RENDERING USER INTERFACES USING TEMPLATES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18138694 titled 'RENDERING USER INTERFACES USING TEMPLATES
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes systems and methods for rendering user interface views on electronic devices using templates. Here are the key points:
- An application process on a computing device accesses application-specific content for presentation on a user interface.
- The system process determines if the application-specific content needs to be modified based on modification information provided by the application process.
- If modification is required, the system process renders the user interface to include a visual representation of other content on the interface and a modified visual representation of the application-specific content based on the system state information of the device.
Potential applications of this technology:
- User interface design for electronic devices
- Customizing application-specific content based on system state information
- Rendering visual representations of content on user interfaces
Problems solved by this technology:
- Simplifies the process of modifying application-specific content on user interfaces
- Allows for dynamic rendering of user interfaces based on system state information
- Provides a template-based approach for rendering user interface views
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved user experience by customizing application-specific content
- Efficient modification of user interface views based on system state information
- Simplified development process for user interface design
Original Abstract Submitted
Systems and methods for rendering user interface views for electronic devices using templates are disclosed. In one or more implementations, an application process executing on a computing device accesses first application-specific content for presentation on a particular user interface. The system process determines that the first application-specific content is to be modified based on modification information specified by the application process. In response to the determination that the application-specific content is to be modified, the system process renders the particular user interface to include at least 1) a visual representation of other content of the particular user interface and 2) a visual representation of the first application-specific content as modified based on system state information of the computing device.
