Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a design that uses a separate file to store attribute information for tabs. This design makes it easier to modify attributes and reduces programming errors caused by interdependencies of tab code. Additionally, the design creates an extended window to display contents related to a selected tab, which saves system resources.

Problems solved by technology

Thus, a change to the contents of the main interface will affect directly the presentation of tab contents and a change to a presentation area of tab contents will also affect the layout of the main interface, making the implementation of the tab code cumbersome.
Also, the current implementation typically results in poor extendibility.
This would require both more time and effort by the programmer and would make the software more error-prone.
Additionally, considerable system resources have to be devoted to tracking the tab contents.

Abstract

Presenting information in an instant messaging (IM) application includes loading a tab configuration file comprising attribute information pertaining to a plurality of tabs in a main interface in the IM application, the attribute information comprising presented content information associated with the plurality of tabs; receiving a selection of one of a plurality of tabs in the main interface; retrieving attribute information that corresponds to the selected one of the plurality of tabs based at least on the tab configuration file information; and dynamically creating an extended window for the tab; and displaying the presented content information of the selected tab in the extended window.
