Organizing Session Applications

Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and methods for organizing session applications. Briefly described, in architecture, one embodiment of the system, among others, includes logic configured to display a user interface for initiating a command to launch a business application on a computer display of a user; logic configured to associate a launched business application with a user-session; logic configured to display a plurality of the business applications of an active session on the computer display; a first user interface control for allowing a user to initiate a command for organizing the displayed applications of the active session in a predetermined alignment across the computer display; and logic configured to arrange the displayed application of the active session after receiving the command from the user. Other systems and methods are also provided.

1 . A system for organizing session applications on a computer display comprising:
 a computer processor configured to execute:   logic configured to concurrently display a plurality of windows attributed to computer applications of an active session on the computer display;   a first user interface control for allowing a user to initiate a command for organizing the displayed windows attributed to computer applications of the active session in a predetermined alignment across the computer display so that an existing displayed arrangement of the windows attributed to computer applications is to be changed to the predetermined alignment; and   logic configured to arrange the displayed windows attributed to computer applications of the active session after receiving the user-command such that the launched windows attributed to computer applications of the active session are displayed in the predetermined alignment and positioning of a launched window attributed to a computer application not belonging to the active session remains unchanged on the computer display.   
   
   
       2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the predetermined alignment is a tiled alignment. 
   
   
       3 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein the windows attributed to displayed applications are arranged in the predetermined alignment in order of most recently accessed by the user. 
   
   
       4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the predetermined alignment is a cascaded alignment. 
   
   
       5  . The system of  claim 4 , wherein the windows attributed to displayed applications are arranged in the predetermined alignment in order of most recently accessed by the user. 
   
   
       6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of business computer processes performs tasks pertinent to a call-center environment. 
   
   
       7 . A method for organizing session applications, comprising:
 concurrently displaying a plurality of respective window representations for corresponding computer applications of an active session on a display of a computer;   receiving a user-command to organize the displayed windows attributed to computer applications of the active session in a predetermined alignment on the computer display so that an existing arrangement of the windows attributed to computer applications is to be changed to the predetermined alignment; and   arranging the displayed windows attributed to computer applications of the active session in the predetermined alignment, after receiving the user-command such that the launched windows attributed to the computer applications of the active session are displayed in a predetermined alignment and positioning of a launched window attributed to a computer application not belonging to the active session remains unchanged on the computer display.   
   
   
       8 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the plurality of business computer processes performs tasks pertinent to a call-center environment. 
   
   
       9 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the predetermined alignment is a tiled alignment. 
   
   
       10 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the windows attributed to the displayed applications are arranged in the predetermined alignment in order of most recently accessed by the user. 
   
   
       11 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the predetermined alignment is a cascaded alignment. 
   
   
       12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the windows attributed to the displayed applications are arranged in the predetermined alignment in order of most recently accessed by the user. 
   
   
       13 . The method of  claim 7 , further comprising:
 receiving a location of a displayed window from an operating system for the computer applications which is used to determine an ordering for the computer applications of the active session.   
   
   
       14 . A computer-readable storage medium having a program for organizing session applications, the program having instructions for performing:
 concurrently displaying a plurality of respective window representations for corresponding computer applications of an active session on a display of a computer;   receiving a user-command to organize the displayed windows attributed to computer applications of the active session in a predetermined alignment on the computer display so that an existing arrangement of the windows attributed to computer applications is to be changed to the predetermined alignment; and   arranging the displayed windows attributed to computer applications of the active session in the predetermined alignment, after receiving the user-command such that the launched windows attributed to the computer applications of the active session are displayed in a predetermined alignment and positioning of a launched window attributed to a computer application not belonging to the active session remains unchanged on the computer display.   
   
   
       15 . The medium of  claim 14 , wherein the plurality of business computer processes performs tasks pertinent to a call-center environment. 
   
   
       16 . The medium of  claim 14 , wherein the predetermined alignment is a tiled alignment. 
   
   
       17 . The medium of  claim 16 , wherein the windows attributed to the displayed applications are arranged in the predetermined alignment in order of most recently accessed by the user. 
   
   
       18 . The medium of  claim 14 , wherein the predetermined alignment is a cascaded alignment. 
   
   
       19 . The medium of  claim 18 , wherein the windows attributed to the displayed applications are arranged in the predetermined alignment in order of most recently accessed by the user. 
   
   
       20 . The medium of  claim 14 , the program further comprising instructions for performing:
 receiving a location of a displayed window from an operating system for the computer applications which is used to determine an ordering for the computer applications of the active session.
