用於在邏輯地組織之使用者介面中提供相關於一所選物件之功能的方法及電腦可讀取儲存裝置
本發明一般係關於軟體應用程式使用者介面，尤其本發明係關於用來顯示與所選物件相關之可選軟體控制項的改良式使用者介面。
隨著電腦時代的來臨，電腦與軟體使用者已經習慣方便使用者使用的軟體應用程式，其可幫助使用者書寫、計算、組織、準備簡報、傳送與接收電子郵件、製作音樂等等。例如現代電子文書處理應用程式可讓使用者準備許多有用的文件。現代試算表應用程式可讓使用者輸入、操縱與組織資料。現代電子幻燈片簡報應用程式可讓使用者建立許多內含文字、圖片、資料或其他有用物件的幻燈片簡報。
為了協助使用者找出並利用已知軟體應用程式的功能，通常會在顯示的工作空間上、下或兩側邊緣提供包含複數個一般功能控制項的使用者介面，藉以讓使用者可輸入、複製、操縱以及格式文字或資料。這種功能控制項通常包含具有如「檔案」、「編輯」、「檢視」、「插入」、「格式」等等這些名稱的可選按鈕。一般來說，這些頂層功能按鈕之一的選擇，例如「格式」，會導致顯示下拉式功能表，露出一或多個與該頂層功能相關的可選功能控制項，例如在「格式」頂層功能之下的「字型」。
在使用者選擇所要的功能控制項之後，或若使用者將滑鼠游標移動至不同位置，該下拉式功能表通常會消失。若使用者決定第一下拉式功能表的功能為所要的功能，則每次該使用者都必須記住所選了哪個頂層功能、重新選擇該功能，然後找出所要的控制項。因此，為了使用已知軟體應用程式的功能，使用者必須知道在該等可選的按鈕之一者下所要可用的功能，或使用者必須選擇不同的頂層功能直到找到所要的特定功能。
這在使用者想要將許多可用的功能套用至一給定物件類型時特別麻煩。例如：若使用者想要編輯嵌入文字文件內的圖形物件，根據先前的方法與系統，使用者必須在關於編輯圖形物件的下拉式功能表內找出功能。在應用任何給定的功能之後，關於編輯所選物件(例如圖形物件)的下拉式功能表通常會消失。當使用者想要對物件進行第二次或後續編輯時，則使用者必須再次找出正確的頂層功能控制項、佈署可用功能的功能表並且找出所要的特定功能。這種搜尋所要功能的方法麻煩又費時，特別是對於經驗較少的使用者，並且當由軟體應用程式設計師新增新的功能，除非使用者剛好學習套這項功能，否則該新的功能將可能會從未被利用過。
因此，此領域中亟需要一種改良式使用者介面，其提供用於顯示與一所選物件相關之可選軟體功能控制項，並且當所選物件正在編輯時仍舊可看見並使用。本發明係已基於這些與其他考量而揭示出上述之所需的改良式使用者介面。
本發明的具體實施例利用提供一種改良式使用者介面以提供用於顯示與一所選物件相關之可選軟體功能控制項，並且當所選物件正在編輯時仍舊可看見並使用，來解決上述與其他問題。一般而言，本發明的態樣提供用於呈現在選擇編輯用的給定物件時與一給定頂層功能相關之可選功能控制項。選擇特定物件進行編輯時，可用於編輯物件的功能會以帶狀呈現於軟體應用程式工作空間之上的使用者介面內，讓使用者備妥並有效存取編輯所選物件所需的功能。相關功能控制項的顯示會持續到使用者解除該顯示、選擇其他頂層功能控制項或選擇其他物件進行編輯。
根據本發明的態樣，各方法與系統透過改良式使用者介面，從軟體應用程式提供與一編輯物件相關之功能。在此提供複數個可從已知軟體應用程式獲得的功能。在透過軟體應用程式接收到用於編輯的物件選擇指示，會在帶狀使用者介面內顯示一或多個代表複數個功能子集之可選控制項，藉此該複數個功能的子集有相關並且允許編輯所選的物件。該複數個功能的子集會存在於使用者介面內，直到接收到選擇不同物件來編輯或選擇與該複數個功能不同子集所相關的不同功能之指示。
