Abstract
A computer-implementable method enables a user to customize navigation of User Interface (UI) resources that are displayed on a computer User Interface (UI). A computer receives, from a user, an input of user-created metadata. This user-created metadata is associated with one or more UI resources that are depicted on a UI. In response to a user inputting specific metadata, the computer retrieves one or more UI resources that are associated with the specific metadata that has been input by the user. These retrieved one or more UI resources are displayed on the UI.
Claims20
A computer-implementable method for customizing navigation of User Interface (UI) resources that are displayed on a computer User Interface (UI), the computer-implementable method comprising:
- receiving an input of user-created metadata;
- associating the user-created metadata with one or more User Interface (UI) resources that are depicted on a User Interface (UI);
- in response to a user inputting specific metadata, retrieving one or more UI resources that are associated with the specific metadata that has been input by the user;
- and
- displaying, on the UI, the one or more UI resources that are associated with the specific metadata that has been input by the user.
A system comprising:
- a processor;
- a data bus coupled to the processor;
- a memory coupled to the data bus;
- and
- a computer-usable medium embodying computer program code, the computer program code comprising instructions executable by the processor and configured for customizing navigation of User Interface (UI) resources that are displayed on a computer User Interface (UI) by performing the steps of:
- receiving an input of user-created metadata;
- associating the user-created metadata with one or more User Interface (UI) resources that are depicted on a User Interface (UI);
- in response to a user inputting specific metadata, retrieving one or more UI resources that are associated with the specific metadata that has been input by the user;
- and
- displaying, on the UI, the one or more UI resources that are associated with the specific metadata that has been input by the user.
A computer-readable medium encoded with a computer program, the computer program comprising computer executable instructions configured for:
- receiving an input of user-created metadata;
- associating the user-created metadata with one or more User Interface (UI) resources that are depicted on a User Interface (UI);
- in response to a user inputting specific metadata, retrieving one or more UI resources that are associated with the specific metadata that has been input by the user;
- and
- displaying, on the UI, the one or more UI resources that are associated with the specific metadata that has been input by the user.
