                 Appeal 2006-2033                                                                                    
                 Application 10/116,774                                                                              
                 fit different display image sizes is determined from a source of presentation                       
                 control information.  The presentation control information specifies the                            
                 relative location and size of the individual interface display elements                             
                 exclusive of data which identifies fixed position location information of the                       
                 individual interface display elements.                                                              
                        Claim 1 is illustrative of the invention and reads as follows:                               
                    1. An adaptive user interface generator for generating code representing                         
                 an executable procedure for use in providing a user interface display                               
                 including a plurality of displayed user interface display elements,                                 
                 comprising:                                                                                         
                    a source of presentation control information determining a user interface                        
                 presentation format of a display image capable of being adaptively scaled to                        
                 fit different display image sizes, said presentation control information                            
                 specifying relative location of individual interface display elements in a                          
                 display image exclusively of fixed position location information of said                            
                 interface display elements; and                                                                     
                    a transformation processor for transforming said presentation control                            
                 information into executable procedure representative code for use in                                
                 providing a user interface display image with a format suitable for a desired                       
                 display size.
