摘要

A method, system and computer program product for supporting activity-centered, automated grouping of application and data resources, includes generating a user interface in a display device, presenting a set of application, data or hardware resources for user interaction in the user interface, defining an activity group associated with the resources in response to a user performing a consolidated user interface action, generating an interface control object in the graphical user interface representing the activity group, and invoking the resources associated with the activity group in response to user activation of the interface control object.

主权项

1. A machine-implemented method for supporting activity-centered grouping of resources, comprising:
generating a user interface in a display device; presenting a set of application, data or hardware resources for user interaction in one or more open windows in said user interface; defining an activity group associated with said resources in response to a user performing a consolidated user interface action that captures said resources into said activity group as activity group resources; in response to said defining an activity group, generating an interface control object in said user interface representing said activity group; invoking one or more of said activity group resources in response to user activation of said interface control object so that said one or more activity group resources are presented for user interaction in said user interface; and managing said activity group by adding and removing user specified resources in response to user activation of said interface control object.
