Abstract
A system and a method are described for providing a graphical user interface display with a conspicuous image element. In one example, a particular image element is first identified. Predetermined rules are then applied to ensure that the particular image element in a first window in a displayable image has a unique user visible display attribute absent from other image elements in the first window. Predetermined rules are also applied to ensure that the unique display attribute is absent from other image elements in any other window concurrently displayed in the displayed image. The particular image element is then enabled to be responsive to user selection.
Claims23
A method for providing a graphical user interface display with a conspicuous image element, comprising the steps of:
- identifying a particular image element;
- applying predetermined rules to ensure said particular image element in a first window in a displayable image has a unique user visible display attribute absent from other image elements in said first window and absent from other image elements in any other window concurrently displayed in said displayed image;
- and
- enabling said particular image element to be responsive to user selection.
A method for providing a graphical user interface display with a conspicuous image element, comprising the steps of:
- identifying a particular image element;
- applying a predetermined rule to determine whether a display attribute of said particular image element is unique in an image region;
- and
- if said display attribute of the particular image element is not unique in said image region, changing an associated display attribute of another image element in said image region having the same attribute as that of the particular image element.
A method for providing a graphical user interface display with a conspicuous image element, comprising the steps of:
- identifying a particular image element;
- applying a predetermined rule to determine whether a display attribute of said particular image element is unique in an image region;
- and
- if said display attribute of the particular image element is not unique in said image region, changing said display attribute of the particular image element to a unique display attribute in the image region.
A system for providing a graphical user interface display with a conspicuous image element, comprising:
- a user interface device operative to highlight a particular image element;
- and
- a processor operative to apply predetermined rules to ensure said particular image element in a first window in a displayable image has a unique user visible display attribute absent from other image elements in said first window and absent from other image elements in any other window concurrently displayed in said displayed image, so that said particular image element is enabled to be responsive to user selection.
