Processing system for use with a user interface display
First Claim
1. A processing system, for use with a user interface display including image elements for prompting user data entry, comprising:
- a binding database, comprising entries for linking different first and second data item identifiers with corresponding different first and second prompt elements of a user interface display image, said first data item identifier identifying a set of allowable data items for entry by a user via said first prompt element;
a database parser for automatically examining said binding database to detect a change in binding database entries altering said set of allowable data items for entry by said user via said first prompt element; and
a processor for updating said set of allowable data items for entry by said user via said prompt element in response to said detected binding database change.

Abstract
A processing system, for use with a user interface display including image elements for prompting user data entry, includes a binding database. The binding database includes elements for linking different first and second data item identifiers with corresponding different first and second prompt elements of a user interface display image. The first data item identifier identifies a set of allowable data items for entry by a user via the first prompt element. A database parser automatically examines the binding database to detect a change in binding database elements. A processor updates the set of allowable data items in response to any detected binding database change.

8. A method for processing data supporting a user interface display including image elements for prompting user data entry, comprising the activities of:
-
employing a binding database linking a plurality of data item identifiers with a single prompt element of a user interface display image, said plurality of data item identifiers including first and second data item identifiers; and
using said first data item identifier to identify a set of data items comprising items individually selectable for entry by a user via said single prompt element and for using said second data item identifier to identify a destination data item for accommodating data entered via said single prompt element. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)
