    Abstract: Methods and systems for bound based contextual zoom are disclosed. Legacy WINDOWS desktop and web applications were designed for a mouse or other high-precision pointing device, and as such, small controls and closely grouped controls/icons were commonly designed/used on the screen. Interacting with such applications remoted to a touch-based device (e.g., a smartphone or tablet) is difficult. Bound based contextual zoom overcomes at least some of these limitations by permitting a user to zoom in on an area of interest within an application or desktop, and for a period of time long enough to complete the touch interaction. The area zoomed might be a group of controls on a ribbon bar, the minimize/maximize/close buttons in the top-right corner of a window, a group of form input controls, or any other natural cluster of related user interface (UI) elements. The size of the area zoomed and the zoom factor applied are calculated to allow a user to complete their task without overly obscuring the rest of the application/desktop.

    Abstract translation: 公开了基于约束的上下文缩放的方法和系统。 传统的WINDOWS桌面和Web应用程序是为鼠标或其他高精度指点设备而设计的,因此,通常在屏幕上设计/使用小型控件和紧密组合的控件/图标。 与基于触摸的设备(例如,智能电话或平板电脑)的远程应用程序相互作用是困难的。 基于界限的上下文缩放通过允许用户放大应用程序或桌面中的感兴趣区域,以及足以完成触摸交互的时间段来克服至少一些这些限制。 缩放区域可能是功能栏上的一组控件,窗口右上角的最小化/最大化/关闭按钮,一组表单输入控件或任何其他相关用户界面(UI)的自然集群, 元素。 计算区域的大小和应用的缩放系数,以允许用户完成其任务,而不会过度模糊应用程序/桌面的其余部分。
