantic zoom techniques are described in the following discussion. In one or more implementations, the techniques may be used to navigate within a view. With semantic zoom, users can navigate through content by “jumping” to places within the view as desired. Additionally, these techniques may allow users to adjust how much content is represented at a given time in a user interface as well as the amount of information provided to describe the content. Therefore, it may provide users with the confidence to invoke semantic zoom to jump, and then return to their content. Further, semantic zoom may be used to provide an overview of the content, which may help increase a user's confidence when navigating through the content. Additional discussion of semantic zoom techniques may be found in relation to the following sections.

In the following discussion, an example environment is first described that is operable to employ the semantic zoom techniques described herein. Example illustrations of gestures and procedures involving the gestures and other inputs are then described, which may be employed in the example environment as well as in other environments. Accordingly, the example environment is not limited to performing the example techniques. Likewise, the example procedures are not limited to implementation in the example environment.

Example Environment

FIG. 1 is an illustration of an environment 100 in an example implementation that is operable to employ semantic zoom techniques described herein. The illustrated environment 100 includes an example of a computing device 102 that may be configured in a variety of ways. For example, the computing device 102 may be configured to include a processing system and memory. Thus, the computing device 102 may be configured as a traditional computer (e.g., a desktop personal computer, laptop computer, and so on), a mobile station, an entertainment appliance, a set-top box communicatively coupled to a television, a wireless phone, a netbook, a game console, and so forth as further described in relation to FIGS. 19 and 20.

Accordingly, the computing device 102 may range from full resource devices with substantial memory and processor resources (e.g., personal computers, game consoles) to a low-resource device with limited memory and/or processing resources (e.g., traditional set-top boxes, hand-held game consoles). The computing device 102 may also relate to software that causes the computing device 102 to perform one or more operations.

The computing device 102 is also illustrated as including an input/output module 104. The input/output module 104 is representative of functionality relating to inputs detected by the computing device 102. For example, the input/output module 104 may be configured as part of an operating system to abstract functionality of the computing device 102 to applications 106 that are executed on the computing device 102.

The input/output module 104, for instance, may be configured to recognize a gesture detected through interaction with a display device 108 (e.g., using touchscreen functionality) by a user's hand 110. Thus, the input/output module 104 may be representative of functionality to identify gestures and cause operations to be performed that correspond to the gestures. The gestures may be identified by the input/output module 104 in a variety of different ways. For example, the input/output module 104 may be configured to recognize a touch input, such as a finger of a user's hand 110 as proximal to a display device 108 of the computing device 102 using touchscreen functionality.

The touch input may also be recognized as including attributes (e.g., movement, selection point, and so on) that are usable to differentiate the touch input from other touch inputs recognized by the input/output module 104. This differentiation may then serve as a basis to identify a gesture from the touch inputs and consequently an operation that is to be performed based on identification of the gesture.

For example, a finger of the user's hand 110 is illustrated as being placed proximal to the display device 108 and moved to the left, which is represented by an arrow. Accordingly, detection of the finger of the user's hand 110 and subsequent movement may be recognized by the input/output module 104 as a “pan” gesture to navigate through representations of content in the direction of the movement. In the illustrated instance, the representations are configured as tiles that are representative of items of content in a file system of the computing device 102. The items may be stored locally in memory of the computing device 102, remotely accessible via a network, represent devices that are communicatively coupled to the computing device 102, and so on. Thus, a variety of different types of gestures may be recognized by the input/output module 104, such a gestures that are recognized from a single type of input (e.g., touch gestures such as the previously described drag-and-drop gesture) as well as gestures involving multiple types of inputs, e.g., compound gestures.

A variety of other inputs may also be detected and processed by the input/output module 104, such as from a keyboard, cursor control device (e.g., mouse), stylus, track pad, and so on. In this way, the applications 106 may function without “being aware” of how operations are implemented by the computing device 102. Although the following discussion may describe specific examples of gesture, keyboard, and cursor control device inputs, it should be readily apparent that these are but a few of a variety of different examples that are contemplated for use with the semantic zoom techniques described herein.

The input/output module 104 is further illustrated as including a semantic zoom module 114. The semantic zoom module 114 is representative of functionality of the computing device 102 to employ semantic zoom techniques described herein. Traditional techniques that were utilized to navigate through data could be difficult to implement using touch inputs. For example, it could be difficult for users to locate a particular piece of content using a traditional scrollbar.

Semantic zoom techniques may be used to navigate within a view. With semantic zoom, users can navigate through content by “jumping” to places within the view as desired. Additionally, semantic zoom may be utilized without changing the underlying structure of the content. Therefore, it may provide users with the confidence to invoke semantic zoom to jump, and then return to their content. Further, semantic zoom may be used to provide an overview of the content, which may help increase a user's confidence when navigating through the content. The semantic zoom module 114 may be configured to support a plurality of semantic views. Further, the semantic zoom module 114 may generate the semantic view “beforehand” such that it is ready to be displayed once a semantic swap is triggered as described above.

The display device 108 is illustrated as displaying a plurality of representations of content in a semantic view, which may also be referenced as a “zoomed out view” in the following discussion. The representations are configured as tiles in the illustrated instance. The tiles in the semantic view may be configured to be different from tiles in other views, such as a start screen which may include tiles used to launch applications. For example, the size of these tiles may be set at 27.5 percent of their “normal size.”

In one or more implementations, this view may be configured as a semantic view of a start screen. The tiles in this view may be made up of color blocks that are the same as the color blocks in the normal view but do not contain space for display of notifications (e.g., a current temperature for a tile involving weather), although other examples are also contemplated. Thus, the tile notification updates may be delayed and batched for later output when the user exits the semantic zoom, i.e., the “zoomed-in view.”

If a new application is installed or removed, the semantic zoom module 114 may add or remove the corresponding tile from the grid regardless of a level of “zoom” as further described below. Additionally, the semantic zoom module 114 may then re-layout the tiles accordingly.

In one or more implementations, the shape and layout of groups within the grid will remain unchanged in the semantic view as in a “normal” view, e.g., one hundred percent view. For instance, the number of rows in the grid may remain the same. However, since more tiles will be viewable more tile information may be loaded by the sematic zoom module 114 than in the normal view. Further discussion of these and other techniques may be found beginning in relation to FIG. 2.

Generally, any of the functions described herein can be implemented using software, firmware, hardware (e.g., fixed logic circuitry), or a combination of these implementations. The terms “module,” “functionality,” and “logic” as used herein generally represent software, firmware, hardware, or a combination thereof. In the case of a software implementation, the module, functionality, or logic represents program code that performs specified tasks when executed on a processor (e.g., CPU or CPUs). The program code can be stored in one or more computer readable memory devices. The features of the semantic zoom techniques described below are platform-independent, meaning that the techniques may be implemented on a variety of commercial computing platforms having a variety of processors.

For example, the computing device 102 may also include an entity (e.g., software) that causes hardware of the computing device 102 to perform operations, e.g., processors, functional blocks, and so on. For example, the computing device 102 may include a computer-readable medium that may be configured to maintain instructions that cause the computing device, and more particularly hardware of the computing device 102 to perform operations. Thus, the instructions function to configure the hardware to perform the operations and in this way result in transformation of the hardware to perform functions. The instructions may be provided by the computer-readable medium to the computing device 102 through a variety of different configurations.

One such configuration of a computer-readable medium is signal bearing medium and thus is configured to transmit the instructions (e.g., as a carrier wave) to the hardware of the computing device, such as via a network. The computer-readable medium may also be configured as a computer-readable storage medium and thus is not a signal bearing medium. Examples of a computer-readable storage medium include a random-access memory (RAM), read-only memory (ROM), an optical disc, flash memory, hard disk memory, and other memory devices that may use magnetic, optical, and other techniques to store instructions and other data.