經由閱讀下列詳細說明以及檢視相關的附圖，可對將本發明特徵化的這些與其他特色與優點有通盤的了解。吾人可了解到，上列一般說明以及下列詳細說明都僅是示範，並不因此限制本發明。
如上面簡要的說明，本發明的具體實施例針對一種改良式使用者介面，其用於顯示與一所選物件相關之可選軟體功能控制項，並且當所選物件正在編輯時仍舊可看見並使用。在下列詳細說明中，將參照其零件附圖並且其中說明特定具體實施例或範例。在不悖離本發明精神與範疇的前提之下，這些具體實施例可結合、可利用其他具體實施例以及可進行結構改變。因此下列詳細說明並不構成限制，並且本發明範疇由申請專利範圍及其附屬項所定義。
此刻請參閱圖式，在這幾個圖式之中其中相同的編號代表相同的元件，將說明本發明態樣以及範例性操作環境。第1圖以及下列討論用於提供其中可實施本發明的合適計算環境之簡要、一般說明。雖然將以結合在個人電腦作業系統上執行的應用程式來執行之程式模組一般範圍來說明本發明，不過精通此技術的人士將會瞭解，本發明也可與其他程式模組結合實施。
一般而言，程式模組包含常式、程式、組件、資料結構以及執行特定工作或實施特定摘要資料類型的其他結構類型。再者，這些精通此技術的人士將會瞭解到，可用其他電腦系統組態來實現本發明，這些組態包含手持裝置、多處理器系統、微處理器式或可程式消費型電子產品、迷你電腦、主機電腦等等。本發明也可在分散式計算環境中實行，其中工作由透過通訊網路鏈結的遠端處理裝置所執行。在分散式計算環境中，程式模組可位於本機或遠端記憶體儲存裝置內。
此時請參閱第1圖，將說明用於實現本發明許多具體實施例的個人電腦2之圖解電腦架構。第1圖內顯示的電腦架構說明一種傳統個人電腦，其包含一中央處理單元(CPU)4、一系統記憶體6，包含一隨機存取記憶體(RAM)8和一唯讀記憶體(ROM)10，以及一系統匯流排12，其將該記憶體耦合至該CPU 4。一基本輸入/輸出系統包含有助於在電腦內元件之間(像是啟動時)傳輸資訊的基本常式，其儲存在ROM 10內。該個人電腦2更包含一大量儲存裝置14，用於儲存一作業系統16、應用程式(像是應用程式205)以及資料。
該大量儲存裝置14透過一連接至該匯流排12的大量儲存控制器(未顯示)，來連接至該CPU 4。該大量儲存裝置14及其相關的電腦可讀取媒體提供非揮發性儲存空間給個人電腦2。雖然此處所含的電腦可讀取媒體說明就是大量儲存裝置，像是硬碟或CD-ROM光碟機，精通此技術的人士應該瞭解，電腦可讀取媒體可為個人電腦2可存取的任何可用媒體。
藉由範例並且不受限於此範例，電腦可讀取媒體可包含電腦儲存媒體以及通訊媒體。電腦儲存媒體包含在任何方法或技術內實施的揮發性與非揮發性、可抽取與不可抽取媒體，用於儲存像是電腦可讀取指令、資料結構、程式模組或其他資料等等資訊。電腦儲存媒體包括但不受限於RAM、ROM、EPROM、EEPROM、快閃記憶體或其他固態記憶體技術、CD-ROM、DVD或其他光學儲存、磁帶、磁匣、磁片儲存或其他磁性儲存裝置，或其他任何可用於儲存所要資訊並且可由電腦存取的媒體。
根據本發明的許多具體實施例，個人電腦2可透過TCP/IP網路18，像是網際網路，運用邏輯連接至遠端電腦，而在網路環境內操作。個人電腦2可透過與匯流排12相連的網路介面單元20連接至TCP/IP網路18。吾人應該瞭解，該網路介面單元20也可用於連接至其他種網路與遠端電腦系統。個人電腦2也可包含一輸入/輸出控制器22，用於接收並處理來自許多裝置的輸入，這些裝置包含鍵盤或滑鼠(未顯示)。類似地，一輸入/輸出控制器22可提供輸出至一顯示螢幕、一印表機或其他種輸出裝置。
