  • Simplified implementation of adaptable user interfaces
    Patent number: 7620903
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention encompass a system for simplified implementation of adaptable/flexible user interfaces. The system may include: one or more frameworks; zero or more navigation modules; zero or more content modules; and a set of standardized flexible formatting specifications. The framework may include containers that zero or more navigation modules and/or content modules may be inserted into. The standardized formatting specifications may be used to specify how framework containers, and components inserted into containers, are to appear.
