摘要:
The present invention provides a methodology for assisting a user in the combination of objects (e.g. functional blocks) through an intuitive user interface which, according to a preferred embodiment, is construed to simulate the effect of magnets: a high affinity degree between two blocks is represented in a magnetic-like style as a simulated attraction giving a feedback to the user. Such attraction feedback can be represented in several different ways, from a simple visual representation to a proper mechanical feedback conveyed to the user through the input device used for making the block selection (e.g. a mouse, a track point or a joystick).
摘要:
A methodology for assisting a user in a combination of functional blocks by defining a value representative of an affinity degree among the functional blocks. Such affinity degree is influenced by available historic data derived by previous uses of the functional blocks which had been recorded into a repository.
