Abstract

Method, system for presenting an object on a computing device. A metaphor application on a computing device organizes a user interface based upon a metaphor. The metaphor organizes a document, file, application, or combination thereof based on geospheric direction, geolocation, or both. The metaphor may also organize a document, file, application, data, or a combination thereof based on a solid geometrical figure in three-dimensional Euclidean space. A document, file, application, or any combination thereof may be associated with geophysical direction, a geolocation, or both. The document, file, application, data, or any combination thereof may further be associated with a solid geometrical figure. A presentation object containing data on the document, file, application, data, or combination thereof, and the geospheric direction, geolocation, or both is formatted into data blocks for rendering on a display. The display may be the display screen of the computing device. The metaphor application causes the presentation object to be rendered on the display when the computing device is pointing in the geospheric direction, in the geolocation or both associated with the presentation object.

Claims (69)

1. A system for presenting an object, comprising: a computing device; one or more processors; and at least one memory coupled to the one or more processors, the at least one memory comprising computer-readable instructions for execution by the one or more processors to cause said one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

executing instructions of a metaphor application, the metaphor application configured to organize at least one user interface based upon a metaphor, the metaphor organizing a datum, a document, a file, an application, data, an image, or any combination thereof based on a geospheric direction and geolocation;

associating a first datum, a first document, a first file, a first application, a first data, a first image, or any combination thereof with a first geospheric direction setting oft he display associated with a first geolocation;

generating at the first geolocation a first presentation object for the first datum, the first document, the first file, the first application, the first data, the first image, or any combination thereof, the first presentation object containing the first datum, the first document, the first file, the first application, the first data, the first image, or any combination thereof, and the geospheric direction setting of the display associated with the first datum, the first document, the first file, the first application, the first data, the first image, or any combination thereof at the first geolocation;

formatting the first presentation object into data blocks for rendering on the display of the computing device;

wherein the computing device comprising a controller and a memory, the controller configured to render the formatted first presentation object on the display of the computing device;

wherein the metaphor application causing the first presentation object to be rendered on the display of the computing device when the display is associated with the geospheric direction and first geolocation associated with the first presentation object.

2. The system of claim 1 wherein said computer-readable instructions for execution by the one or more processors to cause said one or more processors to perform operations further comprising:

associating a second datum, a second document, a second file, a second application, a second data, a second image or any combination thereof with a second geospheric direction setting of the display associated with the first geolocation;

generating at the first geolocation a second presentation object for the second datum, the second document, the second file, the second application, the second data, the second image, or any combination thereof, the second presentation object containing the second datum, the second document, the second file, the second application, the second data, the second image, or any combination thereof, and the geospheric direction setting of the display associated with the second datum, the second document, the second file, the second application, the second data, the second image, or any combination thereof at the first geolocation;

formatting the second presentation object into data blocks for rendering on the display of the computing device;

wherein the metaphor application causing the second presentation object to be rendered on the display of the computing device when the display is associated with the geospheric direction and first geolocation associated with the second presentation object.

3. The system of claim 2 wherein said computer-readable instructions for execution by the one or more processors to cause said one or more processors to perform operations] further comprising:

panning of the computing device at the first geolocation through geospheric directions causing the metaphor application:

at the first geospheric direction of the computing device at the first geolocation to render on the display of the computing device the first datum, the first document, first file, the first application, the first data, the first image, or any combination thereof associated with the first geospheric direction of the computing device at the first geolocation;

at the second geospheric direction of the computing device at the first geolocation to render on the display of the computing device the second datum, the second document, the second file, the second application, the second data, the second image, or any combination thereof associated with the second geospheric direction of the computing device at the first geolocation.

4. The system of claim 1 wherein said computer-readable instructions for execution by the one or more processors to cause said one or more processors to perform operations further comprising:

changing the display of the first datum, the first document, the first file, the first application, the first data, the first image, or any combination thereof associated with the first geospheric direction setting of the display associated with the first geolocation over time.

5. The system of claim 4 wherein said computer-readable instructions for execution by the one or more processors to cause said one or more processors to perform operations further comprising:

changing over time the first datum, the first document, the first file, the first application, the first data, the first image, or any combination thereof associated with a geospheric direction setting of the display associated with a first geolocation to a different datum, a different document, a different file, a different application, a different data, a different image, or any combination thereof.

6. The system of claim 4 wherein said computer-readable instructions for execution by the one or more processors to cause said one or more processors to perform operations further comprising:

changing a display of the first datum, the first document, the first file, the first application, the first data, the first image, or any combination thereof associated with the first geospheric direction setting of the display associated with the first geolocation to a display of a second datum, a second document, a second file, a second application, a second data, a second image, or any combination thereof associated with the first geospheric direction setting of the display associated with a second geolocation.

7. The system of claim 1 wherein said computer-readable instructions for execution by the one or more processors to cause said one or more processors to perform operations further comprising:

associating the first datum, the first document, the first file, the first application, the first data, the first image or any combination thereof with the first geospheric direction setting of the display associated with a second geolocation;

generating at the second geolocation a second presentation object for the first datum, the first document, the first file, the first application, the first data, the first image, or any combination thereof, the second presentation object containing the first datum, the first document, the first file, the first application, the first data, the first image, or any combination thereof, and the geospheric direction setting of the display associated with the first datum, the first document, the first file, the first application, the first data, the first image, or any combination thereof at the second geolocation;
