EXPRESSION FOR USER INTERFACE ELEMENT HAVING SIMPLIFIED VIEW CAPABLE OF SUPPORTING NESTED USER INTERFACE

摘要

PURPOSE: Expression for a user interface element having simplified view is provided to enable unskilled users to interact with the user interface elements at a basic level by offering a powerful tool promoting reuse of software through a user interface service offering the simplified view. CONSTITUTION: The user interface elements having hierarchical expression are defined(510). For instance, a definition includes multiple nodes and a part of the nodes is selectively exposed. A user interface is created(520). For the instance, the hierarchical expression of the defined user interface is created/stored through the definition. More than one expression is performed for the expression(530). The operations are performed through the simplified view of the hierarchical expression without exposing the node selectively exposed from the expression.
