摘要： Multiple images are displayed on a screen of a computer system to reflect a temporal relationship among them. Based on date and time when an image is obtained in relation to other displayed images, its size is set accordingly. Namely, the more recent the image, the larger its size on the screen. In addition, the larger the size of the image, the more processing operations, including graphical or text processing functions, are available to a user to be performed on that image.

摘要： A computer interface is provided for easy organization, arrangement and zooming of logical sets of zooming objects in a zooming graphical user interface. Information is displayed as a zooming universe of graphical objects, including groups of associated member objects, that can be manipulated with interactive input devices. The interface permits a user to associate logically related objects in a space-grid group object, a two dimensional table of cells forming rows and columns on the zooming space. Objects may be positioning in each cell. If such positioning results in an object overlaying the dimensional boundaries of the cell or other zooming objects in the cell, cell dimensions are automatically increased and the positioning of objects in the cell adjusted, allowing a newly added object to be positioned at the user indicated position. Cells with the same row coordinate have the same height dimension. Cell with the same column coordinate have the same width dimension. Adjustment of the dimension of any one cell are translated throughout the entire space-grid structure, resulting in the repositioning of cells and their contents relative to the zooming space, while the positioning among objects contained in a particular cell is preserved.

摘要翻译： 提供了一种计算机界面，用于在缩放的图形用户界面中轻松组织，布置和缩放放大对象的逻辑集合。 信息显示为图形对象的缩放范围，包括可由交互式输入设备操纵的关联成员对象组。 该界面允许用户将空间网格组对象中的逻辑相关对象相关联，在缩放空间上形成行和列的单元格的二维表。 对象可能在每个单元格中定位。 如果这样的定位导致覆盖单元格中的单元或其他缩放对象的尺寸边界的对象，则单元尺寸自动增加，并且单元中的对象的定位被调整，允许新添加的对象被定位在用户指示位置 。 具有相同行坐标的单元格具有相同的高度尺寸。 具有相同列坐标的单元格具有相同的宽度尺寸。 任何一个单元的尺寸的调整在整个空间网格结构中被翻译，导致单元及其内容相对于缩放空间重新定位，同时保留包含在特定单元格中的对象之间的定位。
