  • Patent number: 10318126
    Abstract: This disclosure describes a user interface (UI) conceptual model and a data model for quickly and easily developing and managing a GUI. The present methods and systems described herein provide for defining one or more UI elements in the UI conceptual model. The one or more UI elements may further reference one or more model objects in the data model. The one or more model objects may include one or more tasks, which may each be mapped to one or more commands for performing each task, or one or more data items, which may each be mapped to rules or conditions for transforming data. According to embodiments, graphics or functionality of a GUI may be easily and efficiently modified by adding, deleting, or modifying UI elements in the UI conceptual model or by adding, deleting, or modifying referenced model objects in the data model, thereby reducing management and development costs.
