Particularly, Apple states that the idea can be utilized in a small selection window where options can be scrolled through without having to resize the window to see the other options or having a floating tools bar with all the options presented on. Based on the images provided from the patent, seems like Cupertino would apply it to both Mac OS and iOS.
