The present invention has an object of providing a user interface execution apparatus and a user interface designing apparatus which can estimate the maximum size of a storage area for storing data to be prefetched when a user interface is designed and can present updated data to the user even when the prefetched data is updated after the prefetch. A user interface execution apparatus in the present invention includes a processor to execute a program; and a memory to store the program which, when executed by the processor, performs processes of: transitioning a state of the user interface execution apparatus; issuing a prefetch request for data; storing the data; generating the code from an interface definition and a state transition definition; and selecting, before transitioning the state, data to be prefetched based on a difference between a data obtaining interface to be used in a state before the transitioning and a data obtaining interface to be used in a state after the transitioning.

This relates to a technology capable of efficiently deciding a screen layer to which a user input event should be delivered even when screen layers that do not receive the user input event are displayed in an overlapping manner other than a screen layer that should receive the user input event. A user interface device includes an acquisition unit, a transmission unit, a determination unit, and a decision unit. On the basis of inquiry information from the transmission unit, the determination unit concurrently determines, for a plurality of screen layers, whether input information is accepted in each of the screen layers.

User interface device and method for displaying user interface

An information display controller is capable of switching a plurality of screens and allowing a display to display the plurality of screens thereon, and includes a screen constructor, a texture atlas storage unit and a texture atlas creator. The texture atlas creator creates a texture atlas, in which elemental images as constituents of the plurality of screens are arranged, in accordance with an algorithm that takes sizes of the elemental images as references. The texture atlas storage unit stores the texture atlas created by the texture atlas creator. The screen constructor constructs the plurality of screens by using the elemental images extracted from the texture atlas stored in the texture atlas storage unit. In an event of creating the texture atlas, the texture atlas creator preferentially incorporates, into the texture atlas, an elemental image for composing the screen including more elemental images already arranged in the texture atlas.
