Abstract

See full text

The invention provides a novel method for interacting with content objects stored in computer devices connected as nodes of a communications network, each node including an input interface and an output interface, the output interface including a display area. A first display area of a first node is partitioned into a first private work area and a first personal work area associated with the first node. A second display area of a second node is partitioned into a set of second personal work areas and a public work area, each second personal work area associated with other nodes and the public work area associated with all of the nodes.A particular content object of the first node in the first private work area is visualized as a content item according to attributes enabled by the visualizing and moved from the first private work area to the first personal work area. In response to the first moving, the content item in the corresponding second personal work area is visualized according to attributes enabled by the first moving. The content item is then moved from the second personal work area to the public personal work area and visualized, in response to the second moving, in the public work area according to attributes enabled by the second moving.
