Abstract

An approach is introduced for assisting users on selecting the displayed multiple objects on their screen. This approach is related to have a useful GUI by dynamic configurable visualization of overlapping displayed objects provide by the user for executing a certain tasks. Our proposed GUI is associated with metaphor of finding a book of related task from the piled up books of similar tasks with different precision. In order to distinguish the purpose and subject of all displayed objects, we have proposed a layer ordering and related parametric variables assigned to these objects, aligned with user's action. The framework proposal is presented in horizontal framework metaphor that is all objects collected and participating in user transaction are seen by the user in horizontal manner, as things layout on a table in flattening fashion, (not overlapped or hidden). We think that such approach can enhance and accelerate the user workflow in comparison to conventional style.
