<p>PURPOSE: To automatically generate a graphical user interface screen on the basis of layout information generated on a paper surface. CONSTITUTION: Character strings defining GUI components and a GUI design plan are inputted through an image scanner and stored in an image buffer (S1 and S2). Then a segment on the image buffer is extracted and its segment image is converted into vector information (S3). Then a rectangular segment is extracted from the extracted vector information and converted from vector information to rectangle information (S4). Then character recognition is performed to convert a character image into a character code (S5). Then the GUI component that the character code indicates and the rectangle are made to correspond to each other (S6 and S7). The recognition result is confirmed and corrected on a layout editor (S8). Then a code generator generates a GUI language on the basis of position information on the rectangle and corresponding component data (S9). Then the generated GUI language is compiled to generate a GUI screen (S10).</p> |
