Patent

CA 2468462

A system and method for filtering and organizing items from computer memories based on common elements. In accordance with one aspect of the invention, filters are provided for manipulating the items. The filters are essentially tools for narrowing down a set of items. In one embodiment, the filters are dynamically generated based on the properties of the separate items. The system utilizes virtual folders. The virtual folders 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. In accordance with another aspect of the invention, quick links are provided. In one embodiment, quick links are a set of predefined links (e.g., located on the left side of the display) that can be clicked on to generate useful views of the sets of items. In accordance with another aspect of the invention, libraries are provided. Libraries consist of large groups of usable types of items that can be associated together.

L'invention concerne un système (600) et un procédé pour filtrer (620) et organiser des éléments dans des mémoires informatiques sur la base d'éléments communs (SB). Selon un certain aspect de cette invention, des filtres (621) sont un ensemble d'éléments. Selon un mode de réalisation, les filtres (621) sont générés de façon dynamique sur la base des propriétés d'éléments séparés (651, 652, 654). Le système (600) utilise des dossiers virtuels. Des dossiers virtuels exposent à des utilisateurs des fichiers réguliers (651, 652, 654) et des dossiers dans différentes vues sur la base de leurs métadonnées à la place de la structure de système de fichiers sous-jacente physique actuelle sur le disque. Selon un autre aspect de l'invention, des liens rapides sont fournis. Selon un mode de réalisation, des liens rapides sont un ensemble de liens prédéfinis (p. ex. situés sur le côté gauche de l'écran (600)) sur lesquels on peut cliquer pour générer des vues utiles desdits ensembles d'éléments. Selon un autre aspect de cette invention, des bibliothèques (641) sont fournies. Des bibliothèques contiennent de grands groupes de types utilisables d'éléments (644) pouvant être associés.
