User interface for providing supplemental information
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- causing working content to be displayed in a display zone of a graphical user interface of a device, the working content comprising a plurality of graphical objects;
generating, by at least one processor, a plurality of supplemental information items based at least in part on the working content, each one of the supplemental information items comprising at least one additional detail related to the working content;
causing, by the at least one processor, the plurality of supplemental information items to be displayed within a panel positioned adjacent to the working content on the device; and
causing, by the at least one processor, a data overlay to be displayed in the display zone in response to receiving a user selection of one of the supplemental information items, the data overlay overlaying and at least partially obscuring a corresponding portion of the working content, the data overlay including unchanged graphical objects and at least one additional graphical object, the unchanged graphical objects in the data overlay being aligned with and overlaying corresponding graphical objects of the plurality of graphical objects in the corresponding portion of the working content, the selected one of the supplemental information items corresponding to the at least one additional graphical object in the data overlay, and the at least one additional graphical object representing a modification to the corresponding portion of the working content.

Abstract
A user interface for providing supplemental information is disclosed. Working content may be caused to be displayed in a display zone of a graphical user interface of a device. The working content may comprise a plurality of graphical objects. A data overlay may be caused to be displayed in the display zone. The data overlay may overlay and at least partially obscure a corresponding portion of the working content. The data overlay may include unchanged graphical objects and at least one additional graphical object. The unchanged graphical objects in the data overlay may be aligned with and overlay corresponding graphical objects of the plurality of graphical objects in the corresponding portion of the working content. The additional graphical object(s) may represent a modification to the corresponding portion of the working content.

10. A system comprising:
-
a machine having at least one processor; and a supplemental information module on the machine, the supplemental information module being configured to; cause working content to be displayed in a display zone of a graphical user interface of a device, the working content comprising a plurality of graphical objects; generate a plurality of supplemental information items based at least in part on the working content, each one of the supplemental information items comprising at least one additional detail related to the working content; cause the plurality of supplemental information items to be displayed within a panel positioned adjacent to the working content on the device; and cause a data overlay to be displayed in the display zone in response to receiving a user selection of one of the supplemental information items, the data overlay overlaying and at least partially obscuring a corresponding portion of the working content, the data overlay including unchanged graphical objects and at least one additional graphical object, the unchanged graphical objects in the data overlay being aligned with and overlaying corresponding graphical objects of the plurality of graphical objects in the corresponding portion of the working content, the selected one of the supplemental information items corresponding to the at least one additional graphical object in the data overlay, and the at least one additional graphical object representing a modification to the corresponding portion of the working content. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A non-transitory machine-readable storage device, tangibly embodying a set of instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
-
causing working content to be displayed in a display zone of a graphical user interface of a device, the working content comprising a plurality of graphical objects; generating a plurality of supplemental information items based at least in part on the working content, each one of the supplemental information items comprising at least one additional detail related to the working content; causing the plurality of supplemental information items to be displayed within a panel positioned adjacent to the working content on the device; and causing a data overlay to be displayed in the display zone in response to receiving a user selection of one of the supplemental information items, the data overlay overlaying and at least partially obscuring a corresponding portion of the working content, the data overlay including unchanged graphical objects and at least one additional graphical object, the unchanged graphical objects in the data overlay being aligned with and overlaying corresponding graphical objects of the plurality of graphical objects in the corresponding portion of the working content, the selected one of the supplemental information items corresponding to the at least one additional graphical object in the data overlay, and the at least one additional graphical object representing a modification to the corresponding portion of the working content. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)
