USER INTERFACE NAVIGATION Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC G06F3/485 G06F3/482 

FIELD: computing; counting.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to navigating a hierarchy of visual elements. Result is achieved by presenting one or more visual elements from a two-dimensional plane via a display device. Home location within a viewable region of the display is established. Proportional size relationship between each element and each of the other elements is established. Using gaze tracking data, a gaze location at which a user is gazing within the viewable region is determined. Gaze location is mapped to a target location, and movement of the target location toward the home location is initiated. As the target location moves closer to the home location, each of the visual elements is progressively enlarged while the proportional size relationship between each of the visual elements and each of the other visual elements is also maintained.

EFFECT: technical result is to provide navigation of a hierarchy of visual elements.