FIG. 2 depicts an example implementation 200 of semantic zoom in which a gesture is utilized to navigate between views of underlying content. The views are illustrated in this example implementation using first, second, and third stages 202, 204, 206. At the first stage 202, the computing device 102 is illustrated as displaying a user interface on the display device 108. The user interface includes representations of items accessible via a file system of the computing device 102, illustrated examples of which include documents and emails as well as corresponding metadata. It should be readily apparent, however, that a wide variety of other content including devices may be represented in the user interface as previously described, which may then be detected using touchscreen functionality.

A user's hand 110 is illustrated at the first stage 202 as initiating a “pinch” gesture to “zoom out” a view of the representations. The pinch gesture is initiated in this instance by placing two fingers of the user's hand 110 proximal to the display device 108 and moving them toward each other, which may then be detected using touchscreen functionality of the computing device 102.

At the second stage 204, contact points of the user's fingers are illustrated using phantom circles with arrows to indicate a direction of movement. As illustrated, the view of the first stage 202 that includes icons and metadata as individual representations of items is transitioned to a view of groups of items using single representations in the second stage 204. In other words, each group of items has a single representation. The group representations include a header that indicates a criterion for forming the group (e.g., the common trait) and have sizes that are indicative of a relative population size.

At the third stage 206, the contact points have moved even closer together in comparison to the second stage 204 such that a greater number of representations of groups of items may be displayed concurrently on the display device 108. Upon releasing the gesture, a user may navigate through the representations using a variety of techniques, such as a pan gesture, click-and-drag operation of a cursor control device, one or more keys of a keyboard, and so on. In this way, a user may readily navigate to a desired level of granularity in the representations, navigate through the representations at that level, and so on to locate content of interest. It should be readily apparent that these steps may be reversed to “zoom in” the view of the representations, e.g., the contact points may be moved away from each other as a “reverse pinch gesture” to control a level of detail to display in the semantic zoom.

Thus, the semantic zoom techniques described above involved a semantic swap, which refers to a semantic transition between views of content when zooming “in” and “out”. The semantic zoom techniques may further increase the experience by leading into the transition by zooming in/out of each view. Although a pinch gesture was described this technique may be controlled using a variety of different inputs. For example, a “tap” gesture may also be utilized. In the tap gesture, a tap may cause a view to transition between views, e.g., zoomed “out” and “in” through tapping one or more representations. This transition may use the same transition animation that the pinch gesture leveraged as described above.

A reversible pinch gesture may also be supported by the semantic zoom module 114. In this example, a user may initiate a pinch gesture and then decide to cancel the gesture by moving their fingers in the opposite direction. In response, the semantic zoom module 114 may support a cancel scenario and transition to a previous view.

In another example, the semantic zoom may also be controlled using a scroll wheel and “ctrl” key combination to zoom in and out. In another example, a “ctrl” and “+” or “−” key combination on a keyboard may be used to zoom in or out, respectively. A variety of other examples are also contemplated.

Thresholds

The semantic zoom module 114 may employ a variety of different thresholds to manage interaction with the semantic zoom techniques described herein. For example, the semantic zoom module 114 may utilize a semantic threshold to specify a zoom level at which a swap in views will occur, e.g., between the first and second stages 202, 204. In one or more implementations this is distance based, e.g., dependent on an amount of movement in the contact points in the pinch gesture.

The semantic zoom module 114 may also employ a direct manipulation threshold to determine at which zoom level to “snap” a view when the input is finished. For instance, a user may provide a pinch gesture as previously described to navigate to a desired zoom level. A user may then release the gesture to navigate through representations of content in that view. The direct manipulation threshold may thus be used to determine at which level the view is to remain to support that navigation and a degree of zoom performed between semantic “swaps,” examples of which were shown in the second and third stages 204, 206.

Thus, once the view reaches a semantic threshold, the semantic zoom module 114 may cause a swap in semantic visuals. Additionally, the semantic thresholds may change depending on a direction of an input that defines the zoom. This may act to reduce flickering that can occur otherwise when the direction of the zoom is reversed.

In a first example illustrated in the example implementation 300 of FIG. 3, a first high-end semantic threshold 302 may be set, e.g., at approximately eighty percent of movement that may be recognized for a gesture by the semantic zoom module 114. For instance, if a user is originally in a one hundred percent view and started zooming out, a semantic swap may be triggered when the input reaches eighty percent as defined by the first high-end semantic threshold 302.

In a second example illustrated in the example implementation 400 of FIG. 4, a second high-end semantic threshold 402 may also be defined and leveraged by the semantic zoom module 114, which may be set higher than the first high-end semantic threshold 302, such as at approximately eighty-five percent. For instance, a user may start at a one hundred percent view and trigger the semantic swap at the first high-end semantic threshold 302 but not “let go” (e.g., is still providing inputs that define the gesture) and decide to reverse the zoom direction. In this instance, the input would trigger a swap back to the regular view upon reaching the second high-end semantic threshold 402.

Low end thresholds may also be utilized by the semantic zoom module 114. In a third example illustrated in the example implementation 500 of FIG. 5, a first low end semantic threshold 502 may be set, such as at approximately forty-five percent. If a user is originally in a semantic view at 27.5% and provides an input to start “zooming in,” a semantic swap may be triggered when the input reaches the first low end semantic threshold 502.

In a fourth example illustrated in the example implementation 600 of FIG. 6, a second low end semantic threshold 602 may also be defined, such as at approximately thirty-five percent. Like the previous example, a user may begin at a 27.5% semantic view (e.g., a start screen) and trigger the semantic swap, e.g., zoom percentage is greater than forty-five percent. Also, the user may continue to provide the input (e.g., button a mouse remains “clicked”, still “gesturing,” and so on) and then decide to reverse the zoom direction. The swap back to the 27.5% view may be triggered by the semantic zoom module 114 upon reaching the second low end semantic threshold.

Thus, in the examples shown and discussed in relation to FIGS. 2-6, semantic thresholds may be used to define when a semantic swap occurs during a semantic zoom. In between these thresholds, the view may continue to optically zoom in and zoom out in response to direct manipulation.

Snap Points

When a user provides an input to zoom in or out (e.g., moves their fingers in a pinch gesture), a displayed surface may be optically scaled accordingly by the semantic zoom module 114. However, when the input stops (e.g., a user lets go of the gesture), the semantic zoom module 114 may generate an animation to a certain zoom level, which may be referred to as a “snap point.” In one or more implementations, this is based on a current zoom percentage at which the input stopped, e.g., when a user “let go.”

A variety of different snap points may be defined. For example, the semantic zoom module 114 may define a one hundred percent snap point at which content is displayed in a “regular mode” that is not zoomed, e.g., has full fidelity. In another example, the semantic zoom module 114 may define a snap point that corresponds to a “zoom mode” at 27.5% that includes semantic visuals.

In one or more implementations, if there is less content than substantially consumes an available display area of the display device 108, the snap point may be set automatically and without user intervention by the semantic zoom module 114 to whatever value will cause the content to substantially “fill” the display device 108. Thus, in this example the content would not zoom less that the “zoom mode” of 27.5% but could be larger. Naturally, other examples are also contemplated, such as to have the semantic zoom module 114 choose one of a plurality of predefined zoom levels that corresponds to a current zoom level.

Thus, the semantic zoom module 114 may leverage thresholds in combination with snap points to determine where the view is going to land when an input stops, e.g., a user “let's go” of a gesture, releases a button of a mouse, stops providing a keyboard input after a specified amount of time, and so on. For example, if the user is zooming out and the zoom out percentage is greater than a high end threshold percentage and ceases the input, the semantic zoom module 114 may cause the view to snap back to a 100% snap point.

