User interface rendering and operating method, a computer program product, and a ui rendering and operating system

A computer program product comprising a machine readable storage medium having program instructions and a deployment file stored therein, the deployment file including user interface (UI) rendering data that defines a visual design of a UI, feature provider data that defines a procedure providing a feature which is linked to an element of the UI, feature identification data that defines an identification (ID) corresponding to the feature, and element rendering data that defines a visual design of the element, said program instructions, when executed, causing a processor to implement a parent procedure for performing a user interface (UI) rendering and operating method, the UI rendering and operating method including the steps of:

• (A) parsing the deployment file so as to obtain the UI rendering data;
• (B) parsing the deployment file so as to obtain the feature provider data, the feature identification data, and the element rendering data;
• (C) generating the element;
• (D) binding the feature provider data and the feature identification data to the element;
• (E) rendering the UI with reference to the UI rendering data;
• and
• (F) rendering the element in the UI with reference to the element rendering data.

A user interface (UI) rendering and operating system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory unit storing a deployment file and plurality of program instructions, the program instructions being executable by said processor to implement a parent procedure that includes a parser unit and a rendering unit;
• wherein the parser unit is configured to:
• parse the deployment file so as to obtain UI rendering data that defines a visual design of the UI;
• parse the deployment file so as to obtain feature provider data that defines a procedure providing a feature which is linked to an element of the UI, feature identification data that defines an identification (ID) corresponding to the feature, and element rendering data that defines a visual design of the element;
• generate the element;
• and
• bind the feature provider data and the feature identification data to the element;
• and
• wherein the rendering unit is configured to:
• render the UI with reference to the UI rendering data;
• and
• render the element in the UI with reference to the element rendering data.
