Patent ID: 8276095

Claim:
A computer-readable medium storing a computer application workspace generation and navigation tool that comprises: computer code within a main computer application that generates a continuous logical main application workspace that is larger in size than a physically viewable operating system desktop work area displayed on a physical computer system display, the continuous logical main application workspace comprised of a plurality of logical screen areas, wherein: each logical screen has predetermined dimensions that are coextensive with the physically viewable work area on the physical computer system display such that each logical screen has dimensions that are the same as every other logical screen; the logical screens are arranged contiguously in predetermined locations in the logical main application workspace such that the logical main application workspace is a single and functionally continuous logical workspace that is larger in size than the physical computer system display used to display the physically viewable work area; and each logical screen is individually selectable for navigation within the logical main application workspace; computer code that, by user action, jumps from the physically viewable area in the logical main application workspace to a selected one of the logical screens, the selected one of the logical screens being any logical screen in the logical main application workspace; and computer code that logically associates a plurality of sub-application windows with respective logical screens within the logical main application workspace, the sub-application windows for displaying content of at least one open sub-application, and that automatically increases the number of logical screens in response to a user action to move one of the sub-application windows to a new location outside current dimensions of the continuous logical main application workspace.
