Abstract
Methods and systems for automatic conversion between textual file references and visual file references are described. According to one aspect of the present invention, textual file references are automatically converted into visual file references by providing a conversion interface enabling a user to identify a set of textual file references (504), creating a set of visually-linked objects (460) corresponding to the set of textual file references identified by the user (508), and integrating the set of visually-linked objects into a cohesive scene (510, 800).
Claims
1. A method for automatically converting textual file references into visual file references, the method comprising: creating a set of visually-linked objects corresponding to a set of textual file references identified by a user using a conversion interface; and integrating the set of visually-linked objects into a cohesive scene.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein the set of visually-linked objects is integrated using a real world visual metaphor as a cohesive scene.
3. The method of claim 1 wherein the set of visually-linked objects is integrated using a non-real world visual metaphor as a cohesive scene.
4. The method of claim 1 wherein the cohesive scene is two-dimensional.
5. The method of claim 1 wherein the cohesive scene is three-dimensional.
6. The method of claim 1 wherein the conversion interface enables the user to enter the set of textual file references.
7. The method of claim 1 wherein the conversion interface enables the user to specify a file containing a plurality of textual file references.
8. The method of claim 7 wherein the file is a URL of a source web page and the plurality of textual file references are recursively URLs of web pages referred to by the source web page.
25
9. The method of claim 7 wherein the conversion interface further enables the user to select the set of textual file references from the plurality of textual file references.
10. The method of claim 2 wherein the real world visual metaphor is represented as planets, solar systems, galaxies, clusters, universes, land masses, cities, buildings, floors, and rooms.
11. The method of claim 1 wherein creating the set of visually-linked objects is performed in response to user selection of graphical representations for the set of visually-linked objects.
12. The method of claim 1 wherein the set of visually-linked objects is created using a default set of graphical representations.
13. The method of claim 1 wherein creating the set of visually-linked objects includes selecting graphical representations for the set of visually-linked objects using user personal information.
14. The method of claim 1 wherein creating the set of visually-linked objects includes selecting graphical representations for the set of visually-linked objects using visual association with either content referred to by the textual file references or the textual file references.
15. The method of claim 1 further comprising:
26 preserving a hierarchical structure contained in the set of textual file references when creating the set of corresponding visually-linked objects; and representing the set of visually-linked objects as visual hierarchies using the preserved hierarchical structure.
16. The method of claim 15 wherein the visual hierarchies are represented as planets, solar systems, galaxies, clusters, universes, land masses, cities, buildings, floors, and rooms.
17. The method of claim 1 further comprising adding a visually-linked object to the cohesive scene using drag and drop graphical tools.
18. The method of claim 1 further comprising modifying attributes pertaining to the visually-linked objects within the cohesive scene to reflect user perspective regarding the visually-linked objects.
19. A method for automatically converting visually-linked objects into textual file references, the method comprising: receiving a request to convert a set of visually-linked objects into a set of textual file references; and creating the set of textual file references corresponding to visually- linked objects within the cohesive scene.
20. The method of claim 19 further comprising:
27 preserving a hierarchical structure contained within the cohesive scene of visually-linked objects; and incorporating the preserved hierarchical structure into the set of textual file references.
21. A method for automatically converting between cohesive scenes of visually-linked objects, the method comprising: extracting a set of visually-linked objects identified by a user using a conversion interface from a first cohesive scene of visually-linked objects; and converting the extracted set of visually-linked objects into a set of visually-linked objects of a second cohesive scene.
22. The method of claim 21 further comprising preserving a hierarchical structure contained within the set of visually-linked objects of the first cohesive scene when converting the extracted set of visually-linked objects into the second cohesive scene of visually-linked objects.
23. A system for automatically converting textual file references into visual file references, the system comprising: creating a set of visually-linked objects identified by a user using a conversion interface corresponding to the set of textual file references identified by the user; and means for integrating the set of visually-linked objects into a cohesive scene.
28
24.

25. A system for automatically converting between cohesive scenes of visually-linked objects, the system comprising: means for extracting a set of visually-linked objects identified by a user using a conversion interface from a first cohesive scene of visually-linked objects; and means for converting the extracted set of visually-linked objects into a set of visually-linked objects of a second cohesive scene.
26. A machine-readable medium that provides instructions, which when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
