1. A method comprising:
- in a computational machine, compiling a list of visited data-access locations;
identifying data-access locations that are visited more than once, each data-access location that has been visited more than once being presented in a collapsed form as a single navigational target; and
presenting the visited data-access locations as a navigational control record including navigational targets that represent the visited data-access locations, the navigational control record being truncated to present a sequence of less than all visited data-access locations, the presenting of the navigational control record including one of;
presenting the most recently visited data-access location as a prominent navigational target, andpresenting the most frequently visited data-access location as a prominent navigational target.

Abstract
Methods are disclosed for navigating between and within applications that display most recently visited applications and application parts, with redundancies eliminated from the display. The methods can be carried out in a computational machine that compiles a list of visited data-access locations, and identifies data-access locations that have been visited more than once, wherein each data-access location that has been visited more than once is presented in a collapsed form as a single navigational target. The methods then can present the visited data-access locations as a navigational control record including navigational targets that represent the visited data-access locations.

14. A machine-readable medium embodying instructions that, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to:
-
compile a list of visited data-access locations; identify data-access locations that are visited more than once; present the visited data-access locations as a navigational control record including navigational targets that represent the visited data-access locations, wherein each data-access location that has been visited more than once is presented in a collapsed form as a single navigational target, or wherein presenting the navigational control record comprises presenting a most recently visited data-access location as a prominent navigational target, the navigational control record being truncated to present a sequence of less than all visited data-access locations, the presenting of the navigational control record including one of; presenting the most recently visited data-access location as a prominent navigational target; and presenting the most frequently visited data-access location as a prominent navigational target. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A computing system comprising:
-
memory having a repository with a set of instructions that, when executed, cause the computing system machine to; compile a list of visited data-access locations; identify data-access locations that are visited more than once; for a specific data-access location, collapse data-access locations that are visited more than once in the list for the specific data-access location into, a single data-access location; and present the visited data-access locations as a navigational control record including navigational targets that represent the visited data-access locations, the navigational control record being truncated to present a sequence of less than all visited data-access locations, the presenting of the navigational control record including one of; presenting the most recently visited data-access location as a prominent navigational target, and presenting the most frequently visited data-access location as a prominent navigational target. - View Dependent Claims (20)
