Benefits of technology

This solution allows for a more organized and user-friendly display of information by automatically grouping related tabs and those with high user interaction, enhancing usability by saving user effort and improving navigation within multiple tab environments.

Problems solved by technology

However, the Microsoft Windows XP® operating system does not allow a user to add new tabs to existing window objects or to organize or group tabs that are related to each other.
However, some conventional web browsers lack the ability to simultaneously display multiple web pages using tabs.
One problem associated with tab-based web browsers and other tab-based interfaces is that these interfaces do not provide mechanisms for reordering or grouping tabs.
For example, the above-described Mozilla Firefox® browser displays tabs in order of creation and does not allow tabs to be re-ordered or grouped.
However, such extensions do not automatically group tabs in a manner that utilizes content relationships and user interaction levels.

Embodiment Construction

[0020]The subject matter described herein includes methods, systems, and computer program products for grouping tabbed portions of a display object based on content relationships and user interaction levels. FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating an exemplary system for grouping tabbed portions of a display object based on content relationships and user interaction levels according to an embodiment of the subject matter described herein. Referring to FIG. 1, system 100 may include a display object presentation controller 102, a user interaction monitor 104 and associated database 106, a tab controller 108, and a related tab manager 110. Display object presentation controller 102 may control or provide for display of objects to a user via a computer display device. For example, display object presentation controller 102 may be a window presentation controller that displays window objects including one or more folder tabs to a user. In one example, display object presentation controll...

Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer program products for grouping tabbed portions of a display object based on content relationships and user interaction levels are disclosed. According to one method, a display object including one or more tabbed portions is provided for display via a computer display device. A level of user interaction associated with each of the tabbed portions is monitored. A request for adding new information to the display object is received. A level of content relationship between the new information and the information including in the at least one of the tabbed portions is determined. A new tabbed portion is created and grouped with the at least one tabbed portion based on the determined level of content relationship and the level of user interaction associated with the at least one tabbed portion.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11 / 476,435, which was filed Jun. 28, 2006, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in their entireties.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]The subject matter described herein relates to controlling display of information via a computer display device. More particularly, the subject matter described herein relates to methods, systems, and computer program products for grouping tabbed portions of a display object based on content relationships and user interaction levels.BACKGROUND ART[0003]In computer display systems, it is desirable to present information to a user in an organized manner. Most computer operating systems include graphical user interfaces that display information to a user using graphical objects, which will be referred to herein as display objects. One common example of a display object that is used to display information to a user is a window obje...
