• n Patent EP 2126678 B1, Claim 1

A computer-implemented method, comprising: at a device with a touch screen display

• detecting a movement of an object on or near the touch

screen display;

• in response to detecting the movement, translating an

electronic document displayed on the touch screen display in a first direction; 
 characterized by

• in response to translating, in the first direction, the

electronic document beyond an edge of the electronic document while the object is still detected on or near the touch screen display, displaying an area beyond the edge of the document; and

• in response to detecting that the object is no longer on or

near the touch screen display, translating the electronic document in a second direction until the area beyond the edge of the electronic document is no longer displayed.

Grading

Forget about your marks Worry about trying to impress Take risks - do things that no one else has done before We’ll use the “Socks-Off-o-Meter”

(which I borrowed from Tony Tang)

Still on - Very conventional design; very little effort to innovate beyond what is well-known and well-understood. Hanging on my toes - Some novel ideas derived from thought and analysis, and presented through design. Off my foot - Very novel ideas, showing a lot of effort and thought was put into design. Across the room - Surprising, pleasing, evocative of feeling. Truly exciting in design, presentation and thought.
