Selection and operations on axes of computer-readable files and groups of axes thereof

摘要

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.
