发明名称 Graphical user interface for use in a de-centralized network environment
摘要 A method of providing a graphical user interface on a client network device is described. The client network device is coupled to a server network device and has a local storage facility, such as a hard disk unit, storing a first version of a software program. The method requires the selection of the first version of the software program as an execution version of the software program. A graphic object identifying the software program is displayed, the graphic object being user selectable to execute the execution version of the software program. A version control indicator, for example an icon, is displayed and indicates to a user of the client network device whether or not a second version of the software program, propagated to the client network device from the server network device, will automatically be selected as the execution version of the software program. The first version may be a recommended version of the software program, and the selection step may comprise selecting the recommended version of the software program as the execution version.
