  • CONTEXTUAL COMPUTER WORKSPACE
    Publication number: 20080244444
    Abstract: A contextual computer workspace feature provides users with a mechanism to capture and output a state of a contextual computer workspace so that the user may continue working on a computer-based task as though no interruptions occurred. A state of a contextual computer workspace, including the window views and content thereof, is captured. Upon capturing a state of a contextual computer workspace, an indication to access the contextual computer workspace is received. The state of the contextual computer workspace is restored and the restored state is then output to communicate the contextual computer workspace to the user.
