USER INTERFACE DEVICE FOR CREATING AN ENVIRONMENT OF MOVING PARTS WITH SELECTED FUNCTIONS

An easy-to-use user interface device includes: parts forming means 13 for forming parts providing visual representations of functions of applications; parts storing means 1 for storing the information upon parts; operational environment constructing means 500 for constructing the operational environment by combining the parts together to construct operational environments; operational environment storing means 14 for storing the constructed operational environment; and operational environment using means for executing a task of an application via the operational environment read out from the operational environment storing means 14. The visual, semantic, and movement information upon the parts, representing the screen images, the associated functions, and movements thereof, etc., are stored and adjusted as the user uses the operational environment. The adjustments are effected automatically as far as feasible, thereby reducing the burden upon the user.
