Abstract :
Different manufactures have various user interfaces (UIs) for the similar devices, which bring great inconvenience to the user. A method is presented in this paper to make interfaces that can be customized by users. It employs the approach of separating widgets of UIs from functions and binding functions to device drivers dynamically. The customized interfaces can be applied to all similar devices from various manufactures. A generic user interface customization model and an implementation scheme are proposed based on the method above, as well as a prototype system in the printer field.
