Definitions
- This invention relates generally to graphical user interfaces. More particularly, this invention relates to resizing of elements within a graphical user interface.
- GUI graphical user interfaces
- a dialog is essentially an interface that allows the user to communicate with the program, e.g. the common dialog boxes of Microsoft Windows 98TM.
- skins are available to "cover” the basic graphical user interface supplied by the program. These “skins” serve as a GUI that replaces the basic graphical user interface supplied with the program. These skins can be supplied as optional GUI's with the program itself or by third parties. The skin provides the user with options other than the standard graphical user interface supplied with the program. Thus, the user can choose a skin that appeals to that user's personal preferences.
- GUI's have in the past been expandable such that all of the features expand or compress, e.g., as is commonly done by pulling on the corner of a dialog box.
- Such expansion or compression results in a proportional change in the spatial relationships of the entire box, for example, through stretching, expansion or compression of the entire box.
- various components of the skin can become distorted. Consequently, if the skin contains a logo, a trademark, copyrightable subject matter, artwork, etc. the act of expanding the entire skin can result in a distortion of content of the skin. Such distortion is undesirable when the creator of the skin desires to maintain certain aspects of the appearance of the GUI regardless of how the remainder of the GUI is altered.
- One embodiment of the invention provides a system for providing an initial configuration of the GUI for use by a user; and, configuring a subsection of the GUI so as to allow the user to reconfigure the shape of a subsection during use by the user.
- Another embodiment of the invention provides a system for providing a graphical user interface; defining a subsection of the graphical user interface; and designating the subsection of the graphical user interface as reconfigurable, so that during use the user can reconfigure the subsection without reconfiguring the entire graphical user interface.
- Yet another embodiment of the invention provides a system for providing a graphical user interface; defining a subsection of the graphical user interface; and designating the subsection of the graphical user interface as non-reconfigurable, so that during use the user can reconfigure the remainder of the graphical user interface without reconfiguring the designated subsection of the graphical user interface.
- Fig. 1 illustrates a flowchart for an embodiment of the invention in which a subsection of a graphical user interface is reconfigured by a user.
- Fig. 2 illustrates a flowchart for an embodiment of the invention in which a subsection of a graphical user interface is designated as reconfigurable while the remainder of the graphical user interface is not designated as reconfigurable.
- Fig. 3 illustrates a flowchart for an example of an embodiment of the invention in which limits of reconfiguration are defined for a subsection of a graphical user interface.
- Fig. 4 illustrates a flowchart for an embodiment of the invention in which a subsection of a graphical user interface is designated as non-reconfigurable.
- Fig. 5 illustrates a flowchart for an embodiment of the invention in which spatial properties are defined for a subsection of a graphical user interface.
- Fig. 6 illustrates a flowchart for an embodiment of the invention in which spatial properties are defined for various aspects of a graphical user interface.
- Fig. 7 illustrates a graphical user interface comprised of three subsections which can be designated as reconfigurable or non-reconfigurable.
- Fig. 8 illustrates an example of the effect of designating the subsections in Fig. 7 as reconfigurable or non-reconfigurable after expansion of the graphical user interface.
- Fig. 1 illustrates a flow chart 100 for implementing this embodiment of the invention.
- a graphical user interface is provided in block 104.
- Such a GUI could take the form of an audio player which allows the control of an audio datastream, such as one might currently use in the RealPlayerTM by RealNetworks, Inc.
- the GUI could take the form of a video player that controls the display of a video data stream.
- other applications of such a GUI could be applied as well.
- an initial configuration of the GUT is provided.
- An exemplary block diagram of such a GUI is shown in Fig. 7 as element 700.
- the GUI 700 can be comprised of a plurality of subelements or subsections.
- the GUI is shown in Fig. 7 comprised of subsections 704, 708, and 712.
- such subsections could be artwork, logos, text blocks, trademarks or service marks, copyrightable material. They might take the form, for example, of buttons, arrows, company names, screens for showing streaming video or stored video.
- a variety of subelements can exist within the graphical user interface.
- this embodiment of the invention allows a user, such as the designer of the GUI, to configure a subsection of the GUI such that the end-user (for example the person who will interface with the GUI) can reconfigure the shape of the subsection during use.
- the end-user for example the person who will interface with the GUI
- an end-user would be able to change the shape of a component of the GUI while not changing other components of the GUI.
- Current systems enlarge all components of a GUI equally, without allowing the end-user to reconfigure individual components of the GUI independently of the remainder of the GUI. Consequently, this embodiment of the invention facilitates the design of the GUI for the designer and the manipulation of the GUI by the end-user.
- Fig. 2 illustrates a flow chart 200 for implementing another embodiment of the invention.
- a graphical user interface is provided in block 204.
- a subsection of the graphical user interface is defined in block 208.
- text that a designer does not want distorted can be designated as the subsection.
- rules of reconfiguring the text can be set for that specific subsection of text. This allows the designer to control distortion of such text and protect its look and feel to a user.
- a designer of a GUI designates a subsection of the original GUI. Then, spatial rules can be designated for that particular subsection as shown in block 216. Then, as shown in block 220, a determination is made as to whether the designer desires to set rules for other subsections of the GUI. If other subsections do exist, then the flow chart repeats blocks 208, 212, and 216. Upon completion of setting rules for all desired subsections, the remainder of the GUI can be designated as non-reconfigurable, as shown in block 224.
- the modified GUI can be supplied through a variety of ways for use by the end-user.