如上面簡單提及的，許多程式模組與資料檔案可儲存在個人電腦2的大量儲存裝置14與RAM 8內，包含適合用於控制網路個人電腦操作的作業系統16，像是Redmond,Washington的Microsoft Corporation所推出之WINDOWS作業系統。該大量儲存裝置14和RAM 8也可儲存一或多個應用程式。尤其是，該大量儲存裝置14和RAM 8可儲存應用程式105，用於提供許多功能給使用者。例如：該應用程式105可包含許多種程式，像是文書處理應用程式、試算表應用程式、桌面出版應用程式等等。根據本發明的具體實施例，應用程式105包含複數個功能軟體應用程式，用於提供文書處理功能、幻燈片簡報功能、試算表功能、資料庫功能等等。某些包含多重功能應用程式105的個別程式模組包含一文書處理應用程式125、一幻燈片簡報應用程式135、一試算表應用程式140以及一資料庫應用程式145。這種多重功能應用程式105的範例為Microsoft Corporation開發的OFFICE。第1圖內說明的其他軟體應用程式包含電子郵件應用程式130。
第2圖為顯示帶狀使用者介面的電腦畫面顯示說明，用於顯示工作式頂層功能頁籤並且用於顯示所選的頂層功能頁籤之下可用的複數個功能。如之前簡要說明，本發明的改良式使用者介面包含帶狀使用者介面，用於顯示一給定軟體應用程式之下關於可用之工作式功能的可選控制項，像是第1圖內說明的軟體應用程式105。該使用者介面200的第一區段210包含與特定工作不相關的功能之一般可選控制項，像是文書處理對上試算表資料分析。例如：區段210包含用於一般檔案指令的可選控制項，像是「開檔」、「存檔」以及「列印」。根據本發明的一個具體實施例，第一區段210內包含的可選控制項許多軟體應用程式都會運用到，這些程式包含多重功能應用程式105。也就是，第一區段210內包含的可選控制項可為一般發現並用於許多不同軟體應用程式的控制項。
第一區段210內包含的可選控制項可運用於包含上述多重功能應用程式的所有該等應用程式，但是在下面說明的使用者介面200內呈現之其他可選控制項可為特定工作所訂製，而該工作可由包含多重功能應用程式的特定軟體應用程式所執行。在另一方面，吾人應該瞭解，此處說明的使用者介面200可用於單一軟體應用程式，像是文書處理應用程式125、幻燈片簡報應用程式135、試算表應用程式140、資料庫應用程式145，或其他任何運用使用者介面讓使用者套用相關應用程式的功能之軟體應用程式。
仍舊參閱第2圖，與使用者介面200的第一區段210相鄰的是工作式頁籤區段。該頁籤區段包含由給定軟體應用程式所提供的與工作式功能相關之可選頁籤。為了說明，第2圖內說明的工作式頁籤係關於於使用文書處理應用程式125所執行的工作。例如：「寫入」頁籤215係相關於用來執行寫入工作的功能。「插入」頁籤220係關於於執行與插入操作或工作相關的功能。「版面配置」頁籤230係關於由相關應用程式所提供，用於執行或編輯給定文件的頁面配置屬性之功能。
如所瞭解，許多其他工作式頁籤或可選控制項可加入使用者介面的頁籤區段內，以呼叫與其他工作相關的功能。例如：可加入用於文字效果、文件樣式、檢驗以及附註等等的工作頁籤。並且如上所述，使用者介面200可用於許多不同的軟體應用程式。例如：若使用者介面200用於幻燈片簡報應用程式，則頁籤內包含的工作可包含像是「建立幻燈片」、「插入」、「格式」、「繪圖」、「特效」以及由幻燈片簡報應用程式執行的相關於許多工作之頁籤。類似地，使用者介面200的頁籤區段內用於試算表應用程式140的頁籤可包含像是「資料」或「資料項目」、「清單」、「旋轉表格」、「分析」、「公式」、「頁面與列印」以及由試算表應用程式執行的與許多工作相關之頁籤。
