Abstract
Methods and systems consistent with the present invention include, in one embodiment, producing display application software for embedded systems, the architecture of which partitions the display application software into two separate components: a) a Bytecode, which is an organized collection of static and dynamic data elements that define the components and attributes of the display application function within the given system utilizing a User Interface Tool; and b) a Display Virtual Engine which manipulates the information provided by the display data objects of the Bytecode. In particular, the Virtual Engine is a software entity that is executed within an embedded system, and which interprets the Bytecode according to a predefined instruction set. The same Virtual Engine is reusable within several embedded systems that have display components.
