ABSTRACT:
A breadcrumb path for use in navigating a hierarchical data set may be supplemented with one or more supplemental breadcrumbs representing preferred locations within the hierarchical data set. The supplemental breadcrumb may represent a previously visited location within the hierarchical data set, and may be further limited to the previously visited locations that are subordinate to the currently selected location. The supplemental breadcrumb may also represent a frequently visited location within the hierarchical data set. For scoped hierarchical data sets, the preferred location may represent a previously visited location within the scope of the selected location, or a frequently visited location within the scope of the selected location. Several embodiments of user interface components featuring such supplemented breadcrumb lists and having various advantages are presented, as well as a few contexts for applying such supplemental breadcrumbs in a breadcrumb list.
