METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING SERVICES USING CONNECTING USER INTERFACE ELEMENTS
First Claim
1. A method comprising facilitating a processing of and/or processing (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal, the (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal based, at least in part, on the following:
- at least one determination of one or more functions, one or more properties, or a combination thereof associated with one or more services;
a rendering of at least one connecting user interface element to represent the one or more functions, the one or more properties, or a combination thereof; and
a processing of one or more interactions between the at least one connecting user interface element and one or more service user interface elements to determine whether to enable the one or more functions, the one or more properties, or a combination thereof.

Abstract
An approach is provided for providing services using connecting user interface elements. The connector platform determines one or more functions, one or more properties, or a combination thereof associated with one or more services. Next, the connector platform causes, at least in part, a rendering of at least one connecting user interface element to represent the one or more functions, the one or more properties, or a combination thereof. Then, the connector platform processes and/or facilitates a processing of one or more interactions between the at least one connecting user interface element and one or more service user interface elements to determine whether to enable the one or more functions, the one or more properties, or a combination thereof.
