Abstract
A method and system for managing the presentation or display of information items or context are described. In one aspect of the invention, the method comprises the steps of selecting an entity of a context type associated with a first display, determining at least one second display associated with the context of the selected entity; and making available information associated with the selected entity to each of the determined associated at least one second display. In another aspect of the invention, the method further provides for inhibiting the availability of information associated with the selected entity to a selected one of said determined associated second displays when the selected second display is the same as the first display. An 'activate/deactivate' capability is provided such that a display (or window) can be configured to listen to selected context or to stop listening dynamically.
