Abstract
A computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for organizing information elements in a system having a display capability which (a) generates a first information element vector based on a predetermined first characterization attribute, (b) generates a second information element vector based on a second characterization attribute, and (c) display on the display device the first information element vector adjacent to the second information element vector. Furthermore, the computer-executable instructions allow a user to select the characterization attributes and to visualize the information element vectors.
Claims20
A computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for organizing and displaying, on a display device, information elements associated with corresponding characterization attributes, the instructions comprising:
- (A) receiving a command to generate a first information element vector grouping a plurality of information elements according to a first predetermined sequence;
- (B) generating the first information element vector;
- (C) representing the first information element vector on the display device at a first position;
- (D) receiving a command to select a characterization attribute;
- (E) identifying information elements associated with the selected characterization attribute;
- (F) generating a second information element vector grouping a plurality of information elements according to a second predetermined sequence;
- and
- (G) representing the second information element vector non-parallel to the first position of the representation of the first information element vector.
A computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for organizing and displaying information on a display, each information element having a least one characterization attribute, the method comprising:
- (A) generating a first information element vector based on a pre-determined order;
- (B) causing the display to display a representation of the first information element vector;
- (C) determining a first characterization attribute based, at least in part, on an action performed on the first information element vector;
- (D) generating a second information element vector based on the first characterization attribute, the second information element vector comprising a group of information elements associated with the first characterization attribute;
- and
- (E) causing the display device to display a representation of the second information element vector non-parallel to the representation of the first information element vector.
A computer-readable medium having computer-executable instruction for managing information elements in a computer system having a graphical user interface, a display and a user interface selection device, the computer-executable instructions providing a method comprising:
- (A) receiving a command to generate a first information element vector grouping a plurality of information elements according to a first sequence;
- (B) representing the first information element vector on the display;
- (C) selecting, with the selection device, a first characterization attribute associated with at least one information element in the first information element vector;
- (D) identifying information elements associated with the first characterization attribute;
- (E) generating a second information element vector grouping a second plurality of information elements according to a second sequence;
- and
- (F) representing the second information element vector adjacent to the representation of the first information element vector on the display.
