Abstract
Some embodiments of the present invention provide a system that organizes and consolidates the functionality of a portable device. During operation, the system tracks the usage of at least one application and at least one data file by a user of the portable device. Next, the system determines usage-context information from the tracked usage and generates a chronological log that includes the tracked usage and the usage-context information. Finally, the system displays the chronological log to the user in a manner which enables the user to use the usage-context information to access the functionality of the portable device.