In another example, a user may provide inputs to zoom out and the zoom out percentage is less than a high end threshold percentage, after which the user may cease the inputs. In response, the semantic zoom module 114 may animate the view to the 27.5% snap point.

In a further example, if the user begins in the zoom view (e.g., at 27.5%) and starts zooming in at a percentage that is less than a low end semantic threshold percentage and stops, the semantic zoom module 114 may cause the view to snap back to the semantic view, e.g., 27.5%.

In yet another example, if the user begins in the semantic view (at 27.5%) and starts zooming in at a percentage that is greater than a low end threshold percentage and stops, the semantic zoom module 114 may cause the view to snap up to the 100% view.

Snap points may also act as a zoom boundary. If a user provides an input that indicates that the user is trying to “go past” these boundaries, for instance, the semantic zoom module 114 may output an animation to display an “over zoom bounce”. This may serve to provide feedback to let the user know that zoom is working as well as stop the user from scaling past the boundary.

Additionally, in one or more implementations the semantic zoom module 114 may be configured to respond to the computing device 102 going “idle.” For example, the semantic zoom module 114 may be in a zoom mode (e.g., 27.5% view), during which a session goes idle, such as due to a screensaver, lock screen, and so on. In response, the semantic zoom module 114 may exit the zoom mode and return to a one hundred percent view level. A variety of other examples are also contemplated, such as use of velocity detected through movements to recognize one or more gestures.

Gesture-Based Manipulation

Gestures used to interact with semantic zoom may be configured in a variety of ways. In a first example, a behavior is supported that upon detection of an input that causes a view to be manipulated “right away.” For example, referring back to FIG. 2 the views may begin to shrink as soon as an input is detected that the user has moved their fingers in a pinch gesture. Further, the zooming may be configured to “following the inputs as they happen” to zoom in and out. This is an example of a manipulation-based gesture that provides real-time feedback. Naturally, a reverse pinch gesture may also be manipulation based to follow the inputs.

As previously described, thresholds may also be utilized to determine “when” to switch views during the manipulation and real-time output. Thus, in this example a view may be zoomed through a first gesture that follows movement of a user as it happens as described in an input. A second gesture (e.g., a semantic swap gesture) may also be defined that involves the thresholds to trigger a swap between views as described above, e.g., a crossfade to another view.

In another example, a gesture may be employed with an animation to perform zooms and even swaps of views. For example, the semantic zoom module 114 may detect movement of fingers of a user's hand 110 as before as used in a pinch gesture. Once a defined movement has been satisfied for a definition of the gesture, the semantic zoom module 114 may output an animation to cause a zoom to be displayed. Thus, in this example the zoom does not follow the movement in real time, but may do so in near real time such that it may be difficult for a user to discern a difference between the two techniques. It should be readily apparent that this technique may be continued to cause a crossfade and swap of views. This other example may be beneficial in low resource scenarios to conserve resources of the computing device 102.

In one or more implementations, the semantic zoom module 114 may “wait” until an input completed (e.g., the fingers of the user's hand 110 are removed from the display device 108) and then use one or more of the snap points described above to determine a final view to be output. Thus, the animations may be used to zoom both in and out (e.g., switch movements) and the semantic zoom module 114 may cause output of corresponding animations.

Semantic View Interactions

Returning again to FIG. 1, the semantic zoom module 114 may be configured to support a variety of different interactions while in the semantic view. Further, these interactions may be set to be different from a “regular” one hundred percent view, although other examples are also contemplated in which the interactions are the same.

For example, tiles may not be launched from the semantic view. However, selecting (e.g., tapping) a tile may cause the view to zoom back to the normal view at a location centered on the tap location. In another example, if a user were to tap on a tile of the airplane in the semantic view of FIG. 1, once it zoomed in to a normal view, the airplane tile would still be close to a finger of the user's hand 110 that provided the tap. Additionally, a “zoom back in” may be centered horizontally at the tap location while vertical alignment may be based on the center of the grid.

As previously described, a semantic swap may also be triggered by a cursor control device, such as by pressing a modifier key on a keyboard and using a scroll wheel on a mouse simultaneously (e.g., a “CTRL +” and movement of a scroll wheel notch), “CTRL +” and track pad scroll edge input, selection of a semantic zoom 116 button, and so on. The key combination shortcut, for instance, may be used to toggle between the semantic views. To prevent users from entering an “in-between” state, rotation in the opposite direction may cause the semantic zoom module 114 to animate a view to a new snap point. However, a rotation in the same direction will not cause a change in the view or zoom level. The zoom may center on the position of the mouse. Additionally, a “zoom over bounce” animation may be used to give users feedback if users try to navigate past the zoom boundaries as previously described. The animation for the semantic transition may be a time based and involve an optical zoom followed by the cross-fade for the actual swap and then a continued optical zoom to the final snap point zoom level.

Semantic Zoom Centering and Alignment

When a semantic “zoom out” occurs, the zoom may center on a location of the input, such as a pinch, tap, cursor or focus position, and so on. A calculation may be made by the semantic zoom module 114 as to which group is closest to the input location. This group may then left align with the corresponding semantic group item that comes into view, e.g., after the semantic swap. For grouped grid views, the semantic group item may align with the header.

When a semantic “zoom in” occurs, the zoom may also be centered on the input location, e.g., the pinch, tap, cursor or focus position, and so on. Again, the semantic zoom module 114 may calculate which semantic group item is closest to the input location. This semantic group item may then left align with the corresponding group from the zoomed in view when it comes into view, e.g., after the semantic swap. For grouped grid views the header may align with the semantic group item.

As previously described, the semantic zoom module 114 may also support panning to navigate between items displayed at a desired level of zoom. An example of this is illustrated through the arrow to indicate movement of a finger of the user's hand 110. In one or more implementations, the semantic zoom module 114 may pre-fetch and render representation of content for display in the view, which may be based on a variety of criteria including heuristics, based on relative pan axes of the controls, and so on. This pre-fetching may also be leveraged for different zoom levels, such that the representations are “ready” for an input to change a zoom level, a semantic swap, and so on.

Additionally, in one or more additional implementations the semantic zoom module 114 may “hide” chrome (e.g., display of controls, headers, and so on), which may or may not relate to the semantic zoom functionality itself. For example, this semantic zoom 116 button may be hidden during a zoom. A variety of other examples are also contemplated.

Correction Animation

FIG. 7 depicts an example embodiment 700 of a correction animation that may be leveraged for semantic zoom. The example embodiment is illustrated through use of first, second, and third stages 702, 704, 706. At the first stage 702, a list of scrollable items is shown which include the names “Adam,” “Alan,” “Anton,” and “Arthur.” The name “Adam” is displayed against a left edge of the display device 108 and the name “Arthur” is displayed against a right edge of the display device 108.

A pinch input may then be received to zoom out from the name “Arthur.” In other words, fingers of a user's hand may be positioned over the display of the name “Arthur” and moved together. In this case, this may cause a crossfade and scale animation to be performed to implement a semantic swap, as shown in the second stage 704. At the second stage, the letters “A,” “B,” and “C” are displayed as proximal to a point at which the input is detected, e.g., as a portion of the display device 108 that was used to display “Arthur.” Thus, in this way the semantic zoom module 114 may ensure that the “A” is left-aligned with the name “Arthur.” At this stage, the input continues, e.g., the user has not “let go.”