就在一般控制項區段210和工作式頁籤區段之下為一可選功能控制項區段，其用於顯示從工作式頁籤選擇的關於所選頁籤215、220、230之可選功能控制項。根據本發明具體實施例，當選擇特定頁籤(像是選擇「寫入」頁籤215)時，則在邏輯群組內顯示用於執行所選工作(例如寫入工作)之與軟體應用程式相關之可用的可選功能。例如：請參閱第2圖，顯示在標題「剪貼簿」之下的第一邏輯群組240。根據本發明的具體實施例，剪貼簿區段240包含邏輯分在一起以及與一般寫入工作下剪貼簿動作相關的可選功能控制項。例如：剪貼簿區段240可包含該等像是剪下控制項、複製控制項、貼上控制項、全選控制項等等的可選控制項。與該剪貼簿區段240相鄰的是呈現在標題「格式化」之下的第二邏輯群組250。
「格式化」區段250內呈現的可選控制項可包含像是文字對齊、文字類型、字型大小、行距、粗體、斜體、底線等等的這些可選控制項。因此，關於格式化操作的功能會在整體「寫入」工作之下邏輯分在一起。第三邏輯分組260呈現在標題「寫入工具」之下。寫入工具區段260包含像是找尋/取代、自動修正等等這些寫入工具。根據本發明的具體實施例，在從頁籤區段選擇不同工作式頁籤時，不同邏輯分組內不同組的可選功能控制項會呈現在所選工作式頁籤隨附的使用者介面200內。例如：若選定的「插入」工作頁籤220，則呈現在使用者介面200內的可選功能控制項會從第2圖內所說明的控制項改變成包含與插入工作相關的可選功能控制項。有關第2圖內所說明關於使用者介面200的詳細資訊，請參閱委託編號60001 0410USU1，申請編號309411 01，標題為「Command User Interface for Displaying Selectable Software Functionality Controls」的美國專利申請案，若在此有所完整列舉將併入當成參考。
第3圖至第10圖說明本發明第一具體實施例的態樣。第3圖說明顯示其上配置有關於所選物件的編輯之可選功能控制項的帶狀使用者介面之電腦畫面顯示。根據第3圖至第10圖內說明的本發明具體實施例，當所選部份文件或特定物件進行編輯，像是文字物件、圖形物件、試算表物件等等，第2圖內說明的使用者介面會暫時由第3圖內說明的使用者介面取代，其中包含與編輯所選物件特別相關的可選功能控制項。例如：若選擇嵌入文字檔案內的圖形物件進行編輯，該工作式功能頁籤以及個別可選功能控制項的任何相關邏輯分組(如上面參閱第2圖之說明)會由一或多個工作式功能頁籤以及特別用於編輯所所選物件的可選功能控制項之相關邏輯分組來取代。
例如請參閱第3圖，若使用者選擇嵌入文字檔案或其他文件的圖形物件進行編輯，則帶狀使用者介面300會取代帶狀使用者介面200，如此會特別提供工作式頁籤310、320、330給使用者，以編輯所選的圖形物件。類似於上述對於使用者介面200的說明，在選擇工作式頁籤310、320、330之一時，安排在頁籤之下的部分使用者介面300會位於可選功能控制項的個別或邏輯分組內，以將可選工作式頁籤之下可用的功能供應至該所選的物件。例如：請參閱使用者介面300，選擇「樣式圖庫」頁籤310導致呈現出「配置」區段350和「圖形樣式」區段355。此外，提供「選擇」區段345讓使用者在多個圖形物件之間選擇，例如用於任何所選的功能之應用。若使用者將給定功能套用至所選的物件，但是不滿足功能應用的結果，則提供重設按鈕340，讓使用者可將所選的物件重設回套用所選功能之前的情況。其他工作式頁籤之一的選擇，像是「特效」頁籤320或「圖形工具」頁籤330都將導致在與所選工作式頁籤相關之使用者介面300下半部內顯示不同組可選功能控制項。
