`
`PRIORITY CLAIM
`0001. This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provi
`sional Patent Application No. 60/911,761, filed Apr. 13, 2007,
`entitled “User Interface for a Personal Information Manager.”
`the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by ref
`CCC.
`
`TECHNICAL FIELD
`0002 The present system relates in general to computer
`ized organizers, and, more specially to a user interface for a
`personal information manager.
`
`BACKGROUND
`0003 Personal information managers (computer-based
`systems commonly known as “personal organizers') are used
`widely by business and home users. A typical personal infor
`mation manager provides the user with a calendar, a contact
`list, and an e-mail client. Some personal information manag
`ers also offer features such as “to-do lists (also known as
`“task lists'), journaling features, and “sticky-note' features.
`Some personal information managers offer messaging fea
`tures in addition to e-mail. Such as instant messaging capa
`bilities and integrated access to threaded discussion boards.
`Additionally, some personal information managers include
`collaboration-management features, such as calendar sharing
`and routed meeting invitations. In addition to Such organizer
`features, some personal information managers also provide a
`degree of integration with other types of applications; for
`instance, a personal organizer may allow the user to click on
`a contact record to find out if that person is online and avail
`able for “chatting in a separate instant messaging applica
`tion.
`0004. Despite the range of available features, personal
`information managers are currently limited with respect to
`their ease of use. Given the limitations of current personal
`information managers, users would benefit from a more effi
`cient way to access and manage personally-relevant informa
`tion, including both enterprise business information and pri
`vate personal information. Users would also benefit from
`tools that would enable them to use their information more
`effectively; such tools would lead to improved communica
`tion and improved decision-making.
`0005 Regarding the general constitution of enterprise sys
`tems themselves, enterprise systems currently tend to be rela
`tively isolated and rigid; they are oriented toward serving the
`enterprise as a whole and typically offer no personal work
`space for people to store personal and/or private data or to
`organize enterprise information in terms of the individual’s
`needs and preferences. Furthermore, enterprise systems tend
`to offer complicated interfaces and the use of enterprise sys
`tems is generally regulated according to strict policies and/or
`procedures. An enterprise system is generally designed for a
`department or designed to Support a business process for the
`enterprise as a whole; they are generally not designed around
`the needs and preferences and work-styles of individual
`users. Furthermore, current enterprise applications are gen
`erally limited in terms of their ability to integrate and/or
`communicate with personal information managers.
`
`SUMMARY
`0006. The present system overcomes the described defi
`ciencies of the prior art by providing a computer system as
`
`follows: (a) the system includes a personal information man
`ager; (b) the system also includes a set of other applications
`and components, optionally including a collection of enter
`prise applications, as well as other types of data-management,
`productivity, collaboration, and messaging applications; (c)
`the personal information manager and the other “native'
`applications function together by design as a fully-integrated
`whole, communicating seamlessly and providing compli
`mentary feature sets; (d) the system is also designed to Sup
`port dynamic connections to external systems, including but
`not limited to enterprise systems and web services; (e) the
`system is designed to gracefully accommodate information
`from virtually any kind of external system; (f) the system is
`designed to be highly-extensible and includes an application
`programming interface and related developer tools that Sup
`port the development of additional related applications that
`will function as fully-integrated parts of the system.
`0007 Additional features and advantages are described
`herein, and will be apparent from, the following Detailed
`Description and the figures.

`
`DETAILED DESCRIPTION
`0077. This document describes features and benefits of the
`graphical user interface (GUI) of the Tekton Organizer soft
`ware application, with special attention given to features for
`setting up, managing, and using views of user modules. This
`document also describes features and benefits related to the
`implementation of relationship types in the Tekton Organizer
`and in the Tekton System more generally.
`0078. The Tekton Organizer is a personal information
`manager, or “personal organizer” application, that provides
`the user with data-management, productivity and communi
`cation features for business and personal use. The Tekton
`Organizer is a database-oriented application that manages
`multiple lists of data and enables the user to create and man
`age links between the records on those lists, including
`between records on the same list and between records on
`different lists. The Tekton Organizer provides a variety of
`features for viewing and managing data, including features
`that allow the user to set up and manage different views of
`organizer data.
`007.9 The features of the Tekton Organizer are generally
`presented to the user in modules, including organizer mod
`ules and system modules. Each module typically contains one
`or more lists of data that the user can view and manage.
`0080. The organizer modules generally manage personal
`organizer
