Integrated visual development system for creating computer-implemented dialog scripts
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for visually representing a plurality of components having different data types in a software development environment, said software development environment being configured to develop software that renders said plurality of components during execution of said software, comprising:
- obtaining a plurality of visual representations, each of said visual representations being associated with a respective one of said plurality of components, said each of said plurality of visual representations being visually indicative of at least one of a content and a format of said respective one of said plurality of components; and
displaying simultaneously said plurality of visual representations in a single panel in said software development environment, said plurality of visual representations being displayed in accordance with a given sequence, said given sequence representing a sequence with which said plurality of components are rendered during said execution.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method for visually representing a plurality of components having different data types in a software development environment. The software development environment is configured to develop software that renders the plurality of components during execution of the software. The computer-implemented method includes obtaining a plurality of visual representations, each of the visual representations being associated with a respective one of the plurality of components. Each of the plurality of visual representations being visually indicative of at least one of a content and a format of the respective one of the plurality of components. The computer-implemented method also includes displaying simultaneously the plurality of visual representations in a single panel in the software development environment, the plurality of visual representations being displayed in accordance with a given sequence. The given sequence represents a sequence with which the plurality of components are rendered during the execution.

29. A software product implementing a software development system, said software development system being configured for creating a computer-implemented script that includes a plurality of dialog segments, said computer-implemented script being configured for use in a computerized interactive transaction system, said software development system comprising:
-
a first panel for displaying, at development time of said script, properties associated with a selected one of said plurality of dialog segments, said properties including at least a dynamic data sample and non-dynamic data, said dynamic data sample representing a sample of dynamic data presented in connection with said selected one of said plurality of dialog segments during execution of said computer-implemented script, said dynamic data sample being visually represented in said first panel by a first visual representation that represents, in a visual manner, an example of said dynamic data presented in connection with said selected one of said plurality of dialog segments during said execution, said nondynamic data being visually represented in said first panel by a second visual representation that reflects at least one of a content and a format of said non-dynamic data, wherein said first visual representation and said second visual representation are simultaneously displayed in said first panel in accordance with a given sequence, said given sequence representing a sequence with which said dynamic data and said non-dynamic data are rendered during said execution. - View Dependent Claims (30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37)
