METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR FINDING DATA OBJECTS WITHIN LARGE DATA-OBJECT LIBRARIES

摘要

Various embodiments of the present invention include a method for searching or browsing data objects within a data-object library. A current sub-population of data objects is initialized. The current sub-population contains data objects selected from the data-object library and defined by current data-object-selection criteria. Then, in a continuously iterating fashion, data objects are selected from the current sub-population and presented, and the current data-object-selection criteria are modified in order to modify the current sub-population of data objects from which data objects are subsequently selected for presentation, the modification elicited by input and automatically, by the grazing routine, following a period without input.
