Abstract

Computer-implemented method, computer system and computer program product fo r providing and processing a human interface description. A user submits data (170) by using a human interface description (160). The data (170) comprise status information of at least one layout element of human interface description (160). The computer system receives (480) the data (170). Optionally, the computer system stores (485) the data (170) in a data instan ce (150). The data instance (150) can be modified by an application program via interface (155). Preferably, the computer system provides the human interfac e description (160) by merging (470) a layout template (140-1) with the data instance (150). Preferably, the data instance (150) is instantiated from a data description (140-2).

Claims (13)

1. A computer-implemented method (400) for providing and processing a human interface description, the method (400) comprising the following steps:
providing (475) an human interface description (160) to prompt an user for data input; and receiving (480) data (170) from the user, wherein the data (170) comprise a status of at least one layout element (122, 123, 124-1, 124-2, 125, 126, 127) of the human interface description (160).
2. The method (400) of claim 1, wherein the providing step (475) comprises the further steps:
providing (450) a layout template (140-1) and a data description (140-2);
instantiating (460) a data instance (150) from the data description (140-2); and merging (470) the data instance (150) with the layout template (140-1) into an human interface description (160).
3. The method (400) of claim 1, comprising the further step:
storing (485) the data (170) .
4. The method (400) of claim 2, wherein the merging step (470) uses a transformation program in a programming language.
5. The method (400) of claim 4, wherein the transformation program is a style sheet language transformation.
6. The method of claim 1, wherein in the receiving step (480), the data (170) comprise a XPath.
7. A computer system (999) for providing and processing a human interface description; the computer system (999) comprising the following means:
a means for providing (475) an human interface description (160) to prompt an user for data input; and a means for receiving (480) data (170) from the user, wherein the data (170) comprise a status of at least one layout element (122, 123, 124-1, 124-2, 125, 126, 127) of the human interface description (160).
8. The computer system (999) of claim 7, wherein the means for providing (475) comprises the further means:
a means for providing (450) a layout template (140-1) and a data description (140-2);
a means for instantiating (460) a data instance (150) from the data description (140-2); and a means for merging (470) the data instance (150) with the layout template (140-1) into an human interface description (160).
9. The computer system (999) of claim 7, comprising a further means for storing (485) the data (170) .
10. A computer program product (100) having a plurality of instructions for causing a processor (910) of a computer (900) to provide and process a human interface description; the computer program product (100) causing the computer (900) to execute the following steps:
providing (475) an human interface description (160) to prompt an user for data input; and receiving (480) data (170) from the user, wherein the data (170) comprise a status of at least one layout element (122, 123, 124-1, 124-2, 125, 126, 127) of the human interface description (160).
11.The computer program product (100) of claim 10, causing the computer (900) to execute the providing step (475) through the further steps:
providing (450) a layout template (140-1) and a data description (140-2);
instantiating (460) a data instance (150) from the data description (140-2); and merging (470) the data instance (150) with the layout template (140-1) into an human interface description (160).
12. The computer program product (100) of claim 10, causing the computer (900) to execute the further step storing (485) the data (170).
13. A data carrier (970) readable by a computer (900);
the data carrier (970) storing a plurality of instructions for causing a processor (910) of the computer (900) to create and process a human interface description; the plurality of instructions causing the computer (900) to execute the method (400) steps of claims 1, 2 and 3.
