METHOD OF GROUPING USER INTERFACES IN AN ENVIRONMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240086031 titled 'METHOD OF GROUPING USER INTERFACES IN AN ENVIRONMENT
Simplified Explanation
Methods for displaying and organizing user interfaces in a computer-generated environment aim to enhance user experience by providing efficiency and intuitiveness.
- User interfaces can be grouped together into a container.
- User interfaces can be added to, removed from, or moved within a container.
- A visual indication is displayed before adding a user interface to a container.
- A user interface can replace an existing one in a container.
- Transparency of obscured user interfaces can be modified when moving them in the environment.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in virtual reality environments, video game interfaces, and digital design tools.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of cluttered and disorganized user interfaces in computer-generated environments, leading to a more streamlined and user-friendly experience.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved user experience, easier navigation, and better organization of information within the digital environment.
Potential Commercial Applications
"Enhanced User Interface Organization in Virtual Environments" could be used in industries such as gaming, virtual reality, graphic design, and software development.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of drag-and-drop interfaces in software applications to organize elements on a screen.

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.
