Abstract
This paper proposes an efficient method to browse the document including diagrams on mobile devices equipped with touch screen. With the method, the user can pull the referenced diagram close to the referrer sentence and browse the pulled-in diagram and the document simultaneously. The pulled-in diagram is displayed in the floating window overlapping the document. Both the pulled-in diagram and the underlying document are able to be scrolled and zoomed in/out by the user independently of each other. From the experiment, it is found that the proposed method is efficient for operation on mobile devices and the method is viewed very positively by the participants.