A correction animation may then be utilized to “fill the display device 108” once the input ceases, e.g., the fingers of the users hand are removed from the display device 108. For example, an animation may be displayed in which the list “slides to the left” in this example as shown in the third stage 706. However, if a user had not “let go” and instead input a reverse-pinch gesture, the semantic swap animation (e.g., crossfade and scale) may be output to return to the first stage 702.

In an instance in which a user “let's go” before the cross-fade and scale animation has completed, the correction animation may be output. For example, both controls may be translated so before “Arthur” has faded out completely, the name would be displayed as shrinking and translating leftwards, so that the name remains aligned with the “A” the entire time as it was translated to the left.

For non-touch input cases (e.g., use of a cursor control device or keyboard) the semantic zoom module 114 may behave as if the user has “let go”, so the translation starts at the same time as the scaling and cross-fade animations.

Thus, the correction animation may be used for alignment of items between views. For example, items in the different views may have corresponding bounding rectangles that describe a size and position of the item. The semantic zoom module 114 may then utilize functionality to align items between the views so that corresponding items between views fit these bounding rectangles, e.g., whether left, center, or right aligned.

Returning again to FIG. 7, a list of scrollable items is displayed in the first stage 702. Without a correction animation, a zoom out from an entry on the right side of the display device (e.g., Arthur) would not line up a corresponding representation from a second view, e.g., the “A,” as it would align at a left edge of the display device 108 in this example.

Accordingly, the semantic zoom module 114 may expose a programming interface that is configured to return a vector that describes how far to translate the control (e.g., the list of scrollable items) to align the items between the views. Thus, the semantic zoom module 114 may be used to translate the control to “keep the alignment” as shown in the second stage 704 and upon release the semantic zoom module 114 may “fill the display” as shown in the third stage 706. Further discussion of the correction animation may be found in relation to the example procedures.

Cross-Fade Animation

FIG. 8 depicts an example implementation 800 in which a crossfade animation is shown that may be used as part of a semantic swap. This example implementation 800 is illustrated through the use of first, second, and third stages 802, 804, 806. A described previously, the crossfade animation may be implemented as part of a semantic swap to transition between views. The first, second, and third stages 802-806 of the illustrated implementation, for instance, may be used to transition between the views shown in the first and second stages 202, 204 of FIG. 2 in responsive to a pinch or other input (e.g., keyboard or cursor control device) to initiate a semantic swap.

At the first stage 802, representations of items in a file system are shown. An input is received that causes a crossfade animation 804 as shown at the second stage in which portioning of different views may be shown together, such as through use of opacity, transparency settings, and so on. This may be used to transition to the final view as shown in the third stage 806.

The cross fade animation may be implemented in a variety of ways. For example, a threshold may be used that is used to trigger output of the animation. In another example, the gesture may be movement based such that the opacity follows the inputs in real time. For example, different levels of opacity for the different view may be applied based on an amount of movement described by the input. Thus, as the movement is input opacity of the initial view may be decreased and the opacity of a final view may be increased. In one or more implementations, snap techniques may also be used to snap a view to either of the views based on the amount of movement when an input ceases, e.g., fingers of a user's hand are removed from the display device.

Focus

When a zoom in occurs, the semantic zoom module 114 may apply focus to the first item in the group that is being “zoomed in.” This may also be configured to fade after a certain time out or once the user starts interacting with the view. If focus has not been changed, then when a user zooms back in to the one hundred percent view the same item that had focus before the semantic swap will continue to have focus.

During a pinch gesture in the semantic view, focus may be applied around the group that is being “pinched over.” If a user were to move their finger over a different group before the transition, the focus indicator may be updated to the new group.

Semantic Headers

FIG. 9 depicts an example implementation 900 of a semantic view that includes semantic headers. The content for each semantic header can be provided in a variety of ways, such as to list a common criterion for a group defined by the header, by an end developer (e.g., using HTML), and so on.

In one or more implementations, a cross-fade animation used to transition between the views may not involve group headers, e.g., during a “zoom out.” However, once inputs have ceased (e.g., a user has “let go”) and the view has snapped the headers may be animated “back in” for display. If a grouped grid view is being swapped for the semantic view, for instance, the semantic headers may contain the item headers that were defined by the end developer for the grouped grid view. Images and other content may also be part of the semantic header.

Selection of a header (e.g., a tap, mouse-click or keyboard activation) may cause the view to zoom back to the 100% view with the zoom being centered on the tap, pinch or click location. Therefore, when a user taps on a group header in the semantic view that group appears near the tap location in the zoomed in view. An “X” position of the left edge of the semantic header, for instance, may line up with an “X” position of the left edge of the group in the zoomed in view. Users may also move from group to group using the arrow keys, e.g., using the arrow keys to move focus visuals between groups.

Templates

The semantic zoom module 114 may also support a variety of different templates for different layouts that may be leveraged by application developers. For example, an example of a user interface that employs such a template is illustrated in the example implementation 1000 of FIG. 10. In this example, the template includes tiles arranged in a grid with identifiers for the group, which in this case are letters and numbers. Tiles also include an item that is representative of the group if populated, e.g., an airplane for the “a” group but the “e” group does not include an item. Thus, a user may readily determine if a group is populated and navigate between the groups in this zoom level of the semantic zoom. In one or more implementations, the header (e.g., the representative items) may be specified by a developer of an application that leverages the semantic zoom functionality. Thus, this example may provide an abstracted view of a content structure and an opportunity for group management tasks, e.g., selecting content from multiple groups, rearranging groups, and so on.

Another example template is shown in the example embodiment 1100 of FIG. 11. In this example, letters are also shown that can be used to navigate between groups of the content and may thus provide a level in the semantic zoom. The letters in this example are formed into groups with larger letters acting as markers (e.g., signposts) such that a user may quickly locate a letter of interest and thus a group of interest. Thus, a semantic visual is illustrated that is made up of the group headers, which may be a “scaled up” version found in the 100% view.

Semantic Zoom Linguistic Helpers

As described above, semantic zoom may be implemented as a touch-first feature that allows users to obtain a global view of their content with a pinch gesture. Semantic zooms may be implemented by the semantic zoom module 114 to create an abstracted view of underlying content so that many items can fit in a smaller area while still being easily accessible at different levels of granularity. In one or more implementations, semantic zoom may utilize abstraction to group items into categories, e.g., by date, by first letter, and so on.

In the case of first-letter semantic zoom, each item may fall under a category determined by the first letter of its display name, e.g., “Green Bay” goes under a group header “G”. To perform this grouping, the semantic zoom module 114 may determine the two following data points: (1) the groups that will be used to represent the content in the zoomed view (e.g. the entire alphabet); and (2) a first letter of each item in the view.

In the case of English, generating a simple first-letter semantic zoom view may be implemented as follows:

- There are 28 groups
  - 26 Latin alphabet letters
  - 1 group for digits
  - 1 group for symbols
    
    However, other languages use different alphabets, and sometimes collate letters together, which may make it harder to identify the first letter of a given word. Therefore, the semantic zoom module 114 may employ a variety of techniques to address these different alphabets.

East Asian languages such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean may be problematic for first letter grouping. First, each of these languages makes use of Chinese ideographic (Han) characters, which include thousands of individual characters. A literate speaker of Japanese, for instance, is familiar at least two thousand individual characters and the number may be much higher for a speaker of Chinese. This means that given a list of items, there is a high probability that every word may start with a different character, such that an implementation of taking the first character may create a new group for virtually each entry in the list. Furthermore, if Unicode surrogate pairs are not taken into account and the first WCHAR is used solely, there may be cases where the grouping letter would resolve to a meaningless square box.

