A UI development assistance device (10) comprising a UI editing unit (11), an operation input unit (12), and a display unit (14). The UI editing unit (11) executes a UI editing process and generates a UI editing screen (140). The display unit (14) displays the UI editing screen (140). The operation input unit (12) receives operations pertaining to UI editing. When a plurality of overlapping (UI) objects are present on the UI editing screen (140), the UI editing unit (11) displays a list of the plurality of overlapping (UI) objects on the (UI) editing screen (140) in accordance with a prescribed operation by means of the operation input unit (12).

The programmable communication system supports communication between both user devices message broker server(s) using a processor-based programmable modular block device implementing an execution engine and programmed to communicate with other processors through a message broker server using a predefined communication protocol. The block device includes a device port for coupling to sensor(s) and actuator(s), and a communication port to communicate with other processors using said predefined communication protocol. An editor program discovers and acquires information about the block device and about other devices in communication with the block device directly or via a message broker. The editor generates and downloads to the block device a rules-based program based on the acquired information. The block device uses the execution engine to execute the program and thereby obtain information through the ports and provide information and control signals.

A dynamic interface layout method includes that a width of a screen of an electronic device is divided into a plurality of columns. The electronic device displays a first interface on the screen. After detecting an interface refresh signal, the electronic device obtains a first column quantity corresponding to a width of a second interface to be displayed after refreshing. The first column quantity is a quantity of columns included in the width of the second interface. The electronic device determines a second column quantity according to a layout rule corresponding to a first element on the second interface. The second column quantity is a quantity of columns included in a width of the first element. The electronic device displays the second interface on the screen.

A method includes receiving a designation of one or more first items that are to be included in a new table from a user, specifying, based on metadata related to second items included in each of a plurality of existing tables, an existing table from among the plurality of existing tables, the existing table including at least one of the designated one or more first items in the second items, specifying, based on other metadata related to an input item and an output item accompanied with execution of each of a plurality of programs, a program from among the plurality of programs, the program causing the designated one or more first items to be output as the output item when one of the second items included in the specified existing table is input as the input item, and outputting the specified existing table and the specified program.

This disclosure relates to an improved software development platform that enables the dynamic generation and deployment of advanced electronic forms. The platform includes graphical user interfaces that enable users to drag-and-drop or otherwise insert components into a development window to define the content, functionality, workflow, background processes, and other criteria for the electronic forms. The components may correspond to pre-defined or pre-packaged software bundles that can be integrated into the electronic forms to define input fields, design layouts, application functions, preconfigured templates, and background processes. After electronic forms are completed, options can be selected to deploy the forms in a cloud-based environment or in other ways.