請參閱使用者介面300內說明的範例功能控制項，在「圖形樣式」區段355內，提供複數個影像，用於若格式化選項或圖形樣式的特定組合供應至物件，將如何展示所選的物件顯示給使用者。根據本發明的具體實施例，一或多個影像的選擇可導致用於格式化或樣式化所所選物件的所有指令與來自使用者介面300的所選影像一致。也就是，在「圖形樣式」區段355內選擇所要的影像時，則使用者文件內所選的物件會據此自動格式化或樣式化。「配置」區段350為功能控制項區段的代表，其具有一或多個影像或潛在配置樣式或法則，可顯示在使用者介面300內。因此，如底下參閱第6圖的說明，「配置」區段350的選擇可能導致顯示下拉式功能表或下拉橫向功能表，提供使用者可適用於所選物件的許多不同配置選項。
精通此技術的人士應該瞭解，說明於使用者介面300內的範例工作式頁籤與個別功能控制項僅為範例，並不用於限制使用者介面300內提供的許多物件特定功能。根據本發明的具體實施例，利用特定用於所選物件的功能取代使用者介面200所提供的一般功能，使用者體驗到可讓使用者用於編輯所選物件的功能。
若使用者介面300內的空間不足以顯示關於給定工作式頁籤的功能控制項之所有邏輯分組，在應用程式執行時間上可做決定，如此任何邏輯分組都必須收摺或關閉，直到選擇隨附的工作式頁籤。類似地，若使用者手動減少使用者介面300的尺寸，則決定該可用空間用於顯示所選的功能控制項區段，並且依照需求收摺特定可選功能控制項區段。如所瞭解，將對收摺可選功能控制項區段的順序做出決定，如此像是「最常使用」、「最近使用」這些條件可用於決定要顯示哪個可選功能控制項區段，並且當使用者介面內可用空間減少時要收摺哪個區段。
根據另一具體實施例，若使用者介面300的空間不足以顯示給定工作式頁籤相關的功能控制項之所有邏輯分組，則個別邏輯分組的顯示大小會減少，讓空間可以顯示所有相關的邏輯分組。根據此具體實施例的一態樣，可定義分組顯示不同的尺寸，例如小、中和大。在顯示時，可對可用空間做出決定。在開始點上，呈現出每個適當邏輯分組顯示的最大尺寸。依照需求，每個邏輯分組的顯示尺寸都會降低(即是從大到中到小)，直到每個分組都符合可用空間大小。此外，對於較小邏輯分組顯示配置而言，文字頁籤可縮短或消除，並且給定分組內個別可選控制項的配置可重新安排，讓空間使用更有效率。
此時請參閱第4圖，在文書處理應用程式工作空間內顯示具有嵌入圖形物件的範例文字文件。沿著文書處理應用程式工作空間上緣安置的使用者介面200顯示工作式頁籤和用於將文字寫入顯示的文件內所相關的可選功能控制項區段。若使用者想要編輯圖形物件410，根據本發明的具體實施例，使用者並不需要搜尋編輯圖形物件所需的功能。在選擇圖形物件410進行編輯時，「顯示圖形工具」控制項420會顯示給使用者，讓使用者叫出工具以及其他可讓使用者編輯所選物件的功能。如精通此技術的人士所應該瞭解，圖形物件編輯的說明僅用於範例，並且不受限於在上述說明之不同類型之物件選擇的使用者介面300內暴露給使用者的許多不同工具與功能。例如：工具與功能可提供用於編輯表格物件、試算表物件、幻燈片簡報物件、資料庫物件等等。
