A method is provided for displaying an electronic document having a first portion visible on a graphical user interface (GUI) rendered on a touch panel of an electronic device, and a second hidden portion accessible through a scrolling input received on said touch panel. The method includes receiving a scrolling input on the touch panel from a user to access the second hidden portion, retrieving from the second hidden portion of the electronic document a subportion smaller than the touch panel in the scrolling direction, based on the received scrolling input, and scrolling the electronic document to display the subportion in response to the scrolling input.

Fragmented scrolling of a page

A method and apparatus are provided for sharing a media content displayed in a window of the touch input interface of a first electronic device with at least one second electronic device. The first electronic device includes a processor controlling the touch input interface. The method is carried out by the processor and includes the acts of enabling displacement of the window in response to capturing a first touch input indicative of an initiation of a transfer, capturing a continuous touch input across the interface from an initial position in the window, displacing the window with each additional touch input of the continuous touch input, sending an activation message that the media content is to be played on the second device when determining that the window is within a given distance of a virtual representation of the second electronic device on the interface.

Enhanced user interface to transfer media content

A method and device are provided for enabling drag and drop targets of a first object onto one of a plurality of second objects in a graphical user interface (GUI), each object being characterized by a respective size. The method includes receiving a drag input on the first object, determining one or more second objects onto which the first object may is likely to be dropped using at least the received drag input, and altering the size of the first object based on the determined one or more second objects respective sizes.
