Abstract
An apparatus includes an interface builder, template engine, and an assembler. The template engine is operable to identify a reference template associated with an object selected from a first user interface. The assembler is operable to assemble a request from the identified reference template and state data corresponding to the reference template. The builder is operable to process a user interface description retrieved using the request to cause the display of a second user interface.
Claims20
An apparatus, comprising a builder, template engine, and an assembler, wherein:
- the template engine is operable to identify a reference template associated with an object selected from a first user interface;
- the assembler is operable to assemble a request from the identified reference template and state data corresponding to the reference template;
- and
- the builder is operable to process a user interface description retrieved using the request to cause the display of a second user interface.
A computer readable medium having instructions that when executed cause the implementation of a method, the method comprising:
- identifying a reference template associated with an object selected from a first user interface;
- assembling a request from the identified reference template and state data corresponding to the reference template;
- and
- processing a user interface description retrieved using the request to cause the display of a second user interface.
A system comprising an interface description manager and a device interface, wherein:
- the device interface is configured to receive a request assembled by a device from a first reference template and state data corresponding to the first reference template;
- the interface description manager is configured to acquire a user interface description compatible with the state data, the user interface description defining a plurality of objects and a plurality of second reference templates, each second reference template being associated with a different one of the objects;
- and
- the device interface is operable to cause the device to process the user interface description to a display a user interface having the defined objects.