In another example, Korean, while occasionally using Han characters, primarily uses a native Hangul script. Although it is a phonetic alphabet, each of the eleven thousand plus Hangul Unicode characters may represent an entire syllable of two to five letters, which is referred to as “jamo.” East Asian sorting methods (except Japanese XJIS) may employ techniques for grouping Han/Hangul characters into 19-214 groups (based on phonetics, radical, or stroke count) that make intuitive sense to user of the East Asian alphabet.

In addition, East Asian languages often make sure of “full width” Latin characters that are square instead of rectangular to line up with square Chinese/Japanese/Korean characters, e.g.:

- Half width
- Full width

Therefore, unless width normalization is performed a half-width “A” group may be immediately followed by a full-width “A” group. However, users typically consider them to be the same letter, so it will look like an error to these users. The same applies to the two Japanese Kana alphabets (Hiragana and Katakana), which sort together and are to be normalized to avoid showing bad groups.

Additionally, use of a basic “pick the first letter” implementation may give inaccurate results for many European languages. For example, the Hungarian alphabet includes of the following 44 letters:

- A Á B C Cs D Dz Dzs E É F G Gy H I Í J K L Ly M N Ny O Ó Ö P (Q) R S Sz T Ty U Ú Ü V (W) (X) (Y) Z Zs
  
  Linguistically, each of these letters is a unique sorting element. Therefore, combining the letters “D”, “Dz”, and “Dzs” into the same group may look incorrect and be unintuitive to a typical Hungarian user. In some more extreme cases, there are some Tibetan “single letters” that include of more than 8 WCHARs. Some other languages with “multiple character” letters include: Khmer, Corsican, Breton, Mapudungun, Sorbian, Maori, Uyghur, Albanian, Croatian, Serbian, Bosnian, Czech, Danish, Greenlandic, Hungarian, Slovak, Spanish (Traditional), Welsh, Maltese, Vietnamese, and so on.

In another example, the Swedish alphabet includes the following letters:

- A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V X Y Z Å Ä Ö
  
  Note that “A” is a distinctly different letter from “Å” and “Ä” and that the latter two come after “Z” in the alphabet. While for English, the diacritics to treat “Ä” as “A” are removed since two groups are generally not desired for English. However, if the same logic is applied to Swedish, either duplicate “A” groups are positioned after “Z” or the language is incorrectly sorted. Similar situations may be encountered in quite a few other languages that treat certain accented characters as distinct letters, including Polish, Hungarian, Danish, Norwegian, and so forth.

The semantic zoom module 114 may expose a variety of APIs for use in sorting. For example, alphabet and first letter APIs may be exposed such that a developer may decide how the semantic zoom module 114 addresses items.

The semantic zoom module 114 may be implemented to generate alphabet tables, e.g., from a unisort.txt file in an operating system, such that these tables can be leveraged to provide alphabets as well as grouping services. This feature, for instance, may be used to parse the unisort.txt file and generate linguistically consistent tables. This may involve validating the default output against reference data (e.g., an outside source) and creating ad hoc exceptions when the standard ordering is not what users expect.

The semantic zoom module 114 may include an alphabet API which may be used to return what is considered to be the alphabet based on the locale/sort, e.g., the headings a person at that locale would typically see in a dictionary, phone book, and so on. If there is more than one representation for a given letter, the one recognized as most common may be used by the semantic zoom module 114. The following are a few examples for representative languages:

- Example (fr, en): A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
- Example (sp): A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
- Example (hn): A Á B C Cs D Dz Dzs E É F G Gy H I Í J K L Ly M N Ny O Ó Ö P (Q) R S Sz T Ty U Ú Ü V (W) (X) (Y) Z Zs
- Example (he):
- Example (ar):

For East Asian languages, the semantic zoom module 114 may return a list of the groups described above (e.g., the same table may drive both functions), although Japanese includes kana groups as well as following:

- Example (jp): A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
- In one or more implementations, the semantic zoom module 114 may include the Latin alphabet in each alphabet, including non-Latin ones, so as to provide a solution for file names, which often use Latin scripts.

Some languages consider two letters to be strongly different, but sort them together. In this case, the semantic zoom module 114 may communicate to users that the two letters are together using a composed display letter, e.g., for Russian “E, Ë.” For archaic and uncommon letters that sort between letters in modern usage, the semantic zoom module may group these letters with a previous letter.

For Latin letter-like symbols, the semantic zoom module 114 may treat these symbols according to the letters. The semantic zoom module 114, for instance, may employ “group with previous” semantics, e.g., to group ™ under “T.”

The semantic zoom module 114 may employ a mapping function to generate the view of the items. For example, the semantic zoom module 114 may normalize characters to an upper case, accents (e.g., if the language does not treat the particular accented letter as a distinct letter), width (e.g., convert full to half width Latin), and kana type (e.g., convert Japanese katakana to hiragana).

For languages that treat groups of letters as a single letter (e.g. Hungarian “dzs”), the semantic zoom module 114 may return these as the “first letter group” by the API. These may be processed via per-locale override tables, e.g., to check if the string would sort within the letter's “range.”

For Chinese/Japanese, the semantic zoom module 114 may return logical groupings of Chinese characters based on the sort. For example, a stroke count sort returns a group for each number of strokes, radical sort returns groups for Chinese character semantic components, phonetic sorts return by first letter of phonetic reading, and so on. Again, per-locale override tables may also be used. In other sorts (e.g., non-EA+Japanese XJIS, which do not have meaningful orderings of Chinese characters), a single custom character (Han) group may be used for each of the Chinese characters. For Korean, the semantic zoom module 114 may return groups for the initial Jamo letter in the Hangul syllable. Thus, the semantic zoom module 114 may generate letters that are closely aligned with an “alphabet function” for strings in the locale's native language.

First Letter Grouping

Applications may be configured to support use of the semantic zoom module 114. For example, an application 106 may be installed as part of a package that includes a manifest that includes capabilities specified by a developer of the application 106. One such functionality that may specified includes a phonetic name property. The phonetic name property may be used to specify a phonetic language to be used to generate groups and identifications of groups for a list of items. Thus, if the phonetic name property exists for an application, then its first letter will be used for sorting and grouping. If not, then the semantic zoom module 114 may fall back on the first letter of the display name, e.g., for 3rd-party legacy apps.

For uncurated data like filenames and 3rd-party legacy applications, the general solution for extracting the first letter of a localized string can be applied to most non-East Asian languages. The solution involves normalizing the first visible glyph and stripping diacritics (ancillary glyphs added to letters) which is described as follows.

For English and most other languages the first visible glyph may be normalized as follows:

- Upper case;
- Diacritic (if sortkey considers it a diacritic in the locale vs. a unique letter);
- Width (Half-width); and
- Kana type (Hiragana).

A variety of different techniques may be employed to strip diacritics. For example, a first such solution may involve the following:

- Generate the sort key;
- Look to see if the diacritic should be treated as a diacritic (e.g. ‘Å’ in English) or a letter (e.g. ‘Å’ in Swedish—which sorts after ‘Z’); and
- Convert to FormC to combine codepoints,
  - FormD to split them apart.

A second such solution may involve the following:

- Skip whitespace and non-glyphs;
- Use SHCharNextW on the glyph to the next character boundary (see Appendix);
- Generate sort key on the first glyph;
- Look at LCMapString to tell if it is a diacritic (observe sort weights);
- Normalize to FormD (NormalizeString);
- Perform second pass using GetStringType to remove all diacritics: C3_NonSpace|C3_Diacritic; and
- Use LCMapString to remove case, width and Kana type.

Additional solutions may also be utilized by the semantic zoom module 114, e.g., for first letter grouping of uncurated data in Chinese and Korean. For example, a grouping letter “override” table may be applied for certain locales and/or sort key ranges. These locales may include Chinese (e.g., simplified and traditional) as well as Korean. It may also include languages like Hungarian that have special double letter sorting, however these languages may use these exceptions in the override table for the language.

