Filed:

Mar 3, 2015

Appl. No.:

14/637213

Inventors:

- Solana Beach CA, US
Joel Kraut - San Francisco CA, US
Alex C. Schaefer - Solana Beach CA, US

Jaime Zuluaga - Encinitas CA, US

International Classification:

G06F 3/0482
G06F 17/30
G06F 3/0485

Abstract:

A system and a method are disclosed for effectively displaying database records on a device having a display area that is small compared to the underlying data being represented. A simulated catalogue is displayed with cards associated with database records. Detailed information is presented for a record on a card obscuring information related to other records. A user is allowed to swipe on the catalogue causing simulated movement of the cards thereby displaying information associated with a database record previously obscured. The catalogue is moved with an initial velocity determined by the speed of swiping and decelerated based on a drag factor until it comes to a stop and displays information for the record reached. The ability to determine the final record displayed when the catalogue stops allows pre-fetching of the data associated with the record.
