关于GUI中使用的对话框的发明
Inventions on dialog boxes used in GUI
摘要：
对话框在特殊情况下显示警告、错误、确认等信息时非常有用。一个典型的对话框显示在一个小窗口中，其中包含一些文本消息以及一些供用户选择的选项。然而，在编程和实现传统的对话框时存在某些困难，例如，严重的编程工作量、硬编码消息的刚性、模糊屏幕空间等，需要克服对话框的这些困难以使它们更有效和有用。对话框的模态也会产生一些限制。虽然模态对话框需要由用户显式关闭，但非模态对话框的数量可能会增加，并且变得难以控制。因此，一个理想的对话框应该消除所有上述缺点。对话框不应遮挡屏幕。用户应该能够打开多个对话框，但不会模糊屏幕。本文分析了5个有趣的发明对话框从美国专利数据库中选择。每一项发明都试图克服传统对话框的某些限制，并提供一些创新的特征。每个解决方案也从TRIZ的角度进行了分析。
英文摘要：
The dialog boxes are useful in case of displaying warnings, errors, confirmations etc. in special situations. A typical dialog box is displayed in a small window with some text message along with a few options for the user to select. However, there are certain difficulties associated in programming and implementing a conventional dialog box, such as, severe programming effort, rigidity of the hard coded message, obscuring screen space and so on. There is a need to overcome these difficulties of the dialog box to make them more efficient and useful. The modality of the dialog boxes also creates some limitations. While modal dialog boxes needs to be closed explicitly by the user, modeless dialog boxes can grow in number and become difficult to control. Thus, an ideal dialog box should be deprived of all the above-mentioned drawbacks. The dialog box should not obscure the screen. The user should be able open multiple dialog boxes but without obscuring the screen. This article analyses 5 interesting inventions on dialog boxes selected from US Patent database. Each invention tries to overcome some limitations of a conventional dialog box and provides some innovative features. Each solution is also analyzed from a TRIZ perspective.
