Method and apparatus for displaying data element axes
First Claim
1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon computer-readable instructions that, when executed by a processor of a computer system, cause the computer system to perform operations for displaying an array of time-stamped user-selectable elements on a display, the operations comprising:
- selecting a first set of user-selectable elements on a basis of a first filtering criterion;
using a first chronological order for ordering the selected first set of user-selectable elements;
selecting a second set of user-selectable elements on a basis of an association with a reference computer-readable element from the first set of user-selectable elements;
selecting an ordering of the second set of user-selectable elements;
identifying a position along the ordering of the first set of user-selectable elements for locating and interleaving the second set of user-selectable elements within the first set of user-selectable elements along the axis of user-selectable elements in conjunction with the reference user-selectable element from the first chronologically ordered set of user-selectable elements; and
displaying a combined set of user-selectable elements including the first set of user-selectable elements and the interleaved second set of user-selectable elements in an axis of user-selectable elements displaying the user-selectable elements in a single line of user-selectable elements disposed in a substantially rectilinear formation corresponding with the first chronological order, the first set of user-selectable elements being ordered on a basis of the first chronological order, wherein the second set of user-selectable elements is displayed on a basis of the identified position along the first ordered set of user-selectable elements in graphical juxtaposition with the reference user-selectable element, the second set of time-stamped user-selectable elements being anachronically ordered in respect with the first chronological order of the first set of user-selectable elements.

Abstract
An aspect of the invention hereby presented provides a means to display a first set of, for instance, documents in conjunction with a second set of documents when the second set of documents would not necessarily fit in the query used to select the documents of the first set of documents and/or would not necessarily fit the collation of the first set of documents. The second set of documents so located in relationship with the first set of documents having a beneficial effect for the understanding of the first set of documents. A system and a GUI thereof is also hereby presented.

-
selecting a first set of user-selectable elements on a basis of a first filtering criterion; using a first chronological order for ordering the selected first set of user-selectable elements; selecting a second set of user-selectable elements on a basis of an association with a reference computer-readable element from the first set of user-selectable elements; selecting an ordering of the second set of user-selectable elements; identifying a position along the ordering of the first set of user-selectable elements for locating and interleaving the second set of user-selectable elements within the first set of user-selectable elements along the axis of user-selectable elements in conjunction with the reference user-selectable element from the first chronologically ordered set of user-selectable elements; and displaying a combined set of user-selectable elements including the first set of user-selectable elements and the interleaved second set of user-selectable elements in an axis of user-selectable elements displaying the user-selectable elements in a single line of user-selectable elements disposed in a substantially rectilinear formation corresponding with the first chronological order, the first set of user-selectable elements being ordered on a basis of the first chronological order, wherein the second set of user-selectable elements is displayed on a basis of the identified position along the first ordered set of user-selectable elements in graphical juxtaposition with the reference user-selectable element, the second set of time-stamped user-selectable elements being anachronically ordered in respect with the first chronological order of the first set of user-selectable elements. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A computerized system configured to read computer-executable instructions adapted to enable a program enabling an interface adapted to order and display computer-readable files, the computerized system comprising:
-
a processing unit configured to process the computer executable instructions; and a display configured to display the interface; the program, when executed, being operative to; select a first set of user-selectable elements on a basis of a first filtering criterion; using a first chronological order for ordering the selected first set of user-selectable elements; select a second set of user-selectable elements on a basis of an association with a reference computer-readable element from the first set of user-selectable elements; select and ordering of the second set of user-selectable elements; identify a position along the ordering of the first set user-selectable elements for locating and interleaving the second set of user-selectable elements within the first set of user-selectable elements along the axis of user-selectable elements in conjunction with the reference user-selectable element from the first chronologically ordered set of user-selectable elements; and display a combined set of user-selectable elements including of the first set of user-selectable elements and the interleaved second set of user-selectable elements in an axis of user-selectable elements displaying the user-selectable elements in a single line of user-selectable elements disposed in a substantially rectilinear formation corresponding with the first chronological order, the first set of user-selectable elements being ordered on a basis of the first chronological order, wherein the second set of user-selectable elements is displayed on a basis of the identified position along the first ordered set of user-selectable elements in graphical juxtaposition with the reference user-selectable element, the second set of time-stamped user-selectable elements being anachronically ordered in respect with the first chronological order of the first set of user-selectable elements. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A method of combining a plurality of sets of documents on a display, the method comprising:
-
selecting a first set of user-selectable elements on a basis of a first filtering criterion; selecting a second set of user-selectable elements on a basis of an association with a reference computer-readable element from the first set of user-selectable elements; selecting an ordering of the second set of user-selectable elements; identifying a position along the chronological order of the first set of user-selectable elements for locating and interleaving the second set of user-selectable elements within the first set of user-selectable elements on an axis of user-selectable elements in conjunction with the reference user-selectable element from the first chronologically ordered set of user-selectable elements; displaying and ordering the first set of user-selectable elements in accordance with an order defined on a basis of a first collation function; and displaying a combined set of user-selectable elements including of the first set of user-selectable elements and the interleaved second set of user-selectable elements on the axis of user-selectable elements displaying the user-selectable elements in a single line of user-selectable elements disposed in a substantially rectilinear formation corresponding with the first chronological order, the first set of user-selectable elements being ordered on a basis of the first chronological order wherein the second set of user-selectable elements is displayed on a basis of the identified position along the first ordered set of user-selectable elements in graphical juxtaposition with the reference user-selectable element, the user-selectable elements of the second set of time-stamped user-selectable elements being anachronically ordered in respect with the first chronological order of the first set of user-selectable elements. - View Dependent Claims (20)
