User Interface for a Model-Driven User Interview

摘要

A framework is presented that can be used to create and execute software applications that include a user interview. The framework includes run-time engines and a data repository. The run-time engines include an interview driver. The data repository includes interview instructions and model information. The interview driver generates or modifies an instantiated data model by using the interview instructions and model information to obtain information from a user. The interview instructions include flow control information, prompts, and user interface (UI) information. There are four types of UI views: Add View, Edit View, Summary View, and Detail View. The UI can have a theme.
