Abstract:
1. A system for simplified implementation of adaptable user interfaces in a computing device using one or more processors, the system comprising: at least one content module that contains content, wherein the content is unformatted with respect to visual characteristics; at least one navigation module; a framework supporting the simplified implementation, the framework being visually modified by formatting attributes of cascading style sheets and content including a plurality of framework containers each defining at least one of a plurality of formatting attributes at a data-level; a formatting specification that includes a standardized set of flexible styles, attributes of which are set for defining a plurality of visual characteristics of the at least one content module and, the at least one navigation module with the visual characteristics instantiating and displaying at least a portion of the framework after at least one content module is inserted into the framework, wherein if one of said plurality of containers does not contain a module or another container after creating an instance of the at least one navigation module that associates the same data type between the data-level and the application-level, the container shrinks thereby effectively disappearing from the instantiated framework when the user interface is displayed.
