Abstract: A user interface generation apparatus is provided with a user interface generation unit for generating a user interface, a display unit for displaying the user interface generated by the user interface generation unit, and a memory unit for storing a definition file including object definition information which defines an object, which is a component of the user interface. If being instructed to generate a plurality of user interfaces, the user interface generation unit makes a selection from object definition information included in the definition file stored in the memory unit and executes processing to generate a compound user interface based on the object definition information selected.

Abstract: A user interface generation apparatus is provided, the apparatus being capable of switching over between a compound user interface and a stand-alone user interface by simple operations. When an input unit receives a second input while a control unit controls to display a compound user interface object group, the control unit controls to display a stand-alone user interface object group of a user interface displayed correspondingly to a reception position of the second input in the compound user interface object group.

Abstract: A user interface enabling a user to operate without viewing a screen is generated. An input apparatus 10 according to the present invention includes a touch sensor 103 configured to detect an input position of a touch input, a load detection unit 105 configured to detect a pressure load applied on a touch face of the touch sensor 103, and a control unit 104 configured to, when the load detection unit 105 detects a pressure load satisfying a predetermined standard load, control to generate a virtual user interface having a home position key arranged at the input position.

Abstract: A tactile sensation providing apparatus and a method for the same are provided, by utilizing an existing application configuring a user interface, for providing a tactile sensation in response to an input so as to improve an operation feeling. The tactile sensation providing apparatus 1 includes a touch sensor 40, a tactile sensation providing unit 50 which vibrates a touch face, a display unit 30, a memory unit 70 which stores a definition file of a user interface including information about a tactile sensation to be provided corresponding to an object included in the user interface, and a control unit 10 which sets the user interface defined in the definition file by analyzing the definition file and, when an input to the object for executing a predetermined operation detected, controls the tactile sensation providing unit 50 to provide the tactile sensation corresponding to the object to a pressing object.

Abstract: A user interface generation apparatus is provided, the apparatus being capable of switching over between a compound user interface and a stand-alone user interface by simple operations. When an input unit receives a second input while a control unit controls to display a compound user interface object group, the control unit controls to display a stand-alone user interface object group of a user interface displayed correspondingly to a reception position of the second input in the compound user interface object group.

Abstract: A user interface generation apparatus is provided, the apparatus being capable of changing a composition of a compound UI by a simple operation even after compound of user interfaces of a plurality of application programs. The user interface generation apparatus includes a control unit, if an input unit receives a second input while the control unit controls to display a compound user interface object group, for performing re-compound processing of the compound user interface object group according to a position where the input unit starts receiving the second input and a position where the input unit ends receiving the second input and controlling to display a re-compound user interface object group.

Abstract: A user interface generation apparatus 1 has an application program execution unit 11, a user interface generation unit 13, a user interface display unit 24, and a memory unit 50 for storing information on characteristics of an apparatus itself as well as object definition information defining objects composing a user interface. The user interface generation unit 13 generates a compound user interface by selecting object definition information stored in the memory unit 50, setting a margin for when the selected object is arranged based on the object definition information and the information on characteristics of the apparatus itself, and arranging the object in a predetermined area of the display unit based on the margin.

Abstract: A user interface generation device includes: a generation unit which generates a user interface for instructing an execution unit to execute a function based on an application program; and a storage unit which stores a definition file defining a user interface object and information indicating a display ability of a display unit. The generation unit selects or discards the object definition information and judges whether all the objects can be displayed. If No, the generation unit rewrites the information relating to the object size according to the information in the display unit so that all the objects can be displayed. After this, the generation unit generates a synthesis user interface according to the information.

Abstract: A mobile phone includes a generation unit for generating a user interface for instructing an execution unit to execute a predetermined function based on an application program, a memory unit for storing a definition file including information defining an object of the user interface, and a selection screen generation unit for generating a screen to receive selection of the object. The selection screen generation unit generates the selection screen based on object definition information of a plurality of user interfaces instructed. The generation unit generates a definition file including definition information of selected objects and also generates a compound user interface based on the definition file.

If being instructed to generate a plurality of user interfaces, the user interface generation unit makes a selection from object definition information included in the definition file stored in the memory unit and executes processing to generate a compound user interface based on the object definition information selected.

Abstract: When it is discriminated by an input-means determining unit 8 that an input to display unit is a first input by a pen, a function of an application 3 allocated in advance to an area on a screen of the application 3 specified by an input coordinate of first input means determined by an input-position determining unit 11 is executed on the basis of the first input. When it is discriminated that the input to the display unit is a second input by a finger, the execution of the function of the application 3 allocated in advance on the screen of the application 3 is prohibited and a predetermined function not allocated to the area on the screen of the application 3 is executed on the basis of the second input.

Abstract: An image display apparatus (100) comprises a calculation unit 164A) for calculating respective luminance value of pixels of an image data and a total luminance value which is a sum of luminance values of the pixels; a conversion unit (164B) for converting a pixel having the second lowest luminance value excluding a pixel having the lowest luminance value among pixels composing the image data into a pixel having the lowest luminance value, until the total luminance value calculated by the calculation unit becomes a predetermined luminance value; and a display unit (140) which displays image data including a pixel converted by the conversion unit and has a plurality of arranged pixels composed of self-emitting devices.
