  • QUICK ACCESS UTILITY
    Publication number: 20110125733
    Abstract: Users are enabled to perform tasks such as creating new content, searching for items, communicating with other users through a simplified access interface, at the same time defining a location for the access interface. A user may begin typing at any location on a canvas. The system ranks possible outcomes, suggesting one as the best match, where the user can override that choice upon which the resulting action is displayed at the point the input was initially placed. The user may be provided options to select among available tasks and the tasks may be performed without selecting an application.
