Abstract

A method of dynamically generating a user presentation includes selecting and retrieving at least one of a plurality of rules stored in one or more databases in response to a request from an application program, executing the rule to retrieve data from the one or more databases, and generating presentation data based on the data. The presentation data may be for use in the user presentation of the application program.

Claims

1. A method for dynamically generating a user interface for an application program, comprising:

receiving a request to control at least one of a camera and a camera enabled device to obtain camera data therefrom;

selecting and retrieving, in response to the request, at least one rule from a plurality of rules stored in one or more databases, wherein the rule determines, at least in part, whether to fulfill the request based on one or more aspects of the identity of the user and further includes at least one variable parameter representing information pertaining to a function of the user interface;

determining a value of the variable parameter;

executing the dynamic rule to select and retrieve data from the one or more databases based on the value; and

generating the user interface based on the data and from the camera data.
