Abstract

The present invention is concerned with rapidly changing requirements for graphical user interfaces. The range of mobile devices and the rate of change in content of information accessible therefrom are increasing. One of the drawbacks of having such a range of devices is that there is a corresponding range of configurations and capabilities, and, in general, each device requires a different Graphical User Interface (GUI). For companies developing products for such a range of devices, the infrastructure and API requirements can be highly disparate and the development time can be significant. To alleviate these problems, an embodiment of the invention provides a means of specifying the requirements of a GUI in a single specification, which includes generic descriptions of GUI elements and can be interpreted in respect of any type of device. The embodiment has access to device-specific GUI items, so that, once the device type and a generic GUI element has been identified, the device specific GUI item corresponding thereto is readily identifiable. Preferably the specification is written as an XML file, which means that it can be stored on a centralised server, and is thus accessible by well-known web server access techniques. In one embodiment the specification is processed, and GUI created, from the server computer 301, which then sends the created GUI to an appropriate device for display thereon.
