System and user interface supporting use of customizable expressions by applications
First Claim
1. A system for providing a user interface display image supporting user entry of an expression, comprising:
- a user interface menu generator for providing a displayable image including, a first image window listing a plurality of selectable data items available for incorporation in an expression, an image prompt element for permitting user entry of said expression and for incorporating a data item in an entered expression from said listed data items to provide a resultant expression in response to user selection of said data item in said first image window, and an icon for initiating storing of said resultant expression; and
an expression processor for processing said resultant expression to provide a result in response to user command.

Abstract
A user friendly interface system enables a user to incorporate, in an executable application, custom decision logic in the form of an expression involving a high-level script language. A system for providing a user interface display image supporting user entry of an expression involves a user interface menu generator for providing a displayable image. The displayable image includes a first image window listing a plurality of selectable data items available for incorporation in an expression as well as an image prompt element. The image prompt element permits user entry of the expression and incorporation of a data item in an entered expression from the listed data items to provide a resultant expression in response to user selection of the data item in the first image window. The displayable image also includes an icon for initiating storing of the resultant expression. The system also involves an expression processor for processing the resultant expression to provide a result in response to user selection of the icon for initiating processing. Other display windows allow user selection of an expression name and an algebraic operator and indicate allowable data item values.

14. A system for providing a user interface display image supporting user entry of an expression for use in deriving information associated with a patient, comprising:
-
a user interface menu generator for providing a displayable image including, a first image window listing a plurality of selectable data items available for incorporation in an expression, said plurality of selectable data items identifying at least one of, (a) a patient, (b) a patient physical characteristic, (c) patient address information and (d) patient medical record information, an image prompt element permitting user entry of said expression and for incorporating a data item in said expression from said listed data items to provide a resultant expression in response to user selection of said data item in said first image window, and an icon for initiating storing of said resultant expression; and
an expression processor for resolving said resultant expression to provide a result in response to user command.

17. A system for providing a user interface display image supporting user entry of an expression, comprising:
-
a user interface menu generator for providing a displayable image including, a first image window listing a plurality of selectable data items available for incorporation in an expression, an image prompt element permitting user entry of said expression and for incorporating a data item in said entered expression from said listed data items to provide a resultant expression in response to user selection of said data item in said first image window, an icon for initiating verification of said resultant expression to determine said resultant expression is valid, and an icon for initiating storing of a valid resultant expression; and
an expression processor for resolving said valid resultant expression to provide a result in response to user command.

19. A method for providing a user interface display image supporting user entry of an expression, comprising the steps of:
-
initiating display of an image including, a first image window listing a plurality of selectable data items available for incorporation in an expression, an image prompt element permitting user entry of said expression and for incorporating a data item in said entered expression from said listed data items to provide a resultant expression in response to user selection of said data item in said first image window, and an icon for initiating verification of said resultant expression to determine said resultant expression is valid, and an icon for initiating storing of said resultant expression; and
verifying said resultant expression is valid in response to user selection of said icon for initiating verification.
