  • User interface and method for maximizing the information presented on a screen
    Publication number: 20030098886
    Abstract: A system provides a user interface for maximizing an amount of information presented on a computer generated display. The system includes a user interface management system (UIMS) that works with an operating system that manages the computer resources including a display screen and a user input device for tracking position. The UIMS is responsive to the user input device to effect changes in the computer generated display. The UIMS communicates with an application program using the user interface. The user interface has at least a first layer for displaying a primary dynamic image and a second layer for displaying a secondary dynamic image. The second layer has a plurality of display modes including a first mode corresponding to at least a portion of the second layer assuming an invisible state in the computer generated display. Selection of the display modes is effected by signals received from the user input device. Both the first and second layers are updated regardless of the mode of the second layer.
