Abstract
A disclosed method for operating an electronic device having a touch panel display involves displaying an image on the touch panel display and detecting curved motion of a user input device touching and moving on the touch panel display. The detected curved motion at least substantially encompasses a portion on the displayed image. In response, the device enlarges or shrinks the displayed image on the touch panel display from a perspective encompassing the selected portion of the displayed image. The enlarging or shrinking of the displayed image on the touch panel display may continue during detection of the curved motion.
