Abstract
The present invention involves a new system and process for dynamically displaying data objects or “information” on a computer display device based on a predefined priority associated with each individual element of the information. Consequently, more important information is displayed prior to less important information. The information may be either entered by a user, or automatically retrieved from one or more electronic data sources. For example, a large amount of different information is typically entered either automatically or by a user to fully describe a subject, such as, for example, a personal contact in an address book. Frequently, however, not all of the information to describe the contact is available. Further, the information that is available is typically more than can be easily displayed within a single concise window. Consequently, the present invention is used to display a summary of available information based on a predefined priority associated with each portion or element of that information.
