Abstract

A device may display a user interface that includes multiple information blocks. The multiple information blocks may comprise multiple corresponding first panels, multiple corresponding second panels, and multiple corresponding third panels. The user interface may include the multiple corresponding first panels. The device may detect a user interaction associated with a first panel of the multiple corresponding first panels. The first panel may be associated with an information block of the multiple information blocks. The user interaction may indicate that a second panel of the information block is to be displayed. The second panel may be associated with the information block and may be one of the multiple corresponding second panels. The device may display, based on the user interaction, an updated user interface that includes the second panel of the information block.

provide, for display and based on the other user interaction, another updated information block user interface that includes the first panel, the second panel, and the third panel.

8. A computer-readable medium storing instructions, the instructions comprising:

one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to;

provide, for display, a user interface that includes an information block,

the information block comprising a first panel, a second panel, and a third panel associated with an outer surface of an object,

a fourth panel, a fifth panel, and a sixth panel associated with an inner surface of the object,

the fourth panel being provided on an opposing side of the first panel,

the fifth panel being provided on an opposing side of the second panel, and

the sixth panel being provided on an opposing side of the third panel;

identify a user interaction that includes a user selection of a button associated with the first panel, the second panel, or the third panel; and

provide, for display and based on the user interaction, an updated user interface that includes the fourth panel, the fifth panel, and the sixth panel.

9. The computer-readable medium of claim 8, where the one or more instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the one or more processors to:

receive configuration information associated with the information block,

the configuration information being based on user input; and

where the one or more instructions, that cause the one or more processors to provide, for display, the user interface that includes the information block, cause the one or more processors to;

provide, for display, the user interface that includes the information block based on the configuration information.

10. The computer-readable medium of claim 9, where the configuration information includes location information associated with the information block,

the location information identifying areas of a display screen in which the first panel, the second panel, and the third panel are to be displayed;

and

where the one or more instructions, that cause the one or more processors to provide, for display, the user interface that includes the information block, cause the one or more processors to;

provide, for display, the user interface that includes the information block based on the location information.

11. The computer-readable medium of claim 9, where the user interface includes a first information block and a second information block,

where the configuration information includes size information associated with the first information block and the second information block,

the size information identifying a first size for the first information block and a second size for the second information block,

the first size being different from the second size;

and

where the one or more instructions, that cause the one or more processors to provide, for display, the user interface that includes the information block, cause the one or more processors to;
