Abstract:
A computer operated method for providing an adaptive computer screen window display that accommodates user or human factor input comprising the steps of:(1) ascertaining a property of a window to be displayed on a computer screen in a default condition during a first operating session; (2) monitoring property changes prompted by inputs by a user to effect changes from the default condition of the window, thereby automatically saving a history of a user's specific window activity pattern developed during the first operating session; (3) creating a first referent comprising the history of the step (2) user's specific window activity pattern; (4) creating a second referent comprising human factor rules which are pertinent to a property of a window; (5) creating a modified referent by actions comprising at least one of: a) subjecting the first referent to constraints imposed by the second referent developed as a reflection of said step (2) user's specific window activity pattern during the first operating session; b) subjecting the second referent to constraints imposed by the first referent developed as a reflection of said pertinent human factor rules during the first operating session; and c) simultaneously optimizing said first and second referents; and (6) using the modified referent for generating an instant window for display during a second operating session, which instant window has been adaptively modified from the default condition so that its properties correlate to said step (2) user's specific window activity pattern and the pertinent human factor rules.
