Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for providing positionable dynamic content. A system receives a selection of a part of help options displayed by a user interface. The system identifies content corresponding to the part of help options and a location of a displayed element corresponding to the part of help options. The system loads a tooltip with the content corresponding to the part of help options. The system outputs the tooltip at a position based on the location of the displayed element corresponding to the part of help options via the user interface.
Claims20
An apparatus for providing positionable dynamic content, the apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- one or more stored sequences of instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to carry out the steps of:
- receiving a selection of a part of help options displayed by a user interface;
- identifying content corresponding to the part of help options and a location of a displayed element corresponding to the part of help options;
- loading a tooltip with the content corresponding to the part of help options;
- and
- outputting the tooltip at a position based on the location of the displayed element corresponding to the part of help options via the user interface.
A machine-readable medium carrying one or more sequences of instructions for providing positionable dynamic content, which instructions, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to carry out the steps of:
- receiving a selection of a part of help options displayed by a user interface;
- identifying content corresponding to the part of help options and a location of a displayed element corresponding to the part of help options;
- determining whether a tooltip has been created for the help options;
- creating the tooltip for the help options in response to a determination that the tooltip has not been created for the help options;
- loading the tooltip with the content corresponding to the part of help options;
- and
- outputting the tooltip at a position based on the location of the displayed element corresponding to the part of help options via the user interface.
A method for providing positionable dynamic content, the method comprising:
- receiving a selection of a part of help options displayed by a user interface;
- identifying content corresponding to the part of help options, a location of a displayed element corresponding to the part of help options, and a relative position to the location of the displayed element;
- loading a tooltip with the content corresponding to the part of help options;
- and
- outputting the tooltip at a position based on the location of the displayed element corresponding to the part of help options and the relative position to the location of the displayed element via the user interface.
A method for transmitting code for providing positionable dynamic content, the method comprising:
- transmitting code to receive a selection of a part of help options displayed by a user interface;
- transmitting code to identify content corresponding to the part of help options, a location of a displayed element corresponding to the part of help options, and a relative position to the location of the displayed element;
- transmitting code to determine whether a tooltip has been created for the help options;
- transmitting code to create the tooltip for the help options in response to a determination that the tooltip has not been created for the help options
- transmitting code to load the tooltip with the content corresponding to the part of help options;
- and
- transmitting code to output the tooltip at a position based on the location of the displayed element corresponding to the part of help options and the relative position to the location of the displayed element via the user interface.
