Patent ID: 6931416

Claim:
A method for providing an ephemeral list navigation tool comprising the steps of: providing an ephemeral list cooperative with an Object-Action user interface system, said Object-Action user interface system having one or more semi-independent action modules, each of said action modules having a module frame display; automatically updating said ephemeral list display responsive to user-selected actions by said action modules such that said ephemeral list automatically includes one or more entries in a list of objects upon which the user has most recently selected actions to be performed by said action modules, without need for said user to explicitly update said list; automatically removing from said ephemeral list an oldest object entry upon addition of a newest object entry upon said list reaching a maximum number of list entries, thereby managing said ephemeral list as a push-down stack, without need for said user to explicitly remove said oldest object entry; and repeating said steps of removing and updating such that there is an apparent interaction and coordination between user-selected actions, said module frame displays and said ephemeral list display.
