1. A computer readable medium containing a plurality of instructions which when executed causes one or more processors to process an image frame, said computer readable medium comprising:
- code for receiving an image frame that forms part of a user interface, said image frame containing a plurality of display portions, each of said display portions having a corresponding set of interface characteristics;
code for receiving a set of validation rules indicating interface characteristics to be checked against said plurality of display portions; and
code for checking whether each of said plurality of interface characteristics of said plurality of display portions complies with said set of validation rules.

Abstract
Verifying the compliance of user interfaces with desired guidelines. In an embodiment, the desired guidelines are specified as a set of validation rules that are to be checked against image frames having multiple display portions. Each validation rule is specified as being applicable to specific interface characteristics. Thus, each validation rule is checked against display portions having matching interface characteristics.

6. A computer readable medium carrying one or more sequences of instructions causing a system to verify compliance of user interfaces with desired guidelines, wherein execution of said one or more sequences of instructions by one or more processors contained in said system causes said system to perform the actions of:
-
receiving an image frame, said image frame containing a plurality of display portions, each of said display portions having a corresponding set of interface characteristics; receiving a set of validation rules indicating interface characteristics to be checked against said plurality of display portions, said set of validation rules reflecting said desired guidelines; and checking whether each of said plurality of interface characteristics complies with said set of validation rules. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11)

12. A method of verifying compliance of user interfaces with desired guidelines, said method comprising:
-
receiving an image frame to be displayed on a display unit as a part of a user interface, said image frame containing a plurality of display portions and each display portion having corresponding interface characteristics, with said interface characteristics of each display portion being controlled by a corresponding one of a plurality of elements, each of said plurality of elements having an associated set of properties; receiving a set of validation rules that are to be checked against said user interface, said set of validation rules reflecting said desired guidelines, wherein each of said set of validation rules is specified as being applicable to elements having a corresponding set of properties; and checking whether each of said plurality of elements complies with each of said set of validation rules if the element has said corresponding set of properties. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