For example, override tables may be used to provide groupings for:

- First pinyin (Simplified Chinese);
- First Bopomofo letter (Traditional Chinese—Taiwan);
- Radical names/stroke counts (Traditional Chinese—Hong Kong);
- First Hangul jamo (Korean); and
- Languages like Hungarian that have double letter groupings (e.g., treat ‘ch’ as a single letter).

For Chinese, the semantic zoom module 114 may group by first pinyin letter for simplified Chinese, such as to convert to pinyin and use a sort-key table-based lookup to identify first pinyin character. Pinyin is a system for phonetically rendering Chinese ideographs in a Latin alphabet. For traditional Chinese (e.g., Taiwan), the semantic zoom module 114 may group by first Bopomofo letter for group by radical/stroke count by converting to Bopomofo and use a stoke-key table based lookup to identify the first Bopomofo character. Bopomofo provides a common name (e.g., like ABC) for the traditional Chinese phonetic syllabary. A radical is a classification for Chinese characters, e.g., which may be used for section headers in a Chinese dictionary. For traditional Chinese (e.g., Hong Kong), a sort-key table-based lookup may be used to identify a stroke character.

For Korean, the semantic zoom module 114 may sort Korean file names phonetically in Hangul since a single character is represented using two to five letters. For example, the semantic zoom module 114 may reduce to a first jamo letter (e.g., 19 initial consonants equals nineteen groups) through use of a sort-key table-based lookup to identify jamo groups. Jamo refers to a set of consonants and vowels used in Korean Hangul, which is the phonetic alphabet used to write the Korean language

In the case of Japanese, file name sorting may be a broken experience in conventional techniques. Like Chinese and Korean, Japanese files are intended to be sorted by pronunciation. However, the occurrence of kanji characters in Japanese file names may make sorting difficult without knowing the proper pronunciation. Additionally, kanji may have more than one pronunciation. In order to solve this problem, the semantic zoom module 114 may use a technique to reverse convert each file name via an IME to acquire a phonetic name, which may be then used to sort and group the files.

For Japanese, files may be placed into three groups and sorted by the semantic zoom module:

- Latin—grouped together in correct order;
- Kana—grouped together in correct order; and
- Kanji—grouped together in XJIS order (effectively random from a user perspective).
  
  Thus, the semantic zoom module 114 may employ these techniques to provide intuitive identifiers and groups to items of content.

Directional Hints

To provide directional hints to users, the semantic zoom module may employ a variety of different animations. For example, when a user is already in the zoomed out view and tries to zoom “further out” an under-bounce animation may be output by the semantic zoom module 114 in which the bounce is a scale down of the view. In another example, when the user is already in the zoomed in view and tries to zoom in further another over-bounce animation may be output where the bounce is a scale up of the view.

Further, the semantic zoom module 114 may employ one or more animations to indicate an “end” of the content is reached, such as a bounce animation. In one or more implementations, this animation is not limited to the “end” of the content but rather may be specified at different navigation points through the display of content. In this way, the semantic zoom module 114 may expose a generic design to applications 106 to make this functionality available with the applications 106 “knowing” how the functionality is implemented.

Programming Interface for Semantically Zoomable Controls

Semantic Zoom may allow efficient navigation of long lists. However, by its very nature, semantic zooming involves a non-geometric mapping between a “zoomed in” view and its “zoomed out” (a.k.a. “semantic”) counterpart. Accordingly, a “generic” implementation may not be well suited for each instance, since domain knowledge may be involved to determine how items in one view map to those of the other, and how to align the visual representations of two corresponding items to convey their relationship to a user during the zoom.

Accordingly, in this section an interface is described that includes a plurality of different methods that are definable by a control to enable use as a child view of a semantic zoom control by the semantic zoom module 114. These methods enable the semantic zoom module 114 to determine an axis or axes along which the control is permitted to pan, notify the control when a zoom is in progress, and allow the views to align themselves appropriately when switching from one zoom level to another.

This interface may be configured to leverage bounding rectangles of items as a common protocol for describing item positions, e.g., the semantic zoom module 114 may transform these rectangles between coordinate systems. Similarly, the notion of an item may be abstract and interpreted by the controls. The application may also transform the representations of the items as passed from one control to the other, allowing a wider range of controls to be used together as “zoomed in” and “zoomed out” views.

In one or more implementations, controls implement a “ZoomableView” interface to be semantically zoomable. These controls may be implemented in a dynamically-typed language (e.g., dynamically-typed language) in a form of a single public property named “zoomableView” without a formal concept of an interface. The property may be evaluated to an object that has several methods attached to it. It is these methods that one would normally think of as “the interface methods”, and in a statically-typed language such as C++ or C#, these methods would be direct members of an “IZoomableView” interface that would not implement a public “zoomableView” property.

In the following discussion, the “source” control is the one that is currently visible when a zoom is initiated, and the “target” control is the other control (the zoom may ultimately end up with the source control visible, if the user cancels the zoom). The methods are as follows using a C#-like pseudocode notation.

Axis getPanAxis( )

This method may be called on both controls when a semantic zoom is initialized and may be called whenever a control's axis changes. This method returns either “horizontal”, “vertical”, “both” or “none,” which may be configured as strings in dynamically-typed language, members of an enumerated type in another language, and so on.

The semantic zoom module 114 may use this information for a variety of purposes. For example, if both controls cannot pan along a given axis, the semantic zoom module 114 may “lock” that axis by constraining the center of the scaling transformation to be centered along that axis. If the two controls are limited to horizontal panning, for instance, the scale center's Y coordinate may be set halfway between the top and bottom of a viewport. In another example, the semantic zoom module 114 may allow limited panning during a zoom manipulation, but limit it to axes that are supported by both controls. This may be utilized to limit the amount of content to be pre-rendered by each child control. Hence, this method may be called “configureForZoom” and is further described below.

void configureForZoom(bool isZoomedOut, bool isCurrentView, function triggerZoom( ), Number prefetchedPages)

As before, this method may be called on both controls when a semantic zoom is initialized and may be called whenever a control's axis changes. This provides the child control with information that may be used when implementing a zooming behavior. The following are some of the features of this method:

- isZoomedOut may be used to inform a child control which of the two views it is;
- isCurrentView may be used to inform a child control whether it is initially the visible view;
- triggerZoom is a callback function the child control may call to switch to the other view—when it is not the currently visible view, calling this function has no effect; and
- prefetchedPages tells the control how much off-screen content it will need to present during a zoom.

Regarding the last parameter, the “zoomed in” control may visibly shrink during a “zoom out” transition, revealing more of its content than is visible during normal interaction. Even the “zoomed out” view may reveal more content than normal when the user causes a “bounce” animation by attempting to zoom even further out from the “zoomed out” view. The semantic zoom module 114 may calculate the different amounts of content that are to be prepared by each control, to promote efficient use of resources of the computing device 102.

void setCurrentItem(Number x, Number y)

This method may be called on the source control at the start of a zoom. Users can cause the semantic zoom module 114 to transition between views using various input devices, including keyboard, mouse and touch as previously described. In the case of the latter two, the on-screen coordinates of the mouse cursor or touch points determine which item is to be zoomed “from,” e.g., the location on the display device 108. Since keyboard operation may rely on a pre-existing “current item”, input mechanisms may be unified by making position-dependent ones a first set a current item, and then requesting information about “the current item”, whether it was pre-existing or was just set an instant earlier.

void beginZoom( )

This method may be called on both controls when a visual zoom transition is about to begin. This notifies the control that a zoom transition is about to begin. The control as implemented by the semantic zoom module 114 may be configured to hide portions of its UI during scaling (e.g. scrollbars) and ensure that enough content is rendered to fill the viewport even when the control is scaled. As previously described, the prefetchedPages parameter of configureForZoom may be used to inform the control how much is desired.

