SELECTION-BASED ITEM TAGGING
First Claim
1. A method for applying tags to files of a file system, the method comprising:
- operating at least one programmed processor to carry out a series of acts, the series of acts being identified by executable instructions with which the at least one programmed processor is programmed, the series of acts comprising;
detecting, while information regarding one or more files is displayed in a window of a graphical user interface, a selection by a user of at least one particular file of the one or more files;
receiving, following detecting of the selection and while the information regarding the one or more files is displayed in the window, an input from the user of one or more characters included in a tag that the user desires to apply to the at least one particular file; and

Abstract
Item selections along with user inputs are leveraged to provide users with automated item tagging. Further user interaction with additional windows and other interfacing techniques are not required to tag the item. In one example, a user selects items and begins typing a tag which is automatically associated with the selected items without further user action. Tagging suggestions can also be supplied based on a user'"'"'s selection, be dynamically supplied based on a user'"'"'s input action, and/or be formulated automatically based on user data and/or tags and the like associated with selections by an external source. Machine learning can also be utilized to facilitate in tag determination. This increases the value of the tagged items by providing greater item access flexibility and allowing multiple associations (or tags) with each item.

10. At least one computer-readable storage medium encoded with computer-executable instructions that, when executed, cause a computer to carry out a method for applying tags to files of a file system, the method comprising:
-
displaying information regarding one or more files of a file system in a window of a graphical user interface; detecting, while the information regarding the one or more files is displayed in the window, a selection by a user of at least one particular file of the one or more files; receiving, following detecting of the selection and while the information regarding the one or more files is displayed in the window, an input from the user of one or more characters included in a tag that the user desires to apply to the at least one particular file; following detecting of the selection and receiving of the input, determining at least one suggested tag based at least in part on the input from the user, the at least one suggested tag including at least some of the input; displaying in the window the at least one suggested tag to be applied to the at least one particular file; and in response to detecting a user selection of a tag of the at least one suggested tag displayed in the window, applying the selected tag to the at least one particular file. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. An apparatus configured to apply tags to files of a file system, the apparatus comprising:
-
a user interface to display information to a user regarding files of the file system and tags able to be applied to the files and to receive information from the user indicating a first selection of files, input regarding desired tags, and a second selection of tags; and at least one processor programmed to; detect, while information regarding one or more files is displayed in a window of the user interface, the first selection of at least one particular file of the one or more files; receive, following detection of the first selection and while the information regarding the one or more files is displayed in the window, the input from a user of one or more characters included in a tag that the user desires to apply to the at least one particular file; and following detection of the first selection and reception of the input, display in the window at least one suggested tag to be applied to the at least one particular file, the at least one suggested tag being suggested based at least in part on the input. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
