User Interface Spaces
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for managing content in a user interface, the method comprising:
- enabling several spaces for assigning thereto contents of a user interface such that the assigned contents are visible when any of the spaces is active, wherein the user interface is configured to generate a view where all the several spaces are presented separate from each other and having their assigned contents visible; and
registering an assignment of a first content portion to a first one of the spaces.

Abstract
A user interface can have one or more spaces presented therein. A space is a grouping of one or more program windows in relation to windows of other application programs, such that the program(s) of only a single space is visible when the space is active. A view can be generated of all spaces and their contents.

32. A method for managing content in a user interface, the method comprising:
-
displaying, in a user interface, a first subset of current user interface contents that is assigned to a first space, wherein a second subset of the current user interface contents that is assigned to a second space is currently not displayed; and in response to an event, performing a transition, from the first space to the second space, which transition includes ceasing to display the first subset and displaying the second subset in the user interface. - View Dependent Claims (33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56)

57. A computer program product tangibly embodied in an information carrier and comprising instructions that when executed by a processor perform a method for managing content in a user interface, the method comprising:
-
displaying, in a user interface, a first subset of current user interface contents that is assigned to a first space, wherein a second subset of the current user interface contents that is assigned to a second space is currently not displayed; and in response to an event, performing a transition, from the first space to the second space, which transition includes ceasing to display the first subset and displaying the second subset in the user interface.

58. A computer program product tangibly embodied in an information carrier, the computer program product including instructions that, when executed, generate on a display device a graphical user interface for managing user interface content, the graphical user interface comprising:
-
a first view displayed in a non-space mode, the first view presenting current user interface contents wherein first and second subsets of the current user interface contents have been assigned to first and second spaces, respectively; and a second view displayed in a space view mode, the second view presenting the first and second work spaces separately, each space including the respective assigned subset of the current user interface contents. - View Dependent Claims (59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75)
