  Just in time localization - Patent 6490547
Text strings for all of the user interfaces of a particular user application may be translated in this fashion as a group at the time an unsupported human language is first requested, or text strings may simply be translated on-the-fly during operation of the underlying user application on an as-needed basis.
User application 118 includes a number of functional modules 202 with user interfaces including text strings in dialog boxes, pull-down menus, and the like, and a language manager module 204 for selecting a human language in which the text strings are to be displayed.
If all text strings have been translated, however, the process proceeds instead to step 314, which depicts loading the translated text strings for display in the user interfaces of the user application, and then passes to step 316, which illustrates the process becoming idle until another language change is requested by the user.

 User interface - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Batch interfaces are non-interactive user interfaces, where the user specifies all the details of the batch job in advance to batch processing, and receives the output when all the processing is done.
Gesture interfaces are graphical user interfaces which accept input in a form of hand gestures, or mouse gestures sketched with a computer mouse or a stylus.
Text user interfaces are user interfaces which output text, but accept other form of input in addition to or in place of typed command strings.

 Text user interface - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
TUI short for: Text User Interface or Textual User Interface (and sometimes Terminal User Interface), is a retronym that was coined sometime after the invention of graphical user interfaces, to distinguish them from text based user interfaces.
The ability to talk to various text terminal types using the same interfaces led to more widespread use of "visual" Unix programs, which occupied the entire terminal screen instead of using a simple line interface.
This can be seen in text editors such as vi, mail clients such as pine or mutt, system management tools such as SMIT or SAM, and web browsers such as lynx or w3m.

 User Interface Text
User interface text in your application is text that appears on screen in both primary windows and secondary windows, such as dialog boxes, property sheets, wizards, message boxes, or controls.
If the user supplies a name for an object, always display the name as the user specifies it, regardless of case, wherever the name appears, including in the title bar for a window.
When you refer to a user interface element or command, use "unavailable" or use "make unavailable" rather than "disabled" or "disable." The word "disable" is acceptable in technical documentation in the context of a programmer setting the guidelines for making a command unavailable.

 Clarifying Search: A User-Interface Framework for Text Searches
The basic automobile user interface is something we now take for granted, but it took many strange meanders over several decades to reach this level of standardization (Oliver and Berkebile, 1968; Buxton, 1989); and remaining inconsistencies like left/right variations from country to country still cause serious problems for travelers.
The phases are: formulation (what happens before the user starts a search); action (starting the search); review of results (what the user sees resulting from the search); and refinement (what happens after review of results and before the user goes back to formulation with the same information need).
When users are confident they know where the truly relevant material is, they often prefer to limit the scope of their searches to a specific library (say, NASA, Princeton, or the DIALOG system), a specific collection in a library, or a specific range of documents in a collection.

 Term::TUI - simple tool for building text-based user interfaces   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Many times, I've wanted to quickly write a nice text-based user interface around a set of perl routines only to end up writing the full (though simple) parser and interface to make it nice enough, and friendly enough, to be usable.
This module creates a simple but powerful text based user interface around perl routines, adding such features as command line history, command line editing, and online help (command completion will also be implemented), while hiding all details of the interface from the programmer.
The interface allows you to describe multiple ``modes'' organized in a simple tree-like hierarchy (or modes, submodes, subsubmodes, etc.), each of which has it's own set of commands specific to that mode.

 Text Mode User Interfaces   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Because a minimal amount of RAM was needed to store the text as opposed to the larger amount needed to store graphics, and because manipulating the text characters was faster, this was a very optimal way to display video information at the time.
The problem with this kind of interface is that there are often thousands of commands, each with different options or parameters that must be specified as part of the command.
Text based applications can share many of the same visual elements as GUIs, such as buttons, pull down menus, mouse pointers, text boxes, list boxes, overlapping windows, and more.

Text -processing applications, however, use an I-beam pointer that is shaped like a capital I.
The first graphical user interface was designed by Xerox Corporation's Palo Alto Research Center in the 1970s, but it was not until the 1980s and the emergence of the Apple Macintosh that graphical user interfaces became popular.
In addition to their visual components, graphical user interfaces also make it easier to move data from one application to another.

The design intent of the user interface became apparent when the Apple II drew to its display, because the content region actually scrolled to fit more text whilst the header and footer regions remained static and preserved regardless of the results of an operation.
BeagleWrite’s user interface permitted the use of the keyboard to control the program entirely (no mouse required), but at the cost of not being as intuitive as it could be for both the mouse or the keyboard user.
MouseDesk’s user interface was rather awkward to use, because of flaws in the user interface implementation.

 Graphical User Interface (Linux Reviews)
A graphical user interface (or GUI, often pronounced "gooey"), is a particular case of user interface for interacting with a computer which employs graphical images and widgets in addition to text to represent the information and actions available to the user.
Many research groups in North America and Europe are currently working on the Zooming User Interface, or ZUI, which is a logical advancement on the GUI, blending some 3D movement with 2D or "2½D" vectorial objects.
In science fiction, 3D user interfaces are often immersive environments like William Gibson's cyberspace or Neal Stephenson's metaverse.

 Xterminal's Philosophy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Combine the power of UNIX with the easy-to-use property of some user interfaces and so the user will have both a powerful and a real operating system and a easy to use user interface.
The user interface is implemented as a library, and the programmer must not have any idea about it's internal implementation, but only about the results.
Xterminal is very useful for building text based applications which need high implementation level, flexibility, easiness in use and a interactive user interface.

It is pretty much assumed whenever anyone sits down to use a personal computer that it will operate with a graphical user interface.
During the war he had worked as a radar operator, so he was able to envision a display system built around cathode ray tubes where the user could build models of information graphically and jump around dynamically to whatever interested them.
Even the idea of having users enter commands on a text-based terminal in real-time (called "time-sharing" in the jargon of the day) was considered radical back then.