Promise<{item: AnyType, position: Rectangle}> getCurrentItem( )

This method may be called on the source control immediately after beginZoom. In response, two pieces of information may be returned about the current item. These include an abstract description of it (e.g., in a dynamically-typed language, this may be a variable of any type), and its bounding rectangle, in viewport coordinates. In statically-typed language such as C++ or C#, a struct or class may be returned. In a dynamically-typed language, an object is returned with properties named “item” and “position”. Note that it is actually a “Promise” for these two pieces of information that is returned. This is a dynamically-typed language convention, though there are analogous conventions in other languages.

Promise<{x: Number, y: Number}> positionItem(AnyType item, Rectangle position)

This method may be called on the target control once the call to getCurrentItem on the source control has completed and once the returned Promise has completed. The item and position parameters are those that are returned from the call to getCurrentItem, although the position rectangle is transformed into the coordinate space of the target controls. The controls are rendered at different scales. The item might have been transformed by a mapping function provided by the application, but by default it is the same item returned from getCurrentItem.

It is up to the target control to change its view to align the “target item” corresponding with the given item parameter with the given position rectangle. The control may align in a variety of ways, e.g., left-align the two items, center-align them, and so on. The control may also change its scroll offset to align the items. In some cases, the control may not be able to align the items exactly, e.g., in an instance in which a scroll to an end of the view may not be enough to position the target item appropriately.

The x, y coordinates returned may be configured as a vector specifying how far short of the alignment goal the control fell, e.g., a result of 0, 0 may be sent if the alignment was successful. If this vector is non-zero, the semantic zoom module 114 may translate the entire target control by this amount to ensure the alignment, and then animate it back into place at an appropriate time as described in relation to the Correction Animation section above. The target control may also set its “current item” to the target item, e.g., the one it would return from a call to getCurrentItem.

void endZoom(bool isCurrentView, bool setFocus)

This method may be called on both controls at the end of a zoom transition. The semantic zoom module 114 may perform an operation that is the opposite of what was performed in beginZoom, e.g., display the normal UI again, and may discard rendered content that is now off-screen to conserve memory resources. The method “isCurrentView” may be used to tell the control whether it is now the visible view, since either outcome is possible after a zoom transition. The method “setFocus” tells the control whether focus on its current item is to be set.

void handlePointer(Number pointerID)

This method handlePointer may be called by the semantic zoom module 114 when done listening to pointer events and to leave a pointer to the underlying control to handle. The parameter passed to the control is the pointerID of the pointer that is still down. One ID is passed through handlePointer.

In one or more implementations, the control determines “what to do” with that pointer. In a list view case, the semantic zoom module 114 may keep track of where a pointer made contact on “touch down.” When “touch down” was on an item, the semantic zoom module 114 does not perform an action since “MsSetPointerCapture” was already called on the touched item in response to the MSPointerDown event. If no item was pressed, the semantic zoom module 114 may call MSSetPointerCapture on the viewport region of the list view to start up independent manipulation.

Guidelines that may be followed by the semantic zoom module for implementing this method may include the following:

- Call msSetPointerCapture on a viewport region to enable independent manipulation; and
- Call msSetPointerCapture on an element that does not have overflow equal scroll set to it to perform processing on touch events without initiating independent manipulation.

Example Procedures

The following discussion describes semantic zoom techniques that may be implemented utilizing the previously described systems and devices. Aspects of each of the procedures may be implemented in hardware, firmware, or software, or a combination thereof. The procedures are shown as a set of blocks that specify operations performed by one or more devices and are not necessarily limited to the orders shown for performing the operations by the respective blocks. In portions of the following discussion, reference will be made to the environment 100 of FIG. 1 and the implementations 200-900 of FIGS. 2-9, respectively.

FIG. 12 depicts a procedure 1200 in an example implementation in which an operating system exposes semantic zoom functionality to an application. Semantic zoom functionality is exposed by an operating system to at least one application of the computing device (block 1202). For example, the semantic zoom module 114 of FIG. 1 may be implemented as part of an operating system of the computing device 102 to expose this functionality to the applications 106.

Content that was specified by the application is mapped by the semantic zoom functionality to support a semantic swap corresponding to at least one threshold of a zoom input to display different representations of the content in a user interface (block 1204). As previously described, the semantic swap may be initiated in a variety of ways, such as gestures, use of a mouse, keyboard shortcut, and so on. The semantic swap may be used to change how representations of content in the user interface describe content. This change and description may be performed in a variety of ways as described previously.

FIG. 13 depicts a procedure 1300 in an example implementation in which a threshold is utilized to trigger a semantic swap. An input is detected to zoom a first view of representations of content displayed in a user interface (block 1302). As previously described, the input may take a variety of forms, such as a gesture (e.g., a push or pinch gesture), a mouse input (e.g., selection of a key and movement of a scroll wheel), a keyboard input, and so on.

Responsive to a determination that the input has not reached a semantic zoom threshold, a size is changed at which the representations of content are displayed in the first view (block 1304). The input, for instance, may be used to change a zoom level as shown between the second and third stages 204, 206 of FIG. 2.

Responsive to a determination that the input has reached the semantic zoom threshold, a semantic swap is performed to replace the first view of the representations of content with a second view that describes the content differently in the user interface (block 1306). Continuing with the previous example, the input may continue to cause the semantic swap which may be used to represent content in a variety of ways. In this way, a single input may be utilized to both zoom and swap a view of content, a variety of examples of which were previously described.

FIG. 14 depicts a procedure 1400 in an example implementation in which manipulation-based gestures are used to support semantic zoom. Inputs are recognized as describing movement (block 1402). A display device 108 of the computing device 102, for instance, may include touchscreen functionality to detect proximity of fingers of one or more hands 110 of a user, such as include a capacitive touchscreen, use imaging techniques (IR sensors, depth-sending cameras), and so on. This functionality may be used to detect movement of the fingers or other items, such as movement toward or away from each other.

A zoom gesture is identified from the recognized inputs to cause an operation to be performed to zoom a display of a user interface as following the recognized inputs (block 1404). As previously described in relation to the “Gesture-based Manipulation” section above, the semantic zoom module 114 may be configured to employ manipulation based techniques involving semantic zoom. In this example, this manipulation is configured to follow the inputs (e.g., the movement of the fingers of the user's hand 110), e.g., in “real time” as the inputs are received. This may be performed to zoom in or zoom out a display of a user interface, e.g., to view representations of content in a file system of the computing device 102.

A semantic swap gesture is identified from the inputs to cause an operation to replace the first view of representations of content in the user interface with a second view that describes the content differently in the user interface (block 1406). As described in relation to FIGS. 2-6, thresholds may be utilized to define the semantic swap gesture in this instance. Continuing with the previous example, the inputs used to zoom a user interface may continue. Once a threshold is crossed, a semantic swap gesture may be identified to cause a view used for the zoom to be replaced with another view. Thus, the gestures in this example are manipulation based. Animation techniques may also be leveraged, further discussion of which may be found in relation to the following figure.

FIG. 15 depicts a procedure 1500 in an example implementation in which gestures and animations are used to support semantic zoom. A zoom gesture is identified from inputs that are recognized as describing movement (block 1502). The semantic zoom module 114, for instance, may detect that a definition for the zoom gesture has been complied with, e.g., movement of the user's finger over a defined distance.

