- a configuration of a UI screen having a display method to be displayed on the display is determined. That is, the design UI parts are arranged in a plurality of pages, and a predetermined number of design UI parts are sequentially arranged on the display.
- the UI configuration determination unit 10 changes the arrangement of the design UI parts distributed to each page as the configuration of the second UI screen according to the configuration of the first embodiment. That is, the UI configuration determination unit 10 changes the display density of UI components on the UI screen according to the assumed user. It is preferable that the display density is such that all the design UI parts on each page are displayed on the display at the same time.

Abstract
Description
まず、本実施形態の概要を説明する。
本実施形態では、UI画面に配置するUI部品を変更(取捨選択)せずに、想定ユーザに応じて、UI画面上におけるUI部品の表示密度(配置密度)を変更する。また、所定のUI部品全てをUI画面に配置するために、UI部品の表示密度(配置密度)に応じてUI画面の大きさ(面積)を変更し、必要に応じてUI画面にスクロール表示手法を取り入れる。本実施形態ではこのような構成により、UI画面に表示される情報の同一性を確保したまま、ディスプレイに同時に表示される情報の量を変更することを実現する。
「想定ユーザに応じて」とは、例えば「所定のサービスにおける想定ユーザの習熟度に応じて」であってもよい。かかる場合、UI構成決定部10は、想定ユーザの当該習熟度が高い場合、ディスプレイに同時に表示されるUI部品の数が多くなり、想定ユーザの当該習熟度が低い場合、ディスプレイに同時に表示されるUI部品の数が少なくなるように、UI画面の構成を決定してもよい。
まず、UI作成部40は、UI画面上に使用情報を配置する位置(以下、「オフセット位置」)を初期位置に設定する(S201)。ここでの初期位置は、ページタイトル、ログイン名、ヘルプ・ガイダンス情報などを表示した領域(ヘッダ領域)の下に位置する領域の左端とするが(図2乃至4参照)、これに限られるものではない。
複数のUI部品が配置される所定のサービス用のUI画面を作成するための支援を行うためのプログラムであって、コンピュータを、
前記UI画面を使用する想定ユーザに応じて、前記複数のUI部品の全てを含みつつディスプレイに同時に表示される前記UI部品の数を変更して、前記想定ユーザ用の前記UI画面の構成を決定するUI構成決定手段として機能させるためのプログラム。
まず、本実施形態の概要を説明する。
本実施形態では、UI画面に配置するUI部品を変更(取捨選択)せずに、想定ユーザに応じて、UI画面を複数のページに分割し、UI部品を複数のページに分けて表示する。本実施形態ではこのような構成により、UI画面に表示される情報の同一性を確保したまま、ディスプレイに同時に表示される情報の量を変更することを実現する。
本実施形態のUI作成支援装置1の構成の一例を示す機能ブロック図は第1の実施形態と同様である。すなわち、図1に示すように、本実施形態のUI作成支援装置1は、UI構成決定部10を有する。また、本実施形態のUI作成支援装置1は、その他、入力受付部20、UI部品保持部30、UI作成部40及び出力部50を有してもよい。
