A software utility navigation aid for hierarchical structures such as file managers, taxonomies, or tables of contents that displays a dynamic menu when the mouse cursor is hovered over an activator used to swap the expanded/collapsed state of a node displayed in a hierarchical structure. The menu contains entries that identify in which display level of expansion the node resides based on the structure~s fully collapsed condition (from the root node), the number of display levels to which this branch of the hierarchy can be expanded, and the number of nodes that will be exposed when this branch is expanded to each of those levels. Each displayed entry in this menu, positioned both below and above the identified node , can be clicked to cause the hierarchical structure to expand or collapse to that display level.

Cette invention concerne un auxiliaire de navigation pour logiciels destiné à des structures hiérarchiques tels que gestionnaires de fichiers, taxonomies ou tables des matières, qui affiche un menu dynamique lorsque le curseur de la souris se déplace sur un actionneur utilisé pour permuter les états d'expansion/contraction d'un noeud affiché dans une structure hiérarchique. Le menu contient des entrées qui identifient le niveau d'affichage d'expansion dans lequel se trouve le noeud dans l'état de contraction complet de la structure (à partir du noeud de base), le nombre de niveaux d'affichage auxquelles la branche de hiérarchie peut être étendue, et le nombre de noeuds qui seront exposés lorsque cette branche sera élargie à chacun de ces niveaux. On peut cliquer sur chaque entrée affichée de ce menu, située au-dessous ou au-dessus du noeud identifié pour faire s'élargir ou se contracter la structure hiérarchique au niveau d'affichage considéré.