- the end-user can reconfigure a subsection without reconfiguring the entire GUI, as shown in block 228. For example, if a designer specified a row of buttons as reconfigurable, but not the company logo that appeared as part of a skin, the user would be able to reconfigure the row of buttons while not being able to reconfigure or distort the company logo.
- Such a system allows the designer to control the overall look and feel of a GUI, while still providing an end-user with the ability to modify a GUI (e.g., a skin) to some degree.
- a GUI is stored as a text file that a designer accesses through a program, such as the commercially available program PHOTOSHOPTM by Adobe Systems, Inc.
- a program such as the commercially available program PHOTOSHOPTM by Adobe Systems, Inc.
- the designer of the modified GUI or skin can designate subsections and define properties for those subsections.
- the defined properties will control how that modified GUI or skin can be reconfigured.
- flow chart 300 of Fig. 3 illustrates an example of how the spatial rules can be set for a particular subsection of a GUI.
- an expansion size limit is set for the designated subsection of the GUI.
- a designer may determine that some expansion of a subsection is acceptable; however, at the same time, the designer may determine that the expansion must be limited at some point.
- Blocks 308 and 312 illustrates examples of how such limits could be implemented. For example, one could utilize the height of the subsection to define the expansion size limit. Similarly, as shown by block 312, the designer could designate the width of the subsection to define the expansion size limit of the subsection.
- blocks 320 and 324 illustrate that such compression limits may be defined by the width of the subsection as shown in block 320 or the height of the subsection as shown by block 324.
- Expansion and compression are but two examples of spatial limits that could be imposed on a subsection.
- other limitations such as limitations on stretching a subsection could be imposed, for example.
- limitations on how a subsection is relocated within a GUI relative to a reference point could be implemented.
- a subsection that originally resided in one corner of a GUI for example, could be designated as movable to any of the other corners of the GUI, but not the middle. This allows the end-user of a GUI (e.g., a skin) to relocate elements within a GUI, but also allows the designer of the GUI to control where the subsections can be relocated to. In this manner, limits can be defined to allow the end-user to relocate the subsection position within the graphical user interface.
- Fig. 4 illustrates yet another embodiment of the invention via flow chart 400.
- a GUI is provided.
- a subsection of the GUI is defined. The subsection is designated by the designer of the modified GUI as non-reconfigurable in block 412.
- the designated subsection retains its shape.
- spatial rules can be set for the remainder of the GUI, as shown in block 420.
- an end-user is permitted to reconfigure the remainder of the GUI that has not been designated as non-reconfigurable, while not reconfiguring the subsection of the GUI that was designated as non-reconfigurable.
- an end-user clicks on a corner of a dialog box GUI and drags the corner so as to expand the GUI the reconfigurable portions of the GUI will expand, while the non-reconfigurable portions will retain their original shape as designated by the designer.
- the designer is able to maintain certain features of the appearance of the GUI while allowing the end-user to modify the GUI.
- the subsection could be fixed in a location relative to a reference point. For example, consider that a GUI is stretched.
- Fig. 5 illustrates yet another embodiment of the invention.
- a GUI is provided. Again, a subsection of the GUI is designated, for example through the PHOTOSHOP software and a mouse interface device, as shown in block 508. In block 512, spatial properties of the subsection are defined. In block 516, a determination is made as to whether there are other subsections to designate. If so, those subsections are designated. If not, the GUI can be reconfigured by an end-user (e.g., someone using a video player application program) while retaining the spatial properties defined earlier.
- Fig. 6 illustrates examples of how the spatial properties of a subsection can be defined. For example, in block 604, spatial properties of a textual subsection are defined. Thus, the maximum and minimum size of the text could be set.
- the relocation limits of the text could be set as a spatial property.
- the limits on where a subsection of text is relocated to within a GUI are defined.
- block 608 shows that spatial properties of an artwork subsection could be defined, for example, a company logo or trademark as shown in blocks 612 and 616.
- Figs. 7 and 8 illustrate an example of how the embodiments of the invention can be implemented.
- Fig.7 illustrates a GUI 700 which has at least three subsections 704, 708, and 712. Each of these subsections can be designated by a designer of the GUI as either a reconfigurable block with property limits or as a non-reconfigurable block.
- block 704 has been designated as a non-reconfigurable block with a static location relative to the upper lefthand corner of the GUI 700 outline.
- Such a block might be designated for a logo that goes on the GUI, such that the logo is not distorted regardless of how the end-user stretches the GUI 700.
- blocks, 708 and 712 are designated as subsections that can expand to predefined limits.
- Figs. 7 and 8 also illustrate how block 712 is designated to maintain a spatial distance from block 704 such that the same spatial distance is maintained in Fig. 8 as shown by the distance between subsections 804 and 812.
- One embodiment of the invention allows a designer to control the look and feel of a GUI, as illustrated in block 620.
- the designer can control the look and feel of any reconfigured GUI while allowing the end-user to freely alter other aspects of the GUI that do not alter the look and feel.
- various embodiments of the invention have been described as methods or apparatus for implementing the invention. It should be understood that the invention can be implemented through code coupled to a computer, e.g., code resident on a computer or accessible by the computer. For example, software and databases could be utilized to implement many of the methods discussed above.
- embodiments of the invention could be accomplished as computer signals embodied in a carrier wave, as well as electrical signals propagated through a transmission medium.
- the various information discussed above could be formatted in a structure, such as a data structure, and transmitted as an electrical signal through a transmission medium.
