Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
When a program invokes a synchronous user interface display, it is determined whether an asynchronous user interface (UI) display needs to be generated. If so, the user interface thread invoked by the synchronous program is blocked and the asynchronous UI display is generated and displayed so that it covers the synchronous display on the UI display screen. When the processing corresponding to the synchronous user interface display is complete, processing returns to the synchronous user interface display and the user interface thread invoked by the synchronous program is unblocked.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed: 1. A computer-implemented method of processing a synchronous user interface thread by a synchronous program, comprising: detecting that the synchronous program is invoking a synchronous user interface display; detecting that an asynchronous user interface is to be displayed; blocking the synchronous user interface thread, using a synchronous user interface thread handling component, based on the asynchronous user interface thread; displaying the asynchronous…
