Dynamic browser interface
First Claim
1. A dynamic navigation interface for accessing information, compatible with at least one interface selected among visual, acoustic, tactile, olfactory interfaces and combinations thereof, allowing a user to access information according to at least one criterion selected among categorisation, ordering, systematisation and sectoring criteria and combinations thereof, this Dynamic Navigation Interface being characterised in that it includes:
- A multidimensional ordering and presentation system (1) to generate at least one Navigation Map (2) having means to distribute and display help elements on the Navigation Map which help accessing the information, these help elements comprising;
A plurality of information elements (3, 4) selected from among;
A plurality of information access nodes (3) which allow individual access to the information represented by each one;
A plurality of “
dimensions”
corresponding to categories (4) to which each node (3) may be associated, these categories (4) possibly including as many sub-categories (5) as may derive from the various information levels of a categorisation resulting from a deeper categorisation;
Sensory designs (6) selected among graphic, audible, tactile, olfactory designs and designs which can be perceived by the user, complying with at least the requirement that each information access node (3) is associated by means of said sensory designs (6) with each and all categories (4) with which this node is associated;
A system (7) for displaying the requested information (8) which is activated after receiving at least one information selected among;
the requested information (8), at least one event related to said information and combinations thereof;
with said system (7) for displaying the Requested Information (8) having means to show the user at least one presentation selected from among;
The requested information that has been extracted;
As many subsequent navigation maps that may derive from the various categorisation levels corresponding to a deeper categorisation;
invoking the Multidimensional Ordering and Presentation System to generate these subsequent navigation maps;
and combinations thereof.

Abstract
The invention relates to a dynamic browser interface that is designed to increase information search speed and capability and to and make said search more intuitive. The inventive interface comprises three basic elements:
A multidimensional arrangement and presentation system (1) that is used to generate the navigation map (2): and to represent the following items on said navigation map (2):
The information access nodes (3);
The multiple categories (4) which are associated with each of said nodes (3);
The sensory designs (6) such that each node (3) is associated with the corresponding categories (4) thereof and
The symbols of the operators (11) on said nodes (3) and categories (4).
A system for pre-selecting and visually searching for information (9) that is designed to provide operators (11) (Boolean, Venn, conditional, etc.) with means for pre-selecting the desired nodes (3) and categories (4) and
A system (7) for presenting the requested information (8) that provides the user with the information found (18)
A new navigation map (for more in-depth categorisation), or
A combination of both.
