Abstract:
The present invention provides solutions to the potential undesirable effects the insertion and removal of information elements and documents may have on arrays and axes of information elements using a collation function to determine the position of information elements thereon. The invention can be effectuated as a method, a device and an apparatus carrying out the method described herein.
Abstract:
A method for managing information elements on axes is provided, the method comprising providing a plurality of axes of information elements adapted to display information elements thereon in a substantially rectilinear fashion, displaying at least a portion of at least one of the plurality of axes of information elements with information elements respectively displayed thereon, at least some of the information elements displayed being adapted to be selectable, to enable a first group of actions thereon, and adapted to be activated, to enable a second group of actions thereon. Another embodiment of the present invention provides a method for enabling logical functions on a basis of a plurality of axes of information elements adapted to be displayed on a display. Another embodiment of the present invention provides a method for navigating among axes of information elements identifying directions where movements of the active information element are allowed.
Abstract:
An embodiment of the present invention provides a method of applying a set function on documents in an axis-based interface, the method comprising grouping a plurality of documents in a plurality of axes of documents, the documents from each axis of documents having commonality, grouping a plurality of axes of documents in a group of axes of documents, the documents from the group of axes of documents being disposed along a collation function, wherein at least some of the axes of documents are adapted to be used by a set function adapted to mathematically collectively manipulate documents thereof. Groups of axes of documents are also adapted to be used by a set function adapted to mathematically collectively manipulate documents thereof.
Abstract:
An embodiment provides a product comprising a machine-readable medium and machine-executable instructions for causing a computer to perform a method comprising providing a first array of information elements adapted to be expanded into at least one other array of information elements on a display. Another embodiment provides a method of displaying information elements on a display of a computer system with arrays of information elements, the method comprising displaying a first array of information elements, expanding the first array of information elements into at least one other array of information elements, wherein the first array of information elements and the at least one other array of information elements have a commonality. A system and a graphical user interface providing same are equally provided herein.
