Selection and operations on axes of computer-readable files and groups of axes thereof
An embodiment of the present invention provides a method of applying a set function on documents in an axis-based interface, the method comprising grouping a plurality of documents in a plurality of axes of documents, the documents from each axis of documents having commonality, grouping a plurality of axes of documents in a group of axes of documents, the documents from the group of axes of documents being disposed along a collation function, wherein at least some of the axes of documents are adapted to be used by a set function adapted to mathematically collectively manipulate documents thereof. Groups of axes of documents are also adapted to be used by a set function adapted to mathematically collectively manipulate documents thereof.
1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor of a computer system, provide a method of simultaneously selecting a user-selectable element displayed on a plurality of independent axes of user-selectable elements, the method comprising:
causing a plurality of independent axes of user-selectable elements to be concurrently displayed on a display, the axes of user-selectable elements displaying user selectable elements thereon on a basis of different queries;
selecting a user-selectable element from a first displayed axes of user-selectable elements on a basis of a user input, the selection of the user-selectable element from the first displayed axis also activating the first axis thereof, the activation of the first axis of user-selectable elements allowing an operation applied a thereon; and
automatically selecting other occurrences of the selected user-selectable element displayed in other independent axis of user-selectable elements when the selected user-selectable element includes at least one other occurrence thereof concurrently displayed in at least one other independent axis of computer-readable files, the selection of other occurrences of the user-selectable elements allowing an operation applied thereon on a basis of an operation applied on the selected user-selectable element from the first displayed axis.
2. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein an operation applied on the selected at least one other occurrence of the selected user-selectable element is also applied on the selected user-selectable element from the first displayed axis.
3. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein at least some of the user-selectable elements are computer-readable files of the selected user-selectable element.
4. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the axis of user-selectable elements of the selected user-selectable element and the other axes of user-selectable elements are displayed adjacent and parallel to each other.
5. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 4 , wherein the selected user-selectable element and the at least one other occurrence in other axes are axially located on respective axes of user-selectable elements to be displayed transversally aligned in respect with each other.
6. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the selected user-selectable element and the at least one other occurrence of the selected user-selectable element are graphically differentiated from other non-selected user-selectable elements.
7. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 6 , wherein the selected user-selectable element and the at least one other occurrence of the selected user-selectable element are graphically differentiated from other non-selected user-selectable elements in a similar manner.
8. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the selected user-selectable element and the at least one other occurrence of the selected user-selectable element are displayed in axes of user-selectable elements forming a group of axes thereof.
9. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein activated axis of user-selectable elements is graphically differentiated from non-selected axes of user-selectable elements.
10. A computerized system configured to read computer-executable instructions adapted to enable a program enabling an interface adapted to display axes of computer-readable files and identify an active computer-readable file thereon, the computerized system comprising:
a processing unit configured to process the computer executable instructions; and
a display operatively connected to the processing unit and configured to display the interface;
the program, when executed, being operative to:
cause a plurality of independent axes of user-selectable elements to be concurrently displayed on a display, the axes of user-selectable elements displaying user selectable elements thereon on a basis of different queries;
select a user-selectable element from a first displayed axes of user-selectable elements on a basis of a user input, the selection of the user-selectable element from the first displayed axis also activating the first axis thereof, the activation of the first axis of user-selectable elements allowing an operation applied thereon; and
automatically selecting other occurrences of the selected user-selectable element displayed in other independent axes of user-selectable elements when the selected user-selectable element includes at least one other occurrence thereof concurrently displayed in at least one other independent axis of computer-readable files, the selection of other occurrences of the user-selectable elements allowing an operation applied thereon on a basis of an operation applied on the selected user-selectable element from the first displayed axis.
11. The computerized system of claim 10 , wherein an operation applied on the selected at least one other occurrence of the selected user-selectable element is also applied on the selected user-selectable element from the first displayed axis.
12. The computerized system of claim 10 , wherein at least some of the user-selectable elements are computer-readable files of the selected user-selectable element.
13. The computerized system of claim 10 , wherein the axis of user-selectable element of the selected user-selectable element and the other axes of user-selectable elements are displayed adjacent and parallel to each other.
14. The computerized system of claim 10 , wherein the selected user-selectable element and the at least one other occurrence in other axes are axially located on respective axes of user-selectable elements to be displayed transversally aligned in respect with each other.
15. The computerized system of claim 10 , wherein the selected user-selectable element and the at least one other occurrence of the selected user-selectable element are graphically differentiated from other non-selected user-selectable elements.
16. The computerized system of claim 15 , wherein the selected user-selectable element and the at least one other occurrence of the selected user-selectable element are graphically differentiated from other non-selected user-selectable elements in a similar manner.
17. The computerized system of claim 10 , wherein the selected user-selectable element and the at least one other occurrence of the selected user-selectable element are displayed in axes of user-selectable elements forming a group of axes thereof.
18. The computerized system of claim 10 , wherein activated axis of user-selectable elements is graphically differentiated from non-selected axes of user-selectable elements.
