METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GENERATING A PLURALITY OF GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACES
First Claim
1. A method of operating a computer system in order to generate a plurality of graphical user interfaces, the method comprising:
- storing a common data set comprising a plurality of data objects, each data object indicating a type for the data object;
storing graphical user interface generation information for each of the plurality of graphical user interfaces, the graphical user interface generation information of each graphical user interface defining a type of graphical user interface element that is to be used to represent each data object type on the graphical user interface;
upon receipt of a request for one of the plurality of graphical user interfaces, creating one or more graphical user interface elements for each data object in the common data set, wherein the type of graphical user interface elements created for the data object is determined using the corresponding graphical user interface generation information.
