  • Patent number: 9959358
    Abstract: An example method for facilitating software navigation includes storing navigation history information pertaining to user interaction with software; displaying one or more representations of breadcrumbs in accordance with the navigation history information, resulting in displayed breadcrumbs; detecting when a number of breadcrumbs exceeds a threshold number of breadcrumbs; and replacing, in response to the detection, one or more of the breadcrumbs with a user interface control adapted to selectively display representations of the one or more breadcrumbs in response to user selection of the user interface control. Hence, certain breadcrumbs of a breadcrumb trail may be condensed or collapsed, e.g., into a drop-down menu control, when a breadcrumb trail would otherwise be too large to display.
