Abstract
One aspect of the present invention includes management of the presentation of information on a display. In one embodiment, this includes defining a delimited area on the display for a predetermined activity, and identifying a new application, which when active, comprises an active location on the display that covers some or all of the delimited area. When the new application covers some or all of the delimited area, the active location of the new application is automatically changed so that the new application will not cover any of the delimited area. Accordingly, the delimited area of the display can be preserved for uninterrupted use by a user.
