Abstract

In order to adjust an amount of information to be simultaneously displayed on a display with identity of information to be displayed on a user interface (UI) screen guaranteed and to design a UI screen suitable for an assumed user, a UI creation support system (1) is provided which supports creating a UI screen for a predetermined service in which a plurality of user interface (UI) components are arranged, the UI creation support system (1) including a UI configuration determining unit (10) configured to determine a configuration of the UI screen, which includes all the plurality of UI components, for an assumed user using the UI screen according to the assumed user by adjusting the number of the UI components to be simultaneously displayed on a display.

Claims

1. A UI creation support system that supports creating a UI screen for a predetermined service in which a plurality of user interface (UI) components are arranged, the UI creation support system comprising:

UI configuration determining unit that determines a configuration of the UI screen, which includes all the plurality of the UI components, for an assumed user using the UI screen according to the assumed user by adjusting the number of the UI components to be simultaneously displayed on a display.

2. The UI creation support system according to claim 1, wherein the UI configuration determining unit determines a configuration in which a display density of the UI components in the UI screen is smaller than the display density of a first UI screen as a configuration of a second UI screen which is simultaneously displayed a smaller number of the UI components on the display than the first UI screen which is capable of being simultaneously displayed all the plurality of the UI components on the display.

3. The UI creation support system according to claim 2, wherein the UI configuration determining unit determines a configuration with a scroll display function as the configuration of the second UI screen.

4. The UI creation support system according to claim 1, wherein the UI configuration determining unit determines a configuration with a display function which divides the UI screen into a plurality of pages and sequentially displays the plurality of pages on the display as the configuration of the second UI screen which is simultaneously displayed a smaller number of the UI components on the display than the first UI screen which is capable of being simultaneously displayed all the plurality of the UI components on the display.

5. The UI creation support system according to claim 1, wherein the UI configuration determining unit

decreases the number of the UI components to be simultaneously displayed on the display when a level of proficiency of the assumed user at the predetermined service is low, and

increases the number of the UI components to be simultaneously displayed on the display when the level of proficiency of the assumed user at the predetermined service is high.

6. A UI creation support method of supporting creation of a UI screen for a predetermined service in which a plurality of the UI components are arranged, the UI creation support method comprising:

a UI configuration determining step of determining a configuration of the UI screen, which includes all the plurality of the UI components, for an assumed user using the UI screen according to the assumed user by adjusting the number of the UI components to be simultaneously displayed on a display.

7. An non-transitory storage medium storing a program for supporting creation of a UI screen for a predetermined service in which a plurality of the UI components are arranged,

the program causing a computer to serve as a UI configuration determining unit that determines a configuration of the UI screen, which includes all the plurality of the UI components, for an assumed user using the UI screen according to the assumed user by adjusting the number of the UI components to be simultaneously displayed on a display.
