Abstract

L’invention concerne un mécanisme d’interface utilisateur permettant à une personne créant un fichier visuel et n’ayant pas de connaissances approfondies d’un programme en rapport avec les fonctions de l’OS de réaliser facilement cette création. Une application noyau fait qu’un bureau affiche une “ application enfant ”. Lorsqu’un mot clé se présente dans le fichier visuel en tant que source de l’“ application enfant ”, une requête est soumise au noyau pour qu’il cherche la fonction correspondant au mot clé et qui accomplira une action. La fonction de base, telle l’appel d’une fonction de l’OS, est contenue dans l’application en noyau commun. La personne ne crée que le fichier de la partie visuelle, ce qui lui permet de réaliser facilement cette création.
