Abstract
An optimized content navigation system includes a display device including a touch screen user interface and a navigation adjustor engine coupled to the display device. The navigation adjustor engine is configured to display navigable content on the touch screen user interface. The navigation adjustor engine is further configured to determine from the content at least one preferred path of navigation through the content. The preferred path of navigation is based on the content. The navigation adjustor engine is further configured to receive a user input that defines a path of navigation and adjust the user defined path of navigation to follow the preferred path of navigation in response to detection of the user defined path of navigation to be within a tolerance level of the preferred path of navigation. The navigation adjust engine is further configured to navigate through the content along the adjusted path of navigation.
