Method and system for rendering and interacting with an adaptable computing environment

DWPI Title: Method for generating virtual environment, involves linking hierarchical software machine to another hierarchical software-machine to form hierarchically arranged data structure
Abstract: An adaptable computing environment is implemented with software entities termed “s-machines”, which self-assemble into hierarchical data structures capable of rendering and interacting with the computing environment. A hierarchical data structure includes a first hierarchical s-machine bound to a second hierarchical s-machine. The first hierarchical s-machine is associated with a first layer of a rendering region on a display screen and the second hierarchical s-machine is associated with a second layer of the rendering region overlaying at least a portion of the first layer. A screen element s-machine is linked to the first hierarchical s-machine. The screen element s-machine manages data associated with a screen element rendered to the display screen within the rendering region at the first layer.
Use: Method for generating a virtual environment.
Advantage: The method involves linking a hierarchical software machine to another hierarchical software-machine to form a hierarchically arranged data structure, where a hierarchical software-machine group is provided with one or more rendering software-machines, and thus ensures efficient and convenient method for generating virtual environment.
Novelty: The method involves linking a hierarchical software machine to another hierarchical software-machine to form a hierarchically arranged data structure. A hierarchical software-machine group is provided with one or more rendering software-machines for controlling rendering at a background rendering layer of a rendering region on a display screen.
