Patent ID: 7689929

Claim:
A method comprising: displaying a selectable list of multiple different algorithms from which a user can select within a single navigable window of a single application program that provides multiple different functionalities including at least email functionality, web browser functionality, calendar functionality, and word processing functionality, wherein: one or more of the algorithms are configured as filters operable on respective collections of data to generate corresponding sets of quick links to which a user can navigate responsive to user selection of the algorithms, and each of the collections of data represents items associated with one of the multiple different functionalities; at least some of the algorithms are employable with different collections of data associated with the multiple different functionalities; at least one of the algorithms is a recent items list operable to select most recently used items across the multiple different functionalities; at least one of the algorithms is a top favorites algorithm operable to select items across the multiple functionalities based upon frequency of use of the items; and the algorithms are configured to filter dynamically changing information in the respective collections of data to generate the sets of quick links to display by selective inclusion of items from the collections of data in the generated quick links; receiving a user selection of an individual algorithm when the single application program is navigated to enable interaction with a current functionality of the multiple different functionalities; and responsive to receiving the user selection, displaying a set of quick links generated by operation of the selected algorithm on at least one of the collections of data to filter the data in accordance with the selected algorithm and without navigating away from the currently functionality.
