Abstract
A method and system are provided which allows enhanced support to graphical user interface (GUI) displays on multiple monitors. An extended markup language file provides code to configure each GUI. GUI software need not be re-compiled in order to implement changes in the layout of displays or to accommodate additional monitors. Potential display event handling delays are minimized by providing multiple Java Virtual Machines (JVMs)for GUIs. In one aspect, one JVM is provided for each GUI.
Claims27
A computing system comprising:
- a plurality of monitors;
- a computer programmed with a file that includes graphic user display information for configuration of visual content on said plurality of monitors.
A multi-modal computing system comprising:
- a computer programmed to implement a plurality of Java Virtual Machines (JVMs), said plurality of JVMs defining a plurality of graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for use with a plurality of monitors.
A method of supporting multiple displays by a multi-modal computing system comprising:
- providing a GUI configuration file for a computer used in connection with a workstation providing selected graphical user displays to a plurality of monitors;
- and
- parsing said file in connection with providing GUIs on said monitors.
