Abstract

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.

Claims (32)

1. A system for presenting user interface content across computing platforms and computing devices comprising:

a hardware processor for selecting standardized content based on its universal usage across distinct computing platforms and distinct computing devices and creating a unified framework using said standardized content;

a memory connected to said hardware processor;

a content repository for storing said standardized content; and

a user interface comprising said standardized content wherein said standardized content in said content repository is linked to said unified framework and wherein said user interface resides on user access devices, at least two of said user access devices having distinct operating systems and wherein said user interface is configured such that said standardized content is bound to one or more underlying data sources.

2. The system for presenting user interface content across computing platforms and computing devices of claim 1 wherein said content repository comprises atomic content attributes and aggregate content attributes.

3. The system of presenting user interface content across computing platforms and computing devices of claim 1 further comprising a dynamic content payload incorporated into said user interface.

4. The system of presenting user interface content across computing platforms and computing devices of claim 3 wherein said dynamic content payload is transmitted to said user access devices in one or more transmission formats.

5. The system of presenting user interface content across computing platforms and computing devices of claim 1 wherein said user interface utilizes containers to organize said standardized content.

6. The system of presenting user interface content across computing platforms and computing devices of claim 1 wherein said standardized content in said content repository is linked to said unified framework by identifying said standardized content using tags.

7. The system of presenting user interface content across computing platforms and computing devices of claim 6 wherein said tags are incorporated into said user interface and access said standardized content stored in said content repository based on a cross-referenced tag identification.

8. A method for presenting user interface content across computing platforms and computing devices comprising the steps of:

selecting standardized content based on its universal usage across computing platforms and computing devices;

creating a unified framework using said standardized content, said standardized content stored in a content repository;

rendering said unified framework into one or more user interface formats; and

binding said standardized content to one or more underlying data sources.

9. The method for presenting user interface content across computing platforms and computing devices of claim 8 wherein said unified framework comprises one or more action binding references to respond to user interaction.

10. The method for presenting user interface content across computing platforms and computing devices of claim 8 further comprising the step of evaluating standardized content based on its universal usage across computing platforms and computing devices.

11. The method for presenting user interface content across computing platforms and computing devices of claim 8 further comprising the step of developing said content repository comprising both atomic content attributes and aggregate content attributes.

12. The method for presenting user interface content across computing platforms and computing devices of claim 8 further comprising the step of transmitting said unified framework to user devices.

13. The method for presenting user interface content across computing platforms and computing devices of claim 8 further comprising the step of organizing said standardized content into one or more containers.

14. The method for presenting user interface content across computing platforms and computing devices of claim 13 wherein said one or more containers contain atomic content attributes and aggregate content attributes.

15. The method for presenting user interface content across computing platforms and computing devices of claim 8 wherein said step of creating said unified framework using said standardized content comprises cross-referencing said standardized content with tags incorporated into said unified framework.

16. A non-transitory computer readable medium with computer executable instructions stored thereon executed by a processor to perform a method for presenting user interface content across computing platforms and computing devices comprising the steps of:

evaluating standardized content based on its universal usage across computing platforms and computing devices;

selecting standardized content based on its universal usage across computing platforms and computing devices;

creating a unified framework using selected standardized content; and

rendering unified framework into one or more user interface formats.

17. The non-transitory computer readable medium with computer executable instructions stored thereon executed by a processor to perform the method for presenting user interface content across computing platforms and computing devices of claim 16 further comprising binding said standardized content to one or more underlying data sources.

18. The non-transitory computer readable medium with computer executable instructions stored thereon executed by a processor to perform the method for presenting user interface content across computing platforms and computing devices of claim 16 further comprising the step of modifying said standardized content.

19. The non-transitory computer readable medium with computer executable instructions stored thereon executed by a processor to perform the method for presenting user interface content across computing platforms and computing devices of claim 16 further comprising the step of pushing a dynamic content payload to user access devices.

20. The non-transitory computer readable medium with computer executable instructions stored thereon executed by a processor to perform the method for presenting user interface content across computing platforms and computing devices of claim 19 wherein said dynamic content payload is rendered into said one or more user interface formats and incorporated into said unified framework.
