Information Processing Device, Information Processing System, and User Interface Providing Method - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240036888 titled 'Information Processing Device, Information Processing System, and User Interface Providing Method

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an information processing device that executes applications and has a manifest file for each application, defining the user interface. The manifest file includes attributes for each item, specifying the data type for input/output of the setting items of the application. The device generates a user interface object based on the manifest file, allowing unified user interfaces for each application and improving user operability and developer efficiency.

  • The information processing device executes applications and has manifest files for each application.
  • The manifest file defines the user interface for the application.
  • Each item in the manifest file has an attribute specifying the data type for input/output of the setting items.
  • The device generates a user interface object based on the manifest file.
  • This allows for unified user interfaces for each application.
  • It improves user operability and developer efficiency.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Mobile devices with multiple applications can benefit from unified user interfaces, improving user experience.
  • Software development platforms can use this technology to streamline the development process and improve efficiency.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Inconsistent user interfaces across different applications can be confusing and reduce user satisfaction. This technology solves this problem by providing unified interfaces.
  • Developers often need to spend time designing and implementing user interfaces for each application. This technology simplifies the process by generating user interface objects based on the manifest file.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved user operability: Users can easily navigate and interact with applications due to the unified user interfaces.
  • Enhanced developer efficiency: Developers can save time and effort by using the manifest file to generate user interface objects, improving the development process.
  • Consistent user experience: Unified user interfaces across applications provide a consistent and familiar experience for users, increasing satisfaction.


Original Abstract Submitted

this information processing device for executing applications holds, for each of the applications, a manifest file (user interface definition file) in which a user interface for the application is defined. the manifest file is designated with an attribute of data type for each item for defining a user interface object through which a setting item of the application is inputted/outputted. the information processing device generates the user interface object at which setting of the application is performed on the basis of the manifest file. accordingly, for each of the applications, the user interface regarding setting of the application is unified, operability of a user is improved, and development efficiency of an application developer is improved.
