Abstract
A method for soliciting user interaction in a computer application includes presenting, on a first user interface screen, a most frequently accessed user interface portion for soliciting input from the user for a set of fields that are most frequently accessed. A semi-regularly access user interface portion is presented, on the first user interface screen, for allowing the user to provide input for a set of fields that are accessed semi-regularly. The user is allowed to switch to an expert user interface, on a second user interface screen, for allowing the user to provide input for any field.
Claims33
A method for soliciting user interaction in a computer application, comprising:
- presenting, on a first user interface screen, a most frequently accessed user interface portion for soliciting input from the user for a set of fields that are most frequently accessed;
- presenting, on the first user interface screen, a semi-regularly access user interface portion for allowing the user to provide input for a set of fields that are accessed semi-regularly;
- and
- allowing the user to switch to an expert user interface, on a second user interface screen, for allowing the user to provide input for any field.
A user interface for soliciting user interaction in a computer application, comprising:
- a most frequently accessed user interface portion, on a first user interface screen, for soliciting input from the user for a set of fields that are most frequently accessed;
- a semi-regularly access user interface portion, on the first user interface screen, for allowing the user to provide input for a set of fields that are accessed semi-regularly;
- and
- a link, on the first user interface screen for displaying an expert user interface, on a second user interface screen, for allowing the user to provide input for any field.
A computer system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a program storage device readable by the computer system, embodying a program of instructions executable by the processor to perform method steps for soliciting user interaction in a computer application, the method comprising:
- presenting, on a first user interface screen, a most frequently accessed user interface portion for soliciting input from the user for a set of fields that are most frequently accessed;
- presenting, on the first user interface screen, a semi-regularly access user interface portion for allowing the user to provide input for a set of fields that are accessed semi-regularly;
- and
- allowing the user to switch to an expert user interface, on a second user interface screen, for allowing the user to provide input for any field.
