METHOD OF GROUPING USER INTERFACES IN AN ENVIRONMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18515188 titled 'METHOD OF GROUPING USER INTERFACES IN AN ENVIRONMENT
Simplified Explanation
Methods for organizing user interfaces in a computer-generated environment aim to enhance user experience by grouping interfaces into containers, adding or removing interfaces, and moving them within containers. Visual indications may precede adding interfaces, and interfaces can replace existing ones. Transparency of obscured interfaces can be adjusted when moving them.
- Grouping user interfaces into containers
- Adding, removing, and moving interfaces within containers
- Displaying visual indications before adding interfaces
- Replacing existing interfaces in containers
- Modifying transparency of obscured interfaces when moving them
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in software development, virtual reality environments, and user interface design tools.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of cluttered and disorganized user interfaces in computer-generated environments, leading to a more efficient and intuitive user experience.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved organization, easier navigation, and enhanced user interaction in digital environments.
Potential Commercial Applications
"Enhancing User Experience through Organized Interfaces in Computer-Generated Environments
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods for displaying and organizing user interfaces in a computer-generated environment provide for an efficient and intuitive user experience. In some embodiments, user interfaces can be grouped together into a container. In some embodiments, user interfaces can be added to a container, removed from a container, or moved from one location in the container to another location. In some embodiments, a visual indication is displayed before a user interface is added to a container. In some embodiments, a user interface can replace an existing user interface in a container. In some embodiments, when moving a user interface in a computer-generated environment, the transparency of a user interface that is obscured can be modified.
