Devices, Methods, and Graphical User Interfaces for Seamless Transition of User Interface Behaviors - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18380617 titled 'Devices, Methods, and Graphical User Interfaces for Seamless Transition of User Interface Behaviors
Simplified Explanation
An electronic device is described that displays user interface elements based on output properties and detects user input directed to a specific element. The device modifies the output property value of the element based on behavior models driven by input parameters. If the element meets certain criteria, it performs a corresponding operation.
- The device displays user interface elements based on output properties and modifies their values based on user input and behavior models.
- It detects changes in input parameters that describe the user input.
- The device performs different operations based on whether the output property value of the element meets certain criteria.
- The behavior models are driven by the input parameters of the user input.
Potential applications of this technology:
- User interface design for electronic devices
- Interactive displays and touchscreens
- Gaming consoles and virtual reality systems
Problems solved by this technology:
- Enhances user experience by dynamically adjusting user interface elements based on user input
- Allows for more intuitive and personalized interactions with electronic devices
- Improves efficiency and effectiveness of user interface design
Benefits of this technology:
- Provides a more responsive and adaptable user interface
- Increases user engagement and satisfaction
- Enables efficient and effective user interactions with electronic devices
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device displays a plurality of user interface elements in accordance with values of an associated plurality of output properties that define output attributes of respective user interface elements; and detects a user input directed to a first user interface element, including detecting changes to one or more input parameters that describe the user input. The device modifies a first output property value of the first user interface element based on one or more behavior models that are driven by one or more input parameters of the user input; if the user interface meets first operation criteria (e.g., the first output property value of the first user interface element is above a first threshold), performs a first operation; and if the user interface meets second operation criteria (e.g., the first output property value of the first user interface element is below the first threshold), performs a second operation.
