METHOD OF GRAPHICALLY ACCESSING ELECTRONIC DATA WITH ANIMATED ICONS

摘要

Disclosed is a computer system user interface that includes a method of accessing electronic data. The method includes displaying on a computer display screen a control window that includes a perspective view of a work area. The work area includes at least one animated icon that is movable from a closed position to a substantial continuum of open positions. Moving the icon to an open position automatically opens a window on the display screen that contains the data to be accessed. Closing the icon automatically closes the window.
