Responsive Action in a Resource Management System

摘要

A process controls navigation and presentation of digital resources. Different resources or viewing components associated with viewing areas may be assigned different visual designators that affect how the digital resources are processed and presented. A user interface enables automatic generation of an array of resources that causes resources to be displayed in a particular predefined way based on their visual designators. When multiple resources are concurrently displayed in such an array, navigating from one resource to another may also cause automatic navigation to another resource having a known association with the resource to which navigation is requested. Thus, the system beneficially presents the user with a contextual resource relevant to the resource to which navigation is requested, and may enable the user to concurrently view these resources in a convenient manner.

1. A method for controlling navigation between digital resources in an application executing on a client device in a networked computer environment, the method comprising:
storing by a memory of the client device, identifiers for at least a first digital resource, a second digital resource, a third digital resource, and a fourth digital resource, the first and third digital resources in a first ordered set of digital resources, the second digital resource in a second ordered set of digital resources and the fourth digital resource in a third ordered set of digital resources, the fourth digital resource having a stored association with the third digital resource; displaying the first digital resource of the first ordered set of digital resources in a first digital resource viewing component and the second digital resource of the second ordered set of digital resources in a second digital resource viewing component; causing, by a processor of the client device, a display to display a user interface element for navigating between the digital resources; detecting, by the processor, a selection of the user interface element; responsive to the selection of the user interface element, initiating, by the processor, navigation from the first digital resource to the third digital resource of the first ordered set of digital resources in the first digital resource viewing component; detecting, by the processor, the stored association between the third digital resource and the fourth digital resource; and responsive to detecting the stored association, initiating, by the processor, navigation from the second digital resource of the second ordered set of digital resources to the fourth digital resource of the third ordered set of digital resources in the second digital resource viewing component.
