Multi-Instance User Interface Management - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17947998 titled 'Multi-Instance User Interface Management
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for identifying and managing multiple instances of a user interface. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:
- An indication of a first instance of a user interface helps identify a second opened instance.
- An element displaying the second instance is shown based on the identification.
- An indication window is displayed upon interaction, describing the first and second instances.
- The window can be scrolled to reveal data fields of additional opened instances.
- Interactive elements allow for closing opened instances.
- Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in software development tools, project management applications, and multi-tab browsing interfaces.
- Problems Solved
This innovation solves the problem of efficiently managing and navigating multiple instances of a user interface, improving user experience and productivity.
- Benefits
The benefits of this technology include enhanced organization, easier navigation, and improved workflow efficiency for users dealing with multiple instances of a user interface.
- Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications of this technology include software development tools, project management software, web browsers, and any application where users interact with multiple instances of a user interface.
- Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be tabbed browsing interfaces in web browsers, where users can easily switch between multiple open tabs.
- Unanswered Questions
- How does this technology handle security and privacy concerns related to managing multiple instances of a user interface?
This article does not address the specific security measures or privacy protocols implemented in managing multiple instances of a user interface.
- What are the system requirements for implementing this technology in existing software applications?
The article does not provide information on the system requirements or compatibility of this technology with different software environments.
Original Abstract Submitted
A second opened instance of a user interface may be identified based on an indication of a first instance of the user interface. An instance indication element indicating the second opened instance of the user interface may be displayed based on the identified second opened instance of the user interface. An instance indication window may be displayed based on an interaction with the instance indication element. Data fields of the instance indication window may describe the first and second opened instances of the user interface. The instance indication window may include a scrollable element to reveal, according to their opening sequence, additional data fields for additional opened instances of the user interface. Data fields of the instance indication window may be updated/modified to include new descriptions for any opened instance of the user interface. Moreover, the instance indication window includes interactive elements for closing opened instances of the user interface.
