Documents discrimination system and method thereof
First Claim
1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for tangibly storing computer-readable code thereon suitable for execution by a computing apparatus, the computer-readable code, when executed, being adapted to implement a method for visually indicating on a display those documents that have been copied from one axis of documents to another axis of documents based on a user-selected attribute, the method comprising:
- (a) providing a first group of documents at least some of which are associated with one or more attributes;
(b) displaying documents of the first group of documents along a first axis;
(c) with respect to a first user-selected attribute of one of the first group of documents that is associated with one or more attributes,(i) receiving user input representing the first user-selected attribute;
(ii) copying to a second axis each document of the first group of documents that has the first user-selected attribute, one or more documents copied to the second axis being displayed along the second axis during a period of time in which one or more documents of the first group of documents is displayed along the first axis; and
(iii) displaying for a predetermined time period a visual distinctive feature for each displayed document that is copied from the first group of documents to the second axis;
whereby a user is able to visualize which documents along the first axis have been copied to the second axis; and
(d) with respect to a second user-selected attribute of one of the first group of documents that is associated with one or more attributes,(i) receiving user input representing the second user-selected attribute;
(ii) copying to a third axis each document of the first group of documents that has the second user-selected attribute, one or more documents copied to the third axis being displayed along the third axis during a period of time in which one or more documents of the first group of documents is displayed along the first axis; and
(iii) displaying for a predetermined time period along the first axis a visual distinctive feature for each displayed document on the first axis that is copied to the third axis;
whereby a user is able to visualize which documents along the first axis have been copied to the third axis.

13. A method for visually indicating on a display those documents that have been copied from one axis of documents to another axis of documents based on a user-selected attribute, the method comprising:
-
(a) displaying a first group of documents in a first display area of a display such that the group of documents defines at least a portion of a first axis of documents at least some of the first group of documents being associated with one or more attributes; (b) with respect to a first user-selected attribute of one of the first group of documents that is associated with one or more attributes, (i) receiving user input representing the first user-selected attribute; (ii) copying to a second display area of the display documents of the first group of documents that have the first user-selected attribute, said copying resulting in the copied documents defining at least a portion of a second axis of documents, at least portions of the first axis and second axis being concurrently displayed; and (iii) displaying for a predetermined period of time a visual distinctive feature with documents of the first group that are copied to the second axis; whereby a user is able to visualize which documents along the first axis have been copied to the second axis; and (c) with respect to a second user-selected attribute of one of the first group of documents that is associated with one or more attributes, (i) receiving user input representing the second user-selected attribute; (ii) copying documents of the first group of documents that have the second user-selected attribute, said copying resulting in the copied documents defining at least a portion of a third axis of documents, at least portions of the first axis and third axis being concurrently displayed; and (iii) displaying for a predetermined period of time a visual distinctive feature with documents of the first group that are copied to the third axis; whereby a user is able to visualize which documents along the first axis have been copied to the third axis. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)

17. An apparatus for implementing a user interface adapted to visually indicating on a display those documents that have been copied from one axis of documents to another axis of documents based on a user-selected attribute, the apparatus comprising:
- a memory module adapted to store thereon a plurality of documents; and
a processing unit in communication with the memory module, the processing unit being operative for executing computer readable program code stored on a non-transient computer readable medium for implementing a method comprising;(a) displaying documents of the plurality of documents on a first axis of documents; (b) with respect to a first user-selected attribute of one of the first group of documents that is associated with one or more attributes, (i) receiving user input representing the first user-selected attribute; (ii) copying to a second axis of documents each document of the plurality of documents that has the first user-selected attribute, at least a portion of the second axis being displayed at least during a period of time in which at least a portion of the first axis is displayed; and (iii) displaying for a predetermined period of time a visual distinctive feature associated with each displayed document on the first axis that is copied to the second axis; whereby a user is able to visualize which documents along the first axis have been copied to the second axis; and (c) with respect to a second user-selected attribute of one of the first group of documents that is associated with one or more attributes, (i) receiving user input representing the second user-selected attribute; (ii) copying to a third axis of documents each document of the plurality of documents that has the second user-selected attribute, at least a portion of the third axis being displayed at least during a period of time in which at least a portion of the first axis is displayed; and (iii) displaying for a predetermined period of time a visual distinctive feature associated with each displayed document on the first axis that is copied to the third axis; whereby a user is able to visualize which documents along the first axis have been copied to the third axis. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
