1. An electronic system with a time-based display interface, the system comprising:
- one or more processors;
one or more displays;
one or more data repositories;
a programmable management system;
wherein received, transmitted, generated data elements from activities, multimedia files, communications to, from, within said system are stored in said one or more data repositories;
wherein said programmable management system displays information associated with said data elements on said system'"'"'s display;
wherein each said data element has one or more content metadata associated with said data element, at least one of which is a category metadata indicating category of said data element;
wherein said programmable management system assigns one or more specific areas within said display exclusively to display information associated with data elements sharing a specific category metadata in common;
wherein said programmable management system displays said information related to said specific category in said exclusive assigned area within said display;
wherein for at least one category, said programmable management system assembles a time snapshot associated with data elements with said category metadata for a given user-defined time period;
wherein said programmable management system displays a view of said time snapshot by displaying, for said time period, sequentially based on time, a list or graphical representation of information or metadata corresponding to all data elements in said time snapshot, enabling one screen temporal viewing of all information for said category for said time period;
wherein said programmable management system displays information associated with said time snapshot in the corresponding exclusive assigned display area;
wherein said time snapshot includes a temporal assembly of data elements received, transmitted, or generated within said time period sequentially based on time; and
wherein said information includes said data elements, metadata associated with said data elements.

6. A time-based data method in an electronic system including one or more processors, comprising:
-
displaying information associated with data elements received, transmitted, generated from activities, multimedia files or communications from, to, within said system on said system'"'"'s display; wherein each said data element has one or more content metadata associated with said data element, at least one of which is a category metadata indicating category of said data element; assigning one or more specific areas within said display to display information exclusively associated with data elements sharing a specific category metadata in common; displaying said information related to said specific category in said exclusive assigned area within said display; for at least one category, assembling a time snapshot associated with data elements with said category metadata for a given user-defined time period; presenting a view of said time snapshot by displaying, for said time period, sequentially based on time, a list or graphical representation of information or metadata corresponding to all data elements in said time snapshot; displaying information associated with said time snapshot in corresponding exclusive assigned display area; wherein said time snapshot includes a temporal assembly of data elements received, transmitted, or generated within said time period sequentially based on time; and wherein said information includes said data elements, metadata associated with said data elements. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A time-based data method in an electronic system including one or more processors, comprising:
-
generating a time-based display interface for said system by displaying a time-based view of information associated with data elements received, transmitted, generated from activities, multimedia files or communications from, to, within said system on said system'"'"'s display; wherein each said data element has one or more content metadata associated with said data element; assembling a time snapshot of data elements associated with a specific user and for a specified time period sequentially based on time; wherein said time snapshot includes a temporal assembly of data elements received, transmitted, or generated within a temporal granularity for said time period; presenting a view of said time snapshot by displaying, for said time period, sequentially based on time, a list or graphical representation of information or metadata corresponding to all data elements received, transmitted, or generated during said time snapshot on one screen; displaying a visual indicator or drop-down menu for selection of one or more of time period, user name; upon selection of a user name, enabling access to data elements associated with a specific user and displaying said information for said selected user; upon selection of a time period, enabling one screen temporal viewing of said information by displaying said information for said selected time period; and wherein said information includes said data elements, metadata associated with said data elements. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)
