Dynamic user interfaces for network services
First Claim
1. A method of establishing an interface between a service and an application, wherein the interface is a computer interface, the service is provided through a network, and the application operates on the computer, the method comprising:
- configuring a computer implemented framework manaaement module that creates a graphical user interface that directly interfaces the service through the network to a user operating the application of the computer; and
using the framework to register the service, generate a unique reauest identification, append the unique reauest identification to a content file, return the content file to the service, and provide service information from the framework to the computer application through the user interface, wherein the framework facilitates the creation and processing of user interfaces that are oresented to the user.

Abstract
In order to assure that services in an network and applications or users in the network are able to communicate and interact with one another a framework is provided that registers the service. The service provides the necessary information, in particular configuration files that are processed by the framework. The framework directly interfaces to a user by way of application or applications used by the users. An interface is established between the application and the framework allowing the user to indirectly communicate to the service by way of the framework. This allows the interface to the service and to the application to be handled by the framework.

9. A system of establishing an interface between a service and an application, wherein the interface is a computer interface, the service is provided through a network, and the application operates on the computer, the system being comprised of:
-
a computer implemented framework configured to create a graphical user interface that directly interfaces the service through the network to a user operating the application of the computer, wherein the framework registers the service, generates a unique request identification; appends the unique request identification to a content file; returns the content file to the service; and provides service information to the application. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A computer system comprising:
-
a processor; a computer running an application; computer readable medium coupled to the processor; and computer code encoded in the computer readable medium, configured to cause the processor to use a framework that creates a graphical user interface that directly interfaces an Internet service to a user operating the application of the comouter and wherein the framework registers the service, generates a unique request identification, appends the unique request identification to a content file, returns the content file to the service, and provides service information from the framework to the computer application through the user interface, wherein the mework facilitates the creation and rocessin of user interfaces that are presented to the user. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