A zoom animation is displayed responsive to the identification of the zoom gesture, the zoom animation configured to zoom a display of the user interface (block 1504). Continuing with the previous example, a pinch or reverse-pinch (i.e., push) gesture may be identified. The semantic zoom module 114 may then output an animation that complies with the gesture. For example, the semantic zoom module 114 may define animations for different snap points and output animations as corresponding to those points.

A semantic swap gesture is identified from the inputs that are recognized as describing movement (block 1506). Again continuing with the previous example, the fingers of the user's hand 110 may continue movement such that another gesture is identified, such as a semantic swap gesture for pinch or reverse pinch gestures as before. A semantic swap animation is displayed responsive to the identifying of the semantic swap gesture, the semantic swap animation configured to replace a first view of representations of content in the user interface with a second view of the content in the user interface (block 1308). This semantic swap may be performed in a variety of ways as described earlier. Further, the semantic zoom module 114 may incorporate the snap functionality to address when a gesture is ceased, e.g., fingers of a user's hand 110 are removed from the display device 108. A variety of other examples are also contemplated without departing from the spirit and scope thereof.

FIG. 16 depicts a procedure 1600 in an example implementation in which a vector is calculated to translate a list of scrollable items and a correction animation is used to remove the translation of the list. A first view including a first list of scrollable items is displayed in a user interface on a display device (block 1602). The first view, for instance, may include a list of representation of content, including names of users, files in a file system of the computing device 102, and so on.

An input is recognized to replace the first view with a second view that includes a second list of scrollable items in which at least one of the items in the second list represents a group of items in the first list (block 1604). The input, for instance, may be a gesture (e.g., pinch or reverse pinch), keyboard input, input provided by a cursor control device, and so on.

A vector is calculated to translate the second list of scrollable items such that the at least one of the items in the second list is aligned with the group of items in the first list as displayed by the display device (block 1606). The displayed first view is replaced by the second view on the display device using the calculated vector such that the at least one of the items in the second list is aligned with a location on the display device at which the group of items in the first list was displayed (block 1608). As described in relation to FIG. 7, for instance, the list shown in the second stage 704, if not translated, would cause an identifier of a corresponding group (e.g., “A” for the names beginning with “A”) to be displayed at a left edge of the display device 108 and thus would not “line up.” The vector, however, may be calculated such that the items in the first and second views align, e.g., an input received at a position on the display device 108 in relation to the name “Arthur” and a position at which a representation of a group of the items relating to “A” is displayed in the second stage 704.

The second view is then displayed without using the calculated vector responsive to a determination that provision of the input has ceased (block 1610). A correction animation, for instance, may be configured to remove the effects of the vector and translate the list as would otherwise be displayed, an example of which is shown at the third stage 706 of FIG. 7. A variety of other examples are also contemplated without departing from the spirit and scope thereof.

FIG. 17 depicts a procedure 1700 in an example implementation in which a crossfade animation is leveraged as part of semantic swap. Inputs are recognized as describing movement (block 1702). As before, a variety of inputs may be recognized such as keyboard, cursor control device (e.g., mouse), and gestures input through touchscreen functionality of a display device 108.

A semantic swap gesture is identified from the inputs to cause an operation to replace the first view of representations of content in the user interface with a second view that describes the content differently in the user interface (block 1704). The semantic swap may involve a change between a variety of different views, such as involving different arrangement, metadata, representations of groupings, and so forth.

A crossfade animation is displayed as part of the operation to transition between the first and second views that involves different amounts of the first and second views to be displayed together, the amounts based at least in part on the movement described by the inputs (block 1706). For example, this technique may leverage opacity such that the both views may be displayed concurrently “through” each other. In another example, the crossfade may involve displacing one view with another, e.g., moving one in for another.

Additionally, the amounts may be based on the movement. For example, the opacity of the second view may be increased as the amount of movement increases where the opacity of the first view may be decreased as the amount of movement increases. Naturally, this example may also be reversed such that a user may control navigation between the views. Additionally, this display may respond in real time.

Responsive to a determination that provision of the inputs has ceased, either the first or second views is displayed (block 1708). A user, for instance, may remove contact from the display device 108. The semantic zoom module 114 may then choose which of the views to displayed based on the amount of movement, such as by employing a threshold. A variety of other examples are also contemplated, such as for keyboard and cursor control device inputs.

FIG. 18 depicts a procedure 1800 in an example implementation involving a programming interface for semantic zoom. A programming interface is exposed as having one or more methods that are definable to enable use of a control as one of a plurality of views in a semantic zoom (block 1802). The view is configured for use in the semantic zoom that includes a semantic swap operation to switch between the plurality of views in response to a user input (block 1804).

As previously described, the interface may include a variety of different methods. For a dynamically-typed language, the interface may be implemented as a single property that evaluates to an object that has the methods on it. Other implementations are also contemplated as previously described.

A variety of different methods may be implemented as described above. A first such example involves panning access. For example, the semantic zoom module 114 may “take over handling” of scrolling for a child control. Thus, the semantic zoom module 114 may determine what degrees of freedom child control is to use of perform such scrolling, which the child control may return as answers such as horizontal, vertical, none or both. This may be used by the semantic zoom module 114 to determine whether both controls (and their corresponding views) permit panning in the same direction. If so, then panning may be supported by the semantic zoom module 114. If not, panning is not supported and the semantic zoom module 114 does not pre-fetch content that is “off screen.”

Another such method is “configure for zoom” which may be used to complete initialization after it is determined whether the two controls are panning in the same direction. This method may be used to inform each of the controls whether it is the “zoomed in” or “zoomed out” view. If it is the current view, this is a piece of state that may be maintained over time.

A further such method is “pre-fetch.” This method may be used in an instance in which two controls are configured to pan in the same direction so that the semantic zoom module 114 may perform the panning for them. The amounts to pre-fetch may be configured such that content is available (rendered) for use as a user pans or zooms to avoid viewing cropped controls and other incomplete items.

The next examples involve methods that may be considered “setup” methods, which include pan access, configure for zoom, and set current item. As described above, pan access may be called whenever a control's axis changes and may return “horizontal”, “vertical”, “both” or “none.” Configure for zoom may be used to supply a child control with information that may be used when implementing a zooming behavior. Set current item, as the name implies, may be used to specify which of the items is “current” as described above.

Another method that may be exposed in the programming interface is get current item. This method may be configured to return an opaque representation of an item and a bounding rectangle of that item.

Yet another method that may be supported by the interface is begin zoom. In response to a call to this method, a control may hide part of its UI that “doesn't look good” during a zoom operation, e.g., a scroll bar. Another response may involve expansion of rendering, e.g., to ensure that larger rectangle that is to be displayed when scaling down continues to fill a semantic zoom viewport.

End zoom may also be supported, which involves the opposite of what occurred in begin zoom, such as to perform a crop and return UI elements such as scroll bars that were removed at begin zoom. This may also support a Boolean called “Is Current View” which may be used to inform the control whether that view is currently visible.

Position item is a method that may involve two parameters. One is an opaque representation of an item and another is a bounding rectangle. These are both related to an opaque representation of item and bounding rectangle that were returned from the other method called “get current item.” However, these may be configured to include transformations that happen to both.

For example, suppose a view of a zoomed in control is displayed and the current item is a first item in a list of scrollable items in a list. To execute a zoom out transition, a representation is request of a first item from a control corresponding to the zoomed in view, a response for which is a bounding rectangle for that item. The rectangle may then be projected into the other control's coordinate system. To do this, a determination may be made as to which bounding rectangle in the other view is to be aligned with this bounding rectangle. The control may then decide how to align the rectangles, e.g., left, center, right, and so on. A variety of other methods may also be supported as previously described above.
