Abstract: Groups of photo thumbnails are presented to the user, and where a user selects one of the thumbnails, a transition is provided replacing the group of thumbnails with the photo represented by the selected thumbnail. The photo may be displayed without cropping or stretching. In addition, a zoom/enlargement animation of the selected thumbnail is provided, and also possibly of the remaining thumbnails in the group, which then transitions into the represented photo. In addition, after or during the zooming animation, a cross-fading may occur such that the thumbnails fade out and the represented photo fades in. These types of transitions and user inputs both while the user is manually browsing thumbnails and when the user is viewing an automated slideshow of the thumbnails.

Abstract translation: 照片缩略图组被呈现给用户，并且在用户选择其中一个缩略图的情况下，提供转换，用所选择的缩略图表示的照片代替缩略图组。 可以在不裁剪或拉伸的情况下显示照片。 此外，提供了所选缩略图的缩放/放大动画，并且还可能提供组中剩余的缩略图，然后转换到所表示的照片。 此外，在缩放动画之后或期间，可能会发生交叉衰落，使得缩略图淡出并且所表示的照片消失。当用户手动浏览缩略图并且当用户正在观看时，这些类型的转换和用户输入 缩略图的自动幻灯片放映。

Abstract: In an electronic file system environment, animations of file system items are provided in response to various user requests. For example, where the user requests to change the sort order of a set of displayed item representations, the system responds by animating the item representations to move to new destination positions as dictated by the new sort order. Or, where the user requests to resize a container representation, the system responds by animating the item representations shown in the container representation to move about the display to new destination positions as dictated by the new sizing of the container representation. Or, where the user requests to navigate into or out of a container, the system responds by animating item representations shown in the container representation (representing the container to be navigated into) to expand, contract, and/or move about the display to new destination positions and/or sizes.

Abstract translation: 在电子文件系统环境中，响应于各种用户请求提供文件系统项目的动画。 例如，在用户请求更改一组显示的项目表示的排序顺序的情况下，系统通过动画化项目表示来响应以按照新的排序顺序所指示移动到新的目的地位置。 或者，在用户请求调整容器表示大小的情况下，系统通过动画化容器表示中所示的项目表示来响应，以将显示器移动到新的目的地位置，如新的容器表示尺寸所规定的。 或者，在用户请求导入或取出容器的情况下，系统通过动画显示在容器表示中的项目表示（代表要导航的容器）进行响应，以将展示扩展，收缩和/或移动到新的 目的地位置和/或尺寸。

Abstract: A property tree user interface permits user assignment of values to metadata properties and user navigation of data, within a system that includes a data storage subsystem in which data items are organized and queried by way of properties. The property tree includes nodes that expose properties of data items. A user may interact with the property tree in order to effect an assignment of a property, in which case the value associated with the property in the data storage subsystem is modified. User input with respect to the property tree may also be indicative of a query of data storage, in which case a browsable view of data items responsive to the query is displayed. The property tree may also display nodes that represent folders within a hierarchical file system, nodes that represent properties with inherent hierarchy, and nodes that represent user-defined hierarchical properties.

Abstract translation: 属性树用户界面允许用户将值分配给数据的元数据属性和用户导航，该系统包括数据存储子系统，数据项通过属性进行组织和查询。 属性树包括暴露数据项属性的节点。 用户可以与属性树交互以实现属性的分配，在这种情况下，与数据存储子系统中的属性相关联的值被修改。 关于属性树的用户输入也可以指示数据存储的查询，在这种情况下，显示响应于查询的数据项的可浏览视图。 属性树还可以显示表示分层文件系统中的文件夹的节点，表示具有固有层次的属性的节点和表示用户定义的分层属性的节点。

Abstract: A three-dimensional (3D) view of a data collection based on an attribute is disclosed. A timeline is provided for displaying files and folders. The timeline may include a focal group that displays detailed information about its contents to the user. Remaining items on the timeline are displayed in less detail and may be positioned to appear further away from the user. A histogram may be provided as part of the view to allow the user to more easily navigate the timeline to find a desired file or folder.

Abstract: Techniques to dynamically modify themes based on messaging. An apparatus may comprise a processor and a memory communicatively coupled to the processor. The memory may store a theme manager component and a user interface component. The theme manager component, when executed by the processor, may be operative to receive a message from a message author and select a theme based on message content of the message. The user interface component, when executed by the processor, may be operative to dynamically display a user interface view with the selected theme. In this manner, a theme associated with a user may be dynamically and automatically modified based on personalized information about a user. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: A system and method for filtering and organizing items in a computer system based on common elements is provided. A graphical user interface includes a plurality of display objects, each display object representing one or more items and a metadata property control corresponding to a metadata property. Selection of the metadata property control causes a list of filter terms to be presented on the display and also may cause a list of check box controls to be presented on the display, each check box control being adjacent to a respective one of the filter terms. The list of filter terms may be presented in a drop down menu. Selection of a check box control causes each item that satisfies the corresponding filter term to be presented on the display. The filters may be dynamically generated based on the properties of the separate items.

Abstract translation: 提供了一种基于共同元素来过滤和组织计算机系统中的项目的系统和方法。 图形用户界面包括多个显示对象，表示一个或多个项目的每个显示对象以及与元数据属性对应的元数据属性控件。 元数据属性控件的选择导致在显示器上呈现过滤条款的列表，并且还可以使得在显示器上呈现复选框控件的列表，每个复选框控件与相应的一个过滤条目相邻。 过滤条件列表可以在下拉菜单中显示。 选中复选框控件会使满足相应过滤条件的每个项目显示在显示器上。 可以基于单独项目的属性动态生成过滤器。

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for managing, compiling, and displaying unpredictable digital content received from a plurality of sources, such as news information transmitted in RSS feeds. A layout may be selected from multiple display templates, each having slots for the segments of media that are received. Selection of the templates may be based on the properties of the segments. Further systems and methods are directed to displaying at least a portion of non-textual digital content, such as video and pictures, in a nested view designated for the non-textual graphical content. In one example, the portion of non-textual digital content presented in the nested view is determined by the properties of the non-textual digital content. In other instances, the quantity of the non-textual data may determine what portion is displayed in the nested view.

Abstract translation: 提供了用于管理，编译和显示从诸如在RSS馈送中发送的新闻信息的多个源接收到的不可预测的数字内容的方法和系统。 可以从多个显示模板中选择布局，每个显示模板具有用于接收的媒体段的时隙。 模板的选择可以基于段的属性。 进一步的系统和方法旨在将非文本数字内容（例如视频和图片）的至少一部分显示在为非文本图形内容指定的嵌套视图中。 在一个示例中，呈现在嵌套视图中的非文本数字内容的部分由非文本数字内容的属性确定。 在其他情况下，非文本数据的数量可以确定嵌套视图中显示的部分。

Abstract: A file system shell is provided. One aspect of the shell provides virtual folders which expose regular files and folders to users in different views based on their metadata instead of the actual physical underlying file system structure on the disk. Users are able to work with the virtual folders through direct manipulation (e.g., clicking and dragging, copying, pasting, etc.). Filters are provided for narrowing down sets of items. Quick links are provided which can be clicked on to generate useful views of the sets of items. Libraries are provided which consist of large groups of usable types of items that can be associated together, along with functions and tools related to the items. A virtual address bar is provided which comprises a plurality of segments, each segment corresponding to a filter for selecting content. A shell browser is provided with which users can readily identify an item based on the metadata associated with that item. An object previewer in a shell browser is provided which is configured to display a plurality of items representing multiple item types.
