Patent ID: 6915489

Claim:
A method of accessing memory-stored items that are available via a system comprising the steps of: displaying a stack of partially overlapping images that are directly representative of display information of a plurality of said memory-stored items, including presenting only a portion of said display information for each said image that is overlapped by another said image in said displayed stack; automatically tracking movement of a display icon across said displayed stack; revealing an increased portion of each said image in response to detecting that said display icon is positioned in alignment with said image, said revealing being triggered independently from user-initiated designations other than said movement of said display icon, thereby enabling sequential presentations of said images as an automated response to scanning said display icon across said displayed stack along a path in which said display icon is moved into sequential alignment with said images; and presenting file information regarding said memory-stored items, said file information presentations being implemented separately from but in correspondence with said revealing said increased portions of said images as said display icon is moved, said file information including at least one of file name, stored location and file size.
