Book Description
The popularity of Graphical User Interface has made it indispensable not only in the field of computer but also in other consumer items like TV, mobile phone, camera etc. Although the current-day GUIs are way ahead of the GUIs of a decade ago, various aspects of a GUI still have several limitations and are going through continuous innovations. TRIZ provides various techniques like “Ideality”, “Functionality”, “Trends”, "Contradictions", “Inventive Principles” etc. to solve the prior art problems and improve the capabilities of any product. The concept of ideality is applied to explore the ideal features of a GUI, such as, easy to develop, easy to operate, easy to navigate, better aesthetics, increased speed of operation, lesser errors and so on. Many contradictions are faced on the way to achieve the Ideality, such as, “displaying more visual elements but without expanding screen size”, “scrolling the screen but without sacrificing space for the scrollbars”, “customizing the GUI but without wasting user’s time and effort to customize it” etc. This book cites more than 100 exemplary inventions from US Patent Database and illustrates how the contradictions in the prior art methods have been overcome by applying very simple but innovative concepts. This book is intended to be a good reference for the TRIZ researchers, GUI developers and IT inventors. If you want to buy in bulk, please email to umakant(at)trizsite(dot)tk for discounts.

Book Description
A typical user interface consists of several buttons, menus, windows, trees and other type of controls. The increased number of GUI elements and complexities of the GUI controls necessitate the user to acquire certain level of skill and efficiency in order to operate the GUI. There are many situations which further make the navigation difficult. Ideally the user should face no difficulties in navigating through the user interface. Any operation in the graphical user interface should require minimum pointer operations from the user (Ideal Final Result).This objective of a graphical user interface has led to several inventions trying to make the navigation simple and efficient. The article analyzes some inventions from US Patent database and illustrates how each of them has tried to solve different problems of navigation in a graphical user interface.

Book Description
A graphical user interface has a lot of advantages over its predecessors. Its beauty, simplicity, adaptability, user-friendliness, visual clarity, speed and ease of operation have made it popular and suitable to a broad range of users. But a GUI also has certain limitations. Like any other type of user interface, a GUI can also be operated wrongly which may yield undesirable results. A good GUI should be intelligent to determine user's intention and disallow him doing wrong operations. A less error-prone GUI is certainly more effective and efficient. Ideally the GUI should prevent users from doing any mistake while operating the GUI. A better GUI would intelligently detect and automatically correct all wrong operations done by the user (Ideal Final Result). The article analyzes the features of an ideal GUI, finds out the contradictions in achieving the ideal features and illustrates alternative methods of solving the contradictions. Seven patents are analyzed from US patent database illustrating how each of them tries to reduce operational errors in a GUI.

Book Description
The modern software tools provide numerous graphic elements in their GUI, which demand more and more screen space. As the size of a display screen cannot be extended beyond a limit, it is typically seen as a constraint in a graphical user interface. Looking from a TRIZ perspective, the computer screen should display all the information that the user needs (Ideal Final Result). There are various methods of addressing the problem of screen space, some of which are, quot;using icons for windowsquot;, quot;the desktop metaphorquot;, quot;the large virtual workspace metaphorquot;, quot;multiple virtual workspacesquot;, quot;overlapping windowsquot; and quot;increasing dimensionsquot; etc.There are many inventions on how to maximize the presentation of information on a graphical user interface. This article analyzes nine inventions from US Patent database from a TRIZ perspective illustrating how they solve the contradictions in order to achieve the desired result.

Book Description
The graphical user interface has become popular because of its simplicity and user friendliness. The user can do very complex operations through GUI by simple pointer movements. One of its major drawbacks is that it consumes active display area. Every icon, every window and every other GUI element occupies some amount of screen space. It is desirable to display more GUI features within the limited amount of display screen.Adding another dimension to a graphical user interface can yield tremendous benefits such as improving aesthetics, data presentation, screen-space utilization and user friendliness. The user can easily locate the objects in a three-dimensional environment by using his spatial memory. Many people think that a three-dimensional GUI is the future of the current trend in the evolution of graphical user interface.

Book Description
Toolbar is one among the popular elements of a graphical user interface. The other popular elements of graphical user interface are buttons, menu, scrollbar, dialog box etc., all of which provide easy access to various functions of a GUI system.A toolbar often does a similar function as the menu but with certain differences. A menu has the advantage of holding a large number of items without needing any additional screen space. In contrast, each button on the toolbar permanently occupies some space on the screen. It's not possible to implement large number of functions through a toolbar, as they will occupy more and more valuable screen space. However, the toolbar has an advantage as it gives a single click access to any function unlike a menu system where the user has to navigate through sub-menus to ultimate discover the item he is looking for.This article explores the desired features of a toolbar and the ideal features of an advanced toolbar. The contradictions are described from a TRIZ perspective and solutions are derived using Inventive principles. Besides the article illustrates 10 inventions on improving Toolbars selected from US patent database.

Book Description
This book details the state-of-the-art of research and development in design computing and design cognition. It features more than 35 papers that were presented at the Sixth International Conference on Design Computing and Cognition, DCC’14, held at University College, London, UK. Inside, readers will find the work of expert researchers and practitioners that explores both advances in theory and application as well as demonstrates the depth and breadth of design computing and design cognition. This interdisciplinary coverage, which includes material from international research groups, examines design synthesis, design cognition, design creativity, design processes, design theory, design grammars, design support and design ideation. Overall, the papers provide a bridge between design computing and design cognition. The confluence of these two fields continues to build the foundation for further advances and leads to an increased understanding of design as an activity whose influence continues to spread. As a result, the book will be of particular interest to researchers, developers and users of advanced computation in design and those who need to gain a better understanding of designing that can be obtained through empirical studies.
