Method and apparatus for complete size adaptation of object to be displayed

An apparatus comprising:

• one or more processors;
• memory;
• an acquisition unit stored in the memory and executable by the one or more processors to obtain elements and description information of the elements included in an object to be displayed using designated property identifiers configured to label the elements and the description information of the elements, the description information of the elements including:
• information of parent-child relationships among the elements, and
• rules defining positional relationships among the elements and adaptation orders of the elements, enabling the elements to be adaptably fitted together to be displayed in a display area based on the parent-child relationships, independently of the size of the display area;
• and
• a determination unit stored in the memory and executable by the one or more processors to determine sizes and positions of the elements for adapting to a current display area based on the description information of the elements and the size information of the current display area, the determination further including:
• determining whether the rules include an indication of a priority order for determining the sizes and the positions of the elements;
• in response to a determination that the rules include the indication of the priority order, determining the sizes and positions of the elements according to the indication of the priority order;
• and
• in response to a determination that the rules do not include the indication of the priority order, determining the priority order according to an order of declaration of the elements and determining the sizes and positions of the elements according to the order of declaration;
• and
• a display configured to display the elements in the current display area using the sizes and the positions that are determined.

One or more computer-readable media storing executable instruction that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform acts comprising:

• obtaining elements and description information of the elements included in an object to be displayed using designated property identifiers configured to label the elements and the description information of the elements, the description information of the elements including:
• information of parent-child relationships among the elements, and
• rules defining positional relationships among the elements and adaptation orders of the elements, enabling the elements to be adaptably fitted together to be displayed in a display area, independently of the size of the display area based on the parent-child relationships;
• determining sizes and positions of the elements for adapting to a current display area based on the description information of the elements and the size information of the current display area, the determination further including
• determining whether the rules include an indication of a priority order for determining the sizes and the positions of the elements;
• in response to a determination that the rules include the indication of the priority order, determining the sizes and positions of the elements according to the indication of the priority order;
• and
• in response to a determination that the rules do not include the indication of the priority order, determining the priority order according to an order of declaration of the elements and determining the sizes and positions of the elements according to the order of declaration;
• and
• displaying the elements in the current display area using the sizes and the positions that are determined.
