Abstract
A mobile phone includes a generation unit for generating a user interface for instructing an execution unit to execute a predetermined function based on an application program, a memory unit for storing a definition file including information defining an object of the user interface, and a selection screen generation unit for generating a screen to receive selection of the object. The selection screen generation unit generates the selection screen based on object definition information of a plurality of user interfaces instructed. The generation unit generates a definition file including definition information of selected objects and also generates a compound user interface based on the definition file.
Claims6
A user interface generation apparatus comprising:
- an application program execution unit for implementing a variety of functions based on an application program;
- a user interface generation unit for generating a user interface for instructing the application program execution unit to execute a predetermined function based on the application program;
- a memory unit for storing a user interface definition file including user interface object definition information for defining a user interface object, which is a component of the user interface;
- and
- a selection screen generation unit for generating a selection screen for receiving selection of the user interface object based on the user interface object definition information, wherein
- the selection screen generation unit, if it is instructed to compound a plurality of user interfaces, generates the selection screen based on the user interface object definition information included in the user interface definition file stored in the memory unit correspondingly to each of the plurality of user interfaces instructed, and
- the user interface generation unit generates a compound user interface definition file including user interface object definition information of user interface objects selected on the selection screen, and generates a compound user interface based on the compound user interface definition file.
