[0010] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. (Operational Principle of the UI Generation Device According to the Present Embodiment)

[0011] The operating principle of a UI generating device 100 according to this embodiment (hereinafter simply referred to as "this device") will be described with reference to Figures 1 and 2. Figure 1 is a diagram showing the connection relationship between this device 100 and other devices, and Figure 2 is a functional block diagram of this device 100.

[0012] As shown in Fig. 1, the device 100 is connected to a user terminal 310 operated by one user 230 and to a user terminal 320 operated by another user 250 via a communication network 300. The one user 230 is an employee of the business that manages the device 100. The other user 250 is an ordinary consumer. The communication network 300 may be either wired or wireless.

[0013] As shown in FIG. 2, the device 100 includes an evaluation result storage means 110, a first user evaluation acquisition means 120, a second user evaluation acquisition means 130, and a UI (User Interface) generation means 140.

[0014] Evaluation result storage means 110 stores evaluation results 240, 260 by users 230, 250 of user interface 220 of software application 210. Evaluation result 240 is information relating to an evaluation of user interface 220 by one user 230 in test environment 280. Evaluation result 260 is information relating to an evaluation of user interface 220 by another user 250 in production environment 290. Evaluation results 240, 260 may be information for judging the usability of user interface 220 as a whole, or may be information for judging the usability of each component of user interface 220.

[0015] The first user evaluation acquisition means 120 acquires an evaluation result 240 by one user 230 in a test environment 280 for the user interface 220 of the software application 210. The test environment 280 is a temporary environment for verifying the operation of the software application 210 and the user interface 220, and is an environment for checking whether the software application 210 and the user interface 220 work according to the specifications and whether any defects have occurred by testing under the same conditions as the production environment.

[0016] The second user evaluation acquisition means 130 acquires evaluation results 260 by other users 250 in a production environment 290 for a user interface 220 generated by a UI generation means 140, which will be described later. The production environment 290 is an environment in which consumers (other users) 250 actually use the software application 210 and the user interface 220.

[0017] The UI generation means 140 causes the generation AI 270 to generate the user interface 220 based on the evaluation result 240 by one user 230. The user interface 220 generated by the UI generation means 140 may be provided in a test environment 280 and evaluated by one user 230, or may be provided in a production environment 290 and evaluated by other users 250.

[0018] Furthermore, the UI generation means 140 causes the generation AI 270 to generate the user interface 220 based on the evaluation result 240 by one user 230 and the evaluation result 260 by another user 250. Again, the user interface 220 generated by the UI generation means 140 may be provided in a test environment 280 and subjected to evaluation by one user 230, or may be provided in a production environment 290 and subjected to evaluation by another user 250.

[0019] Based on the above-described operating principle, the device 100 can reflect the evaluation results 240 and 260 by the users 230 and 250 and obtain a UI 220 that is well received by the user 250. (Hardware Configuration of UI Generation Device According to the Present Embodiment)

[0020] An example of the hardware configuration of the present device 100 will be described using Fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the hardware configuration of the present device 100. As shown in Fig. 3, the present device 100 has a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 510, a ROM (Read-Only Memory) 520, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 530, an auxiliary storage device 540, a communication I / F 550, an input device 560, a display device 570, and a storage medium I / F 580.

[0021] CPU 510 is a device that executes programs stored in ROM 520, performs arithmetic processing on data loaded into RAM 530 in accordance with program instructions, and controls the entire device 100. ROM 520 stores programs and data to be executed by CPU 510. When CPU 510 executes a program stored in ROM 520, the programs and data to be executed are loaded into RAM 530, and RAM 530 temporarily holds the arithmetic data during the calculation.

[0022] The auxiliary storage device 540 is a device that stores the OS (Operating System), which is basic software, the application program according to the present embodiment, and other related data. The auxiliary storage device 540 is, for example, a HDD (Hard Disk Drive) or flash memory, and includes the evaluation result storage means 110.

[0023] The communication I / F 550 is an interface for connecting to a communication network 300 such as a wired or wireless LAN (Local Area Network) or the Internet, and for transmitting and receiving data to and from other devices 310 and 320 that provide communication functions.

[0024] The input device 560 is a device such as a keyboard for inputting data to the device 100. The display device (output device) 570 is a device formed of an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) or the like, and functions as a user interface when the user uses the functions of the device 100 or when making various settings. The storage medium I / F 580 is an interface for sending and receiving data to and from a storage medium 590 such as a CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, or USB memory.

[0025] Each of the means included in device 100 may be realized by CPU 510 executing a program corresponding to each of the means stored in ROM 520 or auxiliary storage device 540. Each of the means included in device 100 may also be realized by hardware that performs the processing associated with the means. Alternatively, device 100 may be caused to execute the program by loading the program according to the present invention from an external server device via communication I / F 550 or from storage medium 590 via storage medium I / F 580. (Processing Example by the UI Generation Device According to the Present Embodiment) An example of processing by the device 100 will be described with reference to Fig. 4. Fig. 4 is a flowchart showing the flow of an example of processing by the device 100.

[0026] In S10, the first user evaluation acquisition means 120 acquires an evaluation result 240 by one user 230 in the test environment 280 for the user interface 220 of the software application 210.

[0027] In S20, the UI generation means 140 causes the generation AI 270 to generate the user interface 220 based on the evaluation result 240 by one user 230. The user interface 220 generated by the UI generation means 140 may be provided in a test environment 280 and evaluated by one user 230, or may be provided in a production environment 290 and evaluated by other users 250.

[0028] In S30, the second user evaluation acquisition means 130 acquires evaluation results 260 from other users 250 in the production environment 290 for the user interface 220 generated in S20.

[0029] In S40, UI generation means 140 causes generation AI 270 to generate user interface 220 based on evaluation result 240 by one user 230 acquired in S10 and evaluation result 260 by other users 250 acquired in S30. Again, user interface 220 generated by UI generation means 140 may be provided in test environment 280 and evaluated by one user 230, or may be provided in production environment 290 and evaluated by other users 250.

[0030] By performing the above-described processing, the device 100 can reflect the evaluation results 240 and 260 by the users 230 and 250 and acquire a UI 220 that is well received by the user 250.

[0031] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, the present invention is not limited to such specific embodiments, and various modifications and variations are possible within the scope of the gist of the present invention as defined in the claims.
