Abstract
In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes displaying a segment on a touch panel, the segment having a starting point and an end point corresponding to a first page and a last page, respectively, of a document, in response to a predetermined manipulation by a user. An indication is received that the user has performed at least one of touching a point on the segment and sliding a point on the segment. The document is scrolled to reach a page corresponding to the position of the point on the segment, in response to the indication. The document is scrolled, by a computer processor, on a page-by-page basis, in response to the user sliding the point in a direction perpendicular to the segment.
