Integrated view of multi-sourced information objects

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to user interface rendering for information objects and provide method, system and computer program product for an integrated view of multi-sourced information objects. In an embodiment of the invention, an attention manager data processing system can be provided. The system can include integrated view logic executing in a computing device and an attention manager user interface generated by program code of the integrated view logic. The user interface can include a grid of quadrants. Each quadrant can correspond to a unique combination of importance and urgency. The quadrant further can include representations of underlying information objects from multiple different sources of information objects. Correspondingly, each information object can include a respective importance and urgency consistent with a corresponding one of the quadrants.

主权项

1. An attention manager data processing system comprising:
a computing device with memory and at least one processor; integrated view logic executing in the computing device; and, an attention manager user interface generated by program code of the integrated view logic, the user interface comprising: a grid of four sectors, each sector corresponding to a unique combination of importance and urgency, the sector further comprising representations of underlying information objects from multiple different source of information objects, each information object comprising a respective importance and urgency consistent with a corresponding one of the sectors, the grid being arranged with a first of the four sectors in an upper left hand corner of the grid containing objects of the highest urgency but lowest importance, a second of the four sectors in an upper right hand corner of the grid containing objects of the highest urgency and importance, a third of the four sectors in a lower right hand corner of the grid containing objects of a lowest urgency but highest importance, and a fourth of the four sectors in a lower left hand corner of the grid containing objects of a lowest urgency and importance; and, a toggle button configured to respond to activation by sorting a listing of the underlying information objects of the grid by a computed combination of importance based upon an association of a role or person with the information object and urgency based upon an impending deadline, and replacing the grid in the user interface with the listing of the underlying information objects of the grid sorted by priority based upon a computed combination of importance and urgency.
