US 2023/0409182 A1 · RULE-BASED USER INTERFACE LAYOUT REARRANGEMENT

Abstract

A device identifies one or more user interface elements, in a user interface, associated with a fixed positioning characteristic and not positioned within another user interface element with the fixed positioning characteristic. The device repositions the one or more user interface elements in the user interface to vacate space for a new user interface element based on a size of the new user interface element and forgo repositioning one or more other user interface elements in the user interface that do not have the fixed positioning characteristic or are positioned within another user interface element with the fixed positioning characteristic. The device inserts the new user interface element into the user interface in a portion of the user interface vacated in connection with repositioning the one or more user interface elements, and provides the user interface for display based on inserting the new user interface element into the user interface.

Dependent claims

A method, comprising:

determining, by a device, to vacate space in a user interface based on a first user interface element;
filtering, by the device, a set of user interface elements associated with the user interface to determine a first subset of user interface elements, of the user interface elements, associated with a first type of attribute;
identifying, by the device, a second subset of user interface elements, of the user interface elements, based on filtering the set of user interface elements;
applying a transformation to a second user interface element, of the second subset of user interface elements, based on a characteristic of the first user interface element;
and
generating, by the device, an adjusted user interface based on applying the transformation to the second user interface element.
