ABSTRACT:
A display control structure for a data storage device. The device includes a screen portion for visually displaying at least a part of two different virtual display pages of the data adjacent a separating line. The display control structure includes touch-responsive resizing areas adjacent to and on opposite sides of the separating line with oppositely pointing indicators which, when touched by a user, cause the device to move the separating line in the direction of the indicator in the touched resizing area. The resizing areas when touched by a user may also cause the device to move the separating line in response to movement of the user's touch in a direction perpendicular to the separating line. Scrolling areas extend from the resizing areas in opposite directions perpendicular to the separating line with bar indicators in each smaller than the scrolling areas. When touched by a user, the bar indicators cause the device to move the portion of the associated virtual display page displayed in the screen portion in response to movement of the user's touch in the generally perpendicular direction. The bar indicators may also have oppositely pointing indicators at opposite ends which, when touched by a user, cause the device to move the portion of the associated virtual display page displayed in the screen portion in the direction of the pointing indicator of the bar indicator touched. When touched between its opposite ends by a user, the device causes the portion of the associated virtual display page displayed in the screen portion to move in response to movement of the user's touch in the generally perpendicular direction in the associated scrolling area.
