Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A user interface generation apparatus 1 has a memory unit 50 for storing an application program and a control unit 10 for controlling to display a stand-alone user interface object group when instructed to generate a single user interface and for controlling to perform compound processing on user interface objects extracted from the stand-alone user interface object groups and to display a compound user interface object group. The control unit 10 , when instructed to generate the plurality of user interfaces, displays a user interface object for switching to display of a stand-alone user interface object group displayed when instructed to generate each of the plurality of user interfaces alone.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A user interface generation apparatus comprising, a memory unit capable of storing an application program; and a control unit operable such that, when instructed to generate a single user interface based on an application program stored in the memory unit, the control unit causes the display of a stand-alone user interface corresponding to the single user interface instructed and, when instructed to generate a plurality of user interfaces, the control unit causes the display of a compound user interface in which user interface objects selected from a plurality of stand-alone user interfaces corresponding to the plurality of user interfaces instructed are compounded as one user interface that enables simultaneous control of a plurality of devices, wherein the selected user interface objects of the compound user interface only enable a user to control the operation of a particular device or devices, wherein with respect to a first one of the stand-alone interfaces, the compound user interface includes only a subset of the total number of user interface objects of the first one of the stand-alone interfaces, and the control unit causes the display, in the compound user interface, of a stand-alone user interface activating object for switching to display of one of the plurality of stand-alone user interfaces, wherein the stand-alone user interface activating object is not one of the selected user interface objects, and wherein the display automatically switches between display of a compound user interface and a stand-alone user interface if user input is not detected after a predetermined period of time.
