Subjective user interface

摘要

Disclosed is a subjective user interface that allows a user to define a worknet from a set of data objects of a business enterprise. The user may instantiate channels which are subsets of the worknet. In embodiments, predefined channels may be created and then installed in the user's subjective user interface, which the user may choose as a new channel. Activity spaces may be defined within a channel comprising members of the channel. The data objects that comprise a worknet, or a channel, or an activity space may comprise people as well as non-person (inanimate) entities.

1. A method for networking among data objects of a business enterprise comprising operating a computer system to perform steps of:
receiving, at a computing device, input from a worknet creator to define an initial worknet including receiving input indicative of a plurality of data objects of a business enterprise as members of the initial worknet, including data objects representative of persons in the business enterprise and at least one data object representative of a first worknet subset; receiving input from the worknet creator that identifies one or more members of the initial worknet to create a second worknet subset (“worknet subset”), including the computing device:
instantiating the worknet subset;updating the initial worknet by adding the worknet subset as a data object in the initial worknet;displaying a representation of the updated initial worknet including displaying a representation of the worknet subset along with a representation of the members of the initial worknet;displaying a representation of the worknet subset in worknets of other users who are members of the worknet subset; andsending a notification to the members of the worknet subset,wherein the worknet subset becomes a data object of the business enterprise and is included in a global view of the data objects of the business enterprise; displaying a first feed viewer associated with the members of the worknet, the first feed viewer presenting communications to and from the members of the worknet; displaying a second feed viewer, separate from the first feed viewer, associated with members of the worknet subset, the second feed viewer presenting communications to and from the members of the worknet subset; and defining an activity space, separate from the first feed viewer and the second feed viewer, that is associated with the worknet subset, the activity space comprising a subset of the members of the worknet subset as members of the activity space, and one or more collaboration tools to facilitate activities among the members of the activity space.
