Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for suggesting changes to related user interface objects. According to the method of the present invention, a similarity list can be established using the calculation method of the similarity between related UI objects. When a UI object is changed, suggestions are generated based on the similarity list. According to the method of the present invention, by automatically suggesting changes to related UI objects, the workload for changing various UI objects can be greatly reduced. Also improves consistency between multiple UI objects.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to UI (User Interface) design, and more particularly to suggesting changes to related UI objects. Background technique [0002] As known to those skilled in the art, each UI object has various properties, and various relationships exist between properties of the UI objects. During UI design, changes to properties of UI objects often occur. And, usually, attributes are manually changed one by one. [0003] like Figure 1A , Figure 1B and Figure 1C As shown, there are three different screens containing several UI objects, and, Figure 1A , Figure 1B and Figure 1C Have some UI objects with the same title (e.g. buttons as follows, "OK" 102 and 105, "Cancel" 103, "Reset to Default" 104, 107 and 109, "Settings 1" 101, "Settings 2" 106 and "Setting 3" 108). More specifically, it can be seen that Figure 1A The button "OK" 102 in the Figure 1B The button "OK" in 105 has the same height, and, Figure 1A The b...
