Abstract
One or more processors determine in which level, among a plurality of levels of a structured object displayed on a display device, a position of interest is currently located. The plurality of levels, which includes a first level and a second level, are in a hierarchy or corresponding to a multi-dimensional coordinate space. In response to determining that the position of interest is currently located in the first level: the one or more processors determine, based on the hierarchy or the multi-dimensional coordinate space, a next location in the second level of the structured object. The next location is a prediction of where a user will choose to move the position of interest subsequently from the current location. The one or more processors generate first display data that, when displayed by the display device, shows the position of interest at the next location in the second level.
