User interface generation apparatus

Abstract

A mobile phone includes a generation unit for generating a user interface for instructing an execution unit to execute a predetermined function based on an application program, a memory unit for storing a definition file including information defining an object of the user interface, and a selection screen generation unit for generating a screen to receive selection of the object. The selection screen generation unit generates the selection screen based on object definition information of a plurality of user interfaces instructed. The generation unit generates a definition file including definition information of selected objects and also generates a compound user interface based on the definition file.

1 . An electronic device comprising:
 a display configured to display a screen for selecting a user interface object for remotely controlling one or more predetermined apparatuses;   a controller configured to generate a remote control screen customized by using the user interface object selected on the screen for selecting; wherein   the display displays the generated remote control screen.   
     
     
         2 . An electronic device according to  claim 1 , wherein
 at least two of the predetermined apparatuses are of mutually different kinds.   
     
     
         3 . An electronic device according to  claim 2 , wherein
 the apparatuses of different kinds include at least any one of a television, an air conditioner, a lightning, and an audio.   
     
     
         4 . An electronic device according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the display enable to display the user interface object on the screen for selecting for each the predetermined apparatus.   
     
     
         5 . An electronic device according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the controller moves a displayed position of the user interface object if the selected user interface object is displayed.   
     
     
         6 . An electronic device according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the display displays the selected user interface object with displays indicating the predetermined apparatus.   
     
     
         7 . An displaying method including:
 displaying a screen for selecting a user interface object for remotely controlling one or more predetermined apparatuses;   generating a remote control screen customized by using the user interface object selected on the screen for selecting; and   displaying the generated remote control screen.   
     
     
         8 . Non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute a process, comprising:
 displaying a screen for selecting a user interface object for remotely controlling one or more predetermined apparatuses;   generating a remote control screen customized by using the user interface object selected on the screen for selecting; and   displaying the generated remote control screen.
