Storyboard method of end-user programming with natural language confirmation
| DWPI Title: Method for end-user programming with natural language confirmation, involves generating storyboard within template based on illustrated actions, and invoking command to generate screen element for triggering execution of sequence of actions |
| Abstract: A technique for end-user programming includes populating a template with graphically illustrated actions and then invoking a command to generate a screen element based on the template. The screen element is rendered within a computing environment and provides a mechanism for triggering execution of a sequence of user actions. The sequence of user actions is based at least in part on the graphically illustrated actions populated into the template. |
| Use: Method for end-user programming with natural language confirmation in a computing environment. |
| Advantage: The command is invoked to generate a screen element for triggering execution of the sequence of user actions, thus enables an end-user to program and design screen elements, such as software buttons, sliders, check boxes, textures, or any visual screen element to execute a sequence of user actions. A storyboard is generated within the template based on the graphically illustrated actions, thus enables the end-user to copy graphically illustrated actions from a virtual repository of such graphically illustrated actions into a template. The icons or thumbnails enable a user to quickly scan logbook to visually find a particular past event. The encapsulant effectively creates a local environment in which collections of free binding sites interacts without interference from the outside world. |
| Novelty: The method involves populating a template with graphically illustrated actions. A storyboard is generated within the template based on the graphically illustrated actions. The storyboard pictorially represents a sequence of user actions for interacting with the computing environment. A command is invoked to generate a screen element for triggering execution of the sequence of user actions. The sequence of user actions is based in part on the graphically illustrated actions populated into the template. The screen element is rendered within the computing environment. |
