System and method to standardize and improve implementation efficiency of user interface content
A system and method to improve implementation efficiency of user interface content by using standard content attributes used across all platforms and devices to implement a lowest common denominator programming system. Standardized content attributes are used to produce a universal content framework that is implemented identically across various devices and platforms, resulting in a consistent and standardized user experience. The invention allows programming functionality to be universally applied and usable with any device and platform so that significant computer programming and updating inefficiencies are eliminated.
