Method, device and program for browsing information on a display

Abstract

In one embodiment, a program is provided for browsing information on a hand-held device having a display. The program includes ( 1 ) displaying a portion of the page residing around the predefined point and having a shape similar to the shape of the display, ( 2 ) generating a mirror line by mirroring the reference line in relation to a line that is perpendicular to the display surface and travels via the reference point in response to tilting of the hand-held device in relation to the spatial initial state, ( 3 ) defining a hit point (xn,yn) where the mirror line hits the virtual surface and the page containing information; and ( 4 ) showing on the display at least a portion of the page around the hit point and having a shape similar to the shape of the display, the position of the hit point on the page to correspond to the position of the reference point on the display.

1 . A computer program embodied on a computer-readable medium, wherein the computer program executes the program recorded in a computer-readable medium to perform a method for browsing information on a display of a hand-held device, the computer program:
 displaying a portion of the page residing around the predefined point and having a shape similar to the shape of the display,   generating a mirror line by mirroring the reference line in relation to a line that is perpendicular to the display surface and travels via the reference point in response to tilting of the hand-held device in relation to the spatial initial state,   defining a hit point (xn,yn) where the mirror line hits the virtual surface and the page containing information; and   showing on the display at least a portion of the page around the hit point and having a shape similar to the shape of the display, the position of the hit point on the page to correspond to the position of the reference point on the display.   
     
     
         2 . A computer program according to  claim 1 , wherein the computer program sets the initial state in a certain predefined angle in relation to the earth surface.
