RULE-BASED LAYOUT OF CHANGING INFORMATION

摘要

Displaying application output in a manner that is not predetermined by the application, nor by the display. The computing system associated with the display accesses a set of information output by an application and to be displayed on a display. However, rather than explicit instructions on how to display being received from the application itself, the computing system instead accesses a set of one or more display rules that are associated with the set of information. The computing system then uses the set of one or more display rules to determine how to layout the set of information on the display. If the set of information were to change, the rules may be reevaluated to determine how the new information should be laid out. If the associated set of display rules were to also changed, the reevaluation would occur thereby resulting in a potentially different layout on the display.

1. A computing system comprising;
one or more processors; one or more computer-readable storage media having thereon computer-executable instructions that are structured such that, when executed by the one or more processors, the computing system becomes configured to perform the following: an act of accessing a set of information output by an application and to be displayed on a display, wherein a layout of the set of information is not predetermined by the application given the display; an act of accessing a set of one or more display rules that are associated with the set of information; and an act of using the set of one or more display rules to determine how to layout the set of information on the display.
