  • Patent number: 9189207
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) device for programmatic runtime generation of an application. The UE device receives a UI definition file that includes definitions indicating visual appearance attributes of portions of the application, a set of components that are UI building blocks to be presented within the application, and a set of behaviors that may be performed by the components, where the definitions include attribute-value pairs. The UE device receives a set of component definition files that include code for implementing components that includes the components indicated by the UI definition file and after a beginning of an execution of the application, the UE device parses the UI definition file to identify the visual appearance attributes, the set of components, and the set of behaviors; and dynamically instantiates the set of components based upon the parsed UI definition file and the set of component definition files to create the application.

  • Publication number: 20150264423
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a method in a server end station for efficiently providing customized user interfaces for an application is provided. The method includes transforming augmented style rules into style generation code. The augmented style rules includes both style syntax and a set of one or more expressions including a set of variables. The augmented style rules are not valid according to a style standard of the style syntax, and the style generation code, when executed by invocations using input variables corresponding to the set of variables, generates a set of valid style rules according to the style standard. The style generation code is transmitted to a user equipment device of a user, which when executed, causes a customized user interface to be presented to the user.