若使用者選擇「顯示圖形工具」控制項，根據第3圖至第10圖內說明的具體實施例，則動態產生使用者介面300並暫時取代使用者介面200，如第5圖內之說明。請參閱第5圖，使用者介面300取代使用者介面200，並且在使用者介面300內顯示使用者可用於編輯所選圖形物件的工作式功能，如上面參考第3圖之說明。此時，使用者可選擇一或多個可用於編輯所所選物件(例如圖形物件)的功能，而不需要搜尋許多不同功能表或工具列來找尋編輯所選的物件所需之功能。為了解除使用者介面300並回到使用者介面200，可選擇退出控制項。
請參閱第6圖，考慮到例如使用者利用將嵌入的圖形物件移動至不同位置，來改變文件的配置。使用者可手動將嵌入的物件移動至不同位置，接著改變文件內含文字的方位與位置，讓整個文件具有可接受並且所要的配置。不過根據本發明的具體實施例，使用者可選擇配置控制項350佈署下拉式功能表，以提供許多不同潛在配置給所選文件內所選的物件。例如：下拉式功能表600提供像是「中央較大」610、「左上角」620、「右上角」630、「文字置中」640、「之上與之下」650以及「單獨在頁面上」660之配置。如所瞭解，參考第6圖說明的潛在配置僅為範例，並不限制可透過使用者介面300提供給使用者的許多不同配置。
如上面參閱第3圖的說明，根據本發明的具體實施例，將呈現的格式或配置套用至所選物件的所有所需指令可進行編碼，用於在所選使用者介面內格式或配置影像之一時執行。因此，若使用者想要選擇將所選圖形物件放置在所選文件右上角方位的配置，使用者可選擇「右上角」配置630，並且根據所選配置重新排列所選物件與文件的所有所需功能都會套用至文件與物件，如此文件會呈現出所選配置，如第7圖內所說明。
請參閱第7圖，所選的物件410此時位於文件的右上角，並且文字已據此重新排列。如第7圖內所示，使用者介面300包含所選物件隨附的功能，其在使用者選擇文件內其他物件進行編輯之前都還留在使用者介面內。例如：若使用者移動滑鼠游標至文件的文字部分，並選擇文件的文字部分進行編輯，使用者介面300將解除，並且將會顯示與編輯所選文字相關的適當使用者介面200，如第4圖內所示。例如：如第8圖內所示，圖形物件已經刪除並且游標位於文件的文字部分。因此，包含特別用於編輯圖形物件之功能的使用者介面300已經解除，並且包含工作式頁籤以及相關的選擇功能控制項之使用者介面200分組或區段已經顯示以用於提供編輯文件文字部分所需之使用者功能。
如上述，用於佈署使用者介面300來提供與特定物件相關的可選功能之一種方法為選擇給定文件內特定物件。另外，可利用將給定類型的物件插入文件內，來佈署包含與特定物件相關的功能之使用者介面300。例如：請參閱第9圖，若使用者決定將表格物件插入第9圖所示的文件內，則使用者可從使用者介面200選擇「插入」工作式頁籤220，將相關於插入文字或物件的可選功能控制項佈署到文件內。然後若使用者決定將特定物件，例如表格物件，插入文件內，則使用者可利用呈現於使用者介面200內的一或多個可選功能控制項，或使用者可發出一個對話900，如第9圖內所示，以建立所要物件，例如表格物件，並將之插入所選的文件內。
根據本發明的具體實施例，一旦使用者選擇將所要物件插入文件內，物件1050就會插入文件內，如第10圖內所示。同時，使用者介面300取代使用者介面200，顯示用於編輯新所選表格物件1050的可選功能。例如：請參閱第10圖，此時使用者介面300包含與編輯表格物件所相關的工作式頁籤。例如：說明於使用者介面300內的工作式頁籤包含「樣式圖庫」、「特效」、「邊界與陰影」、「表格配置」以及「日期」。如參考第2圖與第3圖的說明，工作式頁籤之一，例如「樣式圖庫」頁籤，的選擇，導致顯示個別或可選功能控制項1020、1030、1040的分組，用於根據所選工作式頁籤來編輯所選的物件。
