STACKABLE WORKSPACES ON AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE
First Claim
1. A system for providing stackable workspaces on an electronic device, the system comprising:
- a navigation module configured to display a first workspace of a plurality of workspaces stacked along a stacking axis,wherein the navigation module is configured to display a navigation menu when the first workspace is displayed, the navigation menu comprising a set of access points, each access point being associated with an application;
a workspace module configured to open at least one of the plurality of applications in a second workspace of the stack of workspaces, the second workspace being stacked on the first workspace; and
a detection module configured to detect a second workspace scrolling command,wherein the navigation module is configured to display the second workspace in response to the second workspace scrolling command,wherein displaying the second workspace comprises traversing the stack from the first workspace to the second workspace along the stacking axis, andwherein the navigation module is configured to display the navigation menu when the second workspace is displayed.

Abstract
Systems and methods for providing stackable workspaces on an electronic device are provided. A system includes a navigation module configured to display a first workspace of workspaces stacked along a stacking axis, and to display a navigation menu when the first workspace is displayed. The navigation menu comprises access points, each of which is associated with an application. The system includes a workspace module configured to open at least one of the applications in a second workspace stacked on the first workspace. The system includes a detection module configured to detect a second workspace scrolling command. The navigation module is configured to display the second workspace in response to the second workspace scrolling command. Displaying the second workspace comprises traversing the stack from the first workspace to the second workspace along the stacking axis. The navigation module is configured to display the navigation menu when the second workspace is displayed.
