METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MANAGING AND ORGANIZING OBJECTS IN A VIRTUAL REPOSITORY

摘要

Method and system for managing and organizing objects in a virtual workspace including displaying a plurality of objects and containers on the virtual workspace, the objects and containers being assigned to corresponding layers; receiving user input for changing the corresponding layer of one or more of the objects and containers; recursively fit testing each of the layers for an overlap between the one or more of the objects and containers and each container assigned to each layer based on the user input; incorporating the one or more of the objects and containers into a target container assigned to a target layer when the overlap exceeds a predetermined threshold; and assigning the one or more of the objects and containers to a background layer when the overlap fails to exceed the predetermined threshold in the fit testing.