第11圖至第15圖說明本發明另一具體實施例的態樣。此時請參閱第11圖，在此將參考試算表應用程式140來說明本發明此具體實施例的態樣。如第11圖內所示，顯示試算表文件，其具有資料1150的範例表格。類似於上述參考第2圖所說明使用者介面200的使用者介面1100位於試算表工作空間之上，用於提供試算表應用程式功能。在使用者介面1100的頂端上提供複數個工作式頁籤，用於選擇給定工作式功能頁籤相關的可選功能控制項之邏輯分組。例如：包含於使用者介面1100內的工作式功能頁籤包含「插入」、「頁面配置」以及「分析」等等。
根據此具體實施例的態樣，當所選用於編輯的物件，像是第11圖內說明的表格物件1150，與該所選物件相關的可選功能控制項並未取代顯示在使用者介面1100內的頁籤，但是附加至顯示在使用者介面1100內的頁籤之下的使用者介面1100。與所選物件相關的控制項會自動顯示在選擇或插入給定物件時，與使用者介面1100頁籤相關之附加方位內。在使用者介面1100內選擇任何頁籤會解除顯示用於附加至使用者介面1100之下的已選或已插入物件之控制項。例如：提供「樣式」區段1110來將試算表工作空間樣式套用至文件，提供「屬性」區段1120、提供「動作」區段1130並且提供「出版至伺服器」區段1140。根據本發明的具體實施例，因為表格物件嵌入試算表工作空間，則「表格工具」頁籤相鄰於工作式功能表頁籤1100。如所瞭解，「表格工具」頁籤的選擇可導致在使用者介面下半部內顯示與表格物件相關的可選功能控制項。
如第12圖內所示，選擇「表格工具」頁籤導致顯示所與所選表格相關之可選功能控制項。另外，顯示所與所選表格相關的可選功能控制項會自動顯示表格物件的選擇，而不需要使用「表格工具」頁籤。如所瞭解，表格物件1150的說明以及「表格工具」頁籤的使用僅為範例，並不限制本發明關於插入試算表工作空間或在其內編輯的其他物件之具體實施例操作。
請參閱第13圖，若使用者例如決定使用所選表格物件內含的資料建立一圖表，則使用者可選擇第12圖使用者介面內說明的圖表類型影像「控制項」之一。在選擇圖表用於插入試算表工作空間時，可顯示「插入圖表」對話1310讓使用者指定所選圖表的屬性。如第14圖內所示，一旦所選特定圖表屬性，會畫下對應的圖表並且顯示在試算表工作空間內。根據本發明的具體實施例，自動插入所選的圖表會導致用編輯已選和已插入圖表相關的可選功能控制項取代之前顯示的使用者介面之功能(請參閱第12圖和第13圖)。例如：「圖表結構」區段1410、「圖表選項」區段1420、「3D檢視」區段1430以及「軸比例」1440都顯示在使用者介面的下半部，以提供與編輯所選圖表相關的特定可選功能控制項。
請參閱第15圖，若使用者選擇不同功能應用於試算表工作空間，例如插入一樞軸表格，則會用插入已選或想要的樞軸表格所相關之功能來取代顯示在與編輯圖表相關的使用者介面內之特定功能，如第14圖內所示。因此，根據使用者工作的天性，例如文件內用於編輯的特定物件選擇，功能控制項變成可用並且顯示給使用者。
如此處所述，本發明揭示一種改良式使用者介面，其提供用於顯示與一所選物件相關之可選軟體功能控制項，並且當所選物件正在編輯時仍舊可看見並使用。精通此技術的人士應明白，在不悖離本發明範疇與精神前提下，可在本發明內進行各種修改以及改變。從此處所說明本發明規格與實際的考量當中，精通此技術的人士就會瞭解本發明的其他具體實施例。
