Tile-based graphical exploration of a collection of objects uses a manager device and method wherein when a user selects a predetermined navigation path a first results level (31) of an explorer graphic (TBN_GE) is displayed comprising a first set of graphical tiles (RT 1 ) representing objects of a type defined by the navigation path for a first stage of navigation. When the user selects an object represented by a graphical tile displayed at a given results level (31-33) of the explorer graphic, a portion of the graphic is expanded by adding, at the next results level (32-34) of the graphic, a further set of graphical tiles (RT 2 -RT 4 ) representing objects inter-related to the selected object by a relation specified in the first predetermined navigation path for this stage of navigation; the further graphical tiles are displayed adjacent to the graphical tile representing the selected object. The objects for the successive results level (31-34) are identified by querying the object collection Based on the predetermined navigation path and user selections. |
