Abstract
A device for browsing an image collection shows a continuously scrolling sequence of representations of images and commands in browsing area. A user can select a representation, which results in the full image being shown in a display area, or in the command being executed. Speed and direction of the scrolling can be varied with an input stroke in the browsing area. The representations could be shown together with border areas, which when selected limit the sequence to the representations belonging to the same category as the representation whose border area was selected. A general purpose computer can be programmed to function as the device by means of a computer program product.
