Abstract
The present invention relates to a computer-implemented method for handling a set of data containers of a file structure, which method is performed by one or more processors of a computing device. The method comprises determining a first set of coordinates on a digital boundary for each data container, and storing the first set of coordinates associated with each data container in a memory. Furthermore, each data container is arranged in a parent data container, and each first set of coordinates associated with a data container is representative of a default position of that data container on the digital boundary. The present invention also relates to a computing device and to a computer-readable medium.

A computer-implemented method for handling a set of data containers associated with a respective logical address of a file structure, the method comprising:
- determining, by one or more processors of a computing device, for each given data container of the set of data containers:
- a first set of coordinates defining a position of the given data container within a digital boundary, the digital boundary forming a dimensional workspace for the file structure;
- and
- dimensions for the given data container including height and width dimensions, wherein at a first container of the set of containers has different dimensions from a second container of the set of containers;
- storing, by the one or more processors, the determined first sets of coordinates and the determined dimensions in memory, wherein each data container of the set of data containers is arranged in a parent data container;
- and
- generating, by the one or more processors, a signal for output on a display device communicating with the computing device by:
- generating, by the one or more processors, a graphical representation of the digital boundary,
- generating, by the one or more processors, a graphical tree structure representation of the first sets of coordinates, the determined, and the set of data containers on the digital boundary based on the determined first sets of coordinates, and
- generating, by the one or more processors, a graphical representation of a content view for presenting data container content, and
- providing for display on the display device the graphical representation of the digital boundary with the graphical tree structure representation and the graphical representation of the data container content.
A computing device for conducting at least one of handling and displaying a set of data containers associated with a respective logical address of a file structure, the computing device comprising:
- one or more processors,
- a memory containing instructions that, when executed, cause the one or more processors to:
- determine a first set of position coordinates on a digital boundary for each data container of the set of data containers, each digital boundary forming a dimensional workspace for the file structure, determine dimensions for each data container of the set of data containers including height and width dimensions, wherein at a first container of the set of containers has different dimensions from a second container of the set of containers, store the determined dimensions and the first set of coordinates associated with each data container comprising a position and a number of delimitation positions in a memory, wherein each data container of the set of data containers is arranged in a parent data container;
- and
- generating a signal for output on a display device communicating with the computing device by:
- generating a graphical representation of the digital boundary,
- generating a graphical tree structure representation of the first sets of coordinates, the determined dimensions, and the set of data containers, and
- generating a graphical representation of a content view for presenting data container content, and
- providing for display on the display device the graphical representation of the digital boundary with the graphical tree structure and the graphical representation of the data container content.
A computer-readable medium containing instructions that, when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform a method comprising:
- determining a first set of coordinates on a digital boundary for each data container of a set of data containers stored in a memory and comprising a position and a number of delimitation positions, each digital boundary forming a dimensional workspace for the file structure, and
- determining dimensions for each data container of the set of data containers, the determined dimensions including height and width dimensions, wherein at a first container of the set of containers has different dimensions from a second container of the set of containers,
- storing the determined dimensions and the first set of coordinates associated with each data container in the memory wherein each data container is arranged in a parent data container;
- and
- generating a signal for output on a display device communicating with the computing device by:
- generating a graphical representation of the digital boundary,
- generating a graphical tree structure representation of the set of data containers on the digital boundary based on the first set of coordinates, the determined dimensions, and the set of data containers, and
- generating a graphical representation of a content view for presenting data container content, and
- providing for display on the display device the graphical representation of the digital boundary with the graphical tree structure and the graphical representation of the data container content.
