User interface and method for object management
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- presenting, by a processor, at least one creation icon in a graphical interface, the at least one creation icon associated with creating a new object for at least one application associated with the graphical interface;
responsive to receiving a first input to the at least one creation icon, generating, by the processor, a first object in a first application;
generating, by the processor, a first icon representing the first object, wherein the first icon is associated with at least one function of the first application;
responsive to receiving a second input to the at least one creation icon, generating, by the processor, a second object in a second application, wherein the second application includes different functionality than the first application;
generating, by the processor, a second icon representing the second object, wherein the second icon is associated with at least one function of the second application; and
presenting, by the processor, the at least one creation icon, the first icon, and the second icon in a sequential order along a sequential axis in the graphical interface, wherein the first icon and the second icon are presented based on the first object and the second object being generated responsive to the first input and the second input to the at least one creation icon.

Abstract
A computing device includes a processor executing instructions to provide a graphical user interface displayed on a display device and for facilitating navigation through a collection of files stored in a storage device, the user interface including a primary icon displayed on the display device and representing a selected file, a temporal axis defined across at least a portion of the primary icon, and one or more secondary icons displayed on the display device, each representing a respective additional file, the secondary icons being positioned separate from the primary icon, wherein the secondary icons are arranged along the temporal axis in temporal order of each additional file represented by the secondary icons.

14. A non-transitory computer-readable medium embodying program code executable by a processing device, the non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising:
-
program code for presenting at least one creation icon in a graphical interface, the at least one creation icon associated with creating a new object for at least one application associated with the graphical interface; program code for generating a first object in a first application responsive to receiving a first input to the at least one creation icon; program code for generating a first icon representing the first object, wherein the first icon is associated with at least one function of the first application; program code for generating a second object in a second application responsive to receiving a second input to the at least one creation icon, wherein the second application includes different functionality than the first application; program code for generating a second icon representing the second object, wherein the second icon is associated with at least one function of the second application; and program code for presenting the at least one creation icon, the first icon, and the second icon in a sequential order along a sequential axis in the graphical interface, wherein the first icon and the second icon are presented based on the first object and the second object being generated responsive to the first input and the second input to the at least one creation icon. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)

18. A method comprising:
-
presenting, by a processor, a first creation icon and a second creation icon in a graphical interface, wherein the first creation icon is associated with creating new objects for a first application associated with the graphical interface and the second creation icon is associated with creating new objects for a second application associated with the graphical interface; generating, by the processor, a first plurality of objects in the first application in response to receiving a first plurality of inputs to the first creation icon; generating, by the processor, a second plurality of objects in the second application in response to receiving a second plurality of inputs to the second creation icon; and presenting, by the processor, the first creation icon grouped with a first plurality of icons representing the first plurality of objects in a first sequential order and the second creation icon grouped with the second plurality of icons representing the second plurality of objects in a second sequential order, wherein each of the first plurality of icons and each of the second plurality of icons are positioned along a common sequential axis, wherein the first plurality of icons and the second plurality of icons are presented based on the first plurality of objects being generated responsive to the first plurality of inputs to the first creation icon and the second plurality of objects being generated responsive to the second plurality of inputs to the second creation icon. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

24. A non-transitory computer-readable medium embodying program code executable by a processing device, the non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising:
-
program code for presenting a first creation icon and a second creation icon in a graphical interface, wherein the first creation icon is associated with creating new objects for a first application associated with the graphical interface and the second creation icon is associated with creating new objects for a second application associated with the graphical interface; program code for generating a first plurality of objects in the first application in response to receiving a first plurality of inputs to the first creation icon; program code for generating a second plurality of objects in the second application in response to receiving a second plurality of inputs to the second creation icon; and program code for presenting the first creation icon grouped with a first plurality of icons representing the first plurality of objects in a first sequential order and the second creation icon grouped with the second plurality of icons representing the second plurality of objects in a second sequential order, wherein each of the first plurality of icons and each of the second plurality of icons are positioned along a common sequential axis, wherein the first plurality of icons and the second plurality of icons are presented based on the first plurality of objects being generated responsive to the first plurality of inputs to the first creation icon and the second plurality of objects being generated responsive to the second plurality of inputs to the second creation icon. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27)
