Abstract

An interactive user interface for a computer controlled system to simplify browsing and navigating through information structures.
The interface uses a split-pane icon (38, 39) on a window scroll bar, or input (42) and output (43) icons on a window title bar (41). When activating the split-pane icon (38, 39) by dragging a selected object to it, a new pane opens up displaying the contents of the object. Where a first (50) or second (51) pane exists, dragging a selected object to the first or the second pane's input icon (56), or dragging the output icon (57) of the first pane (50) to the second pane's input icon (56), will display the contents of a selected object in the first (50) or second (51) pane respectively. Other ways of controlling the displays in the same or different window or panes are also described.

2. The interactive user interface of Claim 1 wherein control means comprises an input icon control of said second pane.
3. The interactive user interface of Claim 2 wherein said dragging means comprises a mouse.
4. The interactive user interface of Claim 1 wherein said control means comprises a split-bar box of said first pane.
5. The interactive user interface of Claim 4 wherein said dragging means comprises a mouse.
6. An interactive user interface of a computer including a monitor for displaying objects of said computer on a screen, said interface comprising;
a window of the screen, said window configured for apportionment into a plurality of panes, a first pane having a content region for displaying said objects;

an output icon control located within a control region of said first pane;
control means located within said control region of one of said first pane and a second pane of said window for cooperating with said output icon control to dynamically link a selected object of said first pane to said second pane; and means for dragging said output icon control of said first pane to said control means and dropping said output icon control onto said control means, such that said control means, in response to said dropped output icon control, cooperates with said output icon control to dynamically link said selected object to said second pane to thereby enable viewing of contents of said selected object on said second pane.
7. The interactive user interface of Claim 6 wherein said control means comprises an input icon control of said second pane.
8. The interactive user interface of Claim 7 wherein said dragging means comprises a use.
9. The interactive user interface of Claim 6 wherein said control means comprises a split-bar box of said first pane.
10. The interactive user interface of Claim 9 wherein said dragging means comprises a mouse.
11. displayed on a screen of a computer, the screen having a window configured for apportionment into a plurality of panes for displaying said objects, said method comprising the steps of:
selecting at least one of said objects displayed on a first pane using a pointer controlled by the user;
dragging said selected object onto an icon control of one of said first pane and a second pane using the pointer; and linking said selected object to said second pane to enable viewing of contents of said selected object on said second pane.
12. The method of Claim 11 wherein said icon control comprises a split-bar box of said first pane and wherein said method further comprises the step of creating, in response to said dragging step, said second pane for viewing the contents of said selected object without affecting the arrangement of objects displayed on said first pane.
13. The method of Claim 11 wherein said icon control comprises an input icon of said second pane and wherein said method further comprises the step of changing, in response to said dragging step, information displayed on said second pane to enable viewing of the contents of said selected object.
14. A method for enabling a user to view contents of objects displayed on a screen of a computer, the screen having a window configured for apportionment into a plurality of panes for displaying said objects, said method comprising the steps of:
selecting a first object displayed on a first pane using a pointer controlled by the user;
dragging a first icon control of said first pane onto a second icon control of one of said first pane and a second pane using the pointer; and dynamically linking said selected first object to said second pane to enable viewing of contents of said selected first object on said second pane.
15. The method of Claim 14 wherein said first icon control comprises an output icon and said second icon control comprises an input icon of said second pane, and wherein said method further comprises the steps of:
selecting a second object displayed on said first pane using the pointer; and viewing, in response to said selecting step, the contents of said selected second object on said second pane.
16. The method of Claim 14 wherein said first icon control comprises an output icon and said second icon control comprises a split-bar box of said first pane, and wherein said method further comprises the steps of:
creating, in response to said dragging step, said second pane for viewing the contents of said selected object without affecting the arrangement of objects displayed on said first pane;
