The disclosed implementations are generally related to media authoring tools and user interfaces.
Website creation tools targeted to the consumer market allow end users to create websites and other types of media (e.g., blogs, podcasts, multimedia presentations, slide shows) with little or no knowledge of web languages. One popular website creation tool is iWeb®, developed by Apple Inc. (Cupertino, Calif.). Users of website creation tools often desire to have a large selection of interesting page elements (e.g., text, images, video, animation) to choose from when creating a website. Some of these elements, however, can be tedious or time consuming to create and/or may require the user to have extensive knowledge of expert features provided by the tool. Some website creation tools require the user to exit the tool or interact with a different user interface of the tool to accomplish certain tasks, such as interacting with third party web services (e.g., map services, advertising services) or searching directories and files for content (e.g., digital photos) to be included in the website.
A media authoring tool includes web widgets for creating page elements for various types of media (e.g., websites, blogs, broadcasts, slide shows, multimedia presentations). A widget inspector associated with the widget can be used to modify the behaviour of the widget.
In some implementations, a method includes: generating a page for presentation in a user interface of a media authoring tool; generating a widget and an associated widget inspector; presenting the page and the widget inspector in the user interface; presenting the widget on the page; obtaining a user input through the widget inspector; and automatically modifying a behavior of the widget based on the user input.
In some implementations, a method includes: generating a page for presentation in a user interface of a media authoring tool; obtaining a user input specifying a content source; generating a widget for displaying content from the content source, the widget including a navigation control; presenting the page and the widget in the user interface; presenting first content through the widget; obtaining navigation control input; and presenting second content through the widget based on the navigation control input.
Other implementations are disclosed that are directed to systems, methods and computer-readable mediums.

In some implementations, the user interface 100 can include a tool bar 106 for allowing the user to select various editing tools for creating and modifying elements on the webpage 102. Some examples of tools include a “text box” tool for creating text boxes, a “shapes” tool for adding shapes and a “web widget” tool for invoking web widgets.
A “web widget” functions like an application in the media authoring tool. Web widgets can be built using various web technologies including, for example, a markup language (e.g., HTML, XHTML), Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), JavaScript®, etc. Web widgets can have their own user interfaces and controls for assisting the user in creating various page elements. A web widget can differentiate whether it is running in a media authoring tool or in a browser (e.g., Safari®).
Upon selection of the HTML snippet from the menu 108 or other selection mechanism, the widget inspector 202 is presented on the web page 102. In some implementations, the web inspector 202 includes an editing window 212 for pasting or typing HTML instructions. The user can type one or more HTML instructions in the editing window 212 and click the “Apply” button to have the instructions interpreted and displayed in the display area 208 of the web widget 204.
Referring to
The HTML web widget 204 allows the user to easily generate HTML snippets and immediately see the results of those snippets in a single user interface of the tool. The user does not have to exit the tool or open a new interface which could disrupt the user's workflow. Nor does the user have to publish the page to see how the snippet will be rendered in a browser.
The ad web widget 308 allows the user to easily interface with an ad service provider, including account access and creation, in a single user interface of the media authoring tool. The user does not have to exit the tool or open a new interface which could disrupt the user's workflow. Nor does the user have to publish the page to see how the ad will be rendered in a browser.
In some implementations, the map can be provided by a map service (e.g., Google™ Maps). The web widget 406 can provide all the supporting code (e.g., HTML, JavaScript®, CSS) for connecting to the map service, sending requests for map data, receiving the map data in response to the requests, and the formatting of map data for presentation in the web widget 406. A communication channel can be established between the web widget 406 and the map service using an operating system (OS) service or a library service provided by the system hosting the media authoring tool. In some implementations, the host system (e.g., a personal computer) can be coupled to the Internet using a wired or wireless communication link. The OS or library service can establish the communication channel using known communication protocols (e.g., TCP/IP, HTML, Secure Socket Layer).
The map web widget 308 allows the user to easily interface with a map service in a single user interface of the media authoring tool. The user does not have to exit the tool or open a new interface which could disrupt the user's workflow. Nor does the user have to publish the page to see how the map will be rendered in a browser.
Responsive to the user selection, a page is generated for presentation in a user interface of the media authoring tool (602). A widget and an associated widget inspector are generated (604). The page is presented in the user interface, together with the widget inspector (606). In some implementations, the web widget is presented on the page (608). In other implementations, the web widget can be presented at another location in the user interface, and the user can then move the web widget onto the page (e.g., drag and drop). The web widget can include a bounding box which includes handles for resizing. The web widget and widget inspector can be clicked and dragged to a desired location on the page. The user provides input into the widget inspector by typing, pasting and/or selecting predefined options (610). The behaviour of the web widget can be automatically modified based on the input (612).
The software stack 700 can include an application layer and operating system layers. In this Mac OS® example, the application layer can include iWeb Core and Web Widget applications. The iWeb Core code includes code for the iWeb® website creation tool and the web widget code includes code for implementing web widgets. The web widget code can include HTML, CSS, JavaScript® and other resources. CSS is a stylesheet language used to describe the presentation of a document written in a markup language (e.g., style web pages written in HTML, XHTML). CSS can be used by authors and readers of web pages to define colors, fonts, layout, and other aspects of document presentation. JavaScript® is a scripting language which can be used to write functions that are embedded in or included from HTML pages and interact with a Document Object Model (DOM) of the page.
In some implementations, the web widget code in the application layer uses WebKit® services. WebKit® is an application framework included with Mac OS X which is the basis of Mac OS X's Safari web browser. The framework allows third party developers to easily include Safari functionality in custom applications. WebKit® includes an Objective-C Application Programming Interface (API) that provides the capability to interact with a web server, retrieve and render web pages, download files, and manage plug-ins. WebKit® also includes content parsers (e.g., HTML, CSS), a JavaScript® bridge (e.g., for synchronizing between Safari® and Java applets), a JavaScript® engine (interpreter) and a DOM. The WebKit® can use services provided by Core Services, which provide basic low level services. The Core Services can request services directly from the Core OS (e.g., Darwin/Unix).
The software stack 700 provides the software development tools to create web widgets and the various features and processes described in reference to
The memory 820 stores information within the system 800. In some implementations, the memory 820 is a computer-readable medium. In other implementations, the memory 820 is a volatile memory unit. In yet other implementations, the memory 820 is a non-volatile memory unit.
The storage device 830 is capable of providing mass storage for the system 800. In some implementations, the storage device 830 is a computer-readable medium. In various different implementations, the storage device 830 may be a floppy disk device, a hard disk device, an optical disk device, or a tape device.
The input/output device 840 provides input/output operations for the system 800. In some implementations, the input/output device 840 includes a keyboard and/or pointing device. In other implementations, the input/output device 840 includes a display unit for displaying graphical user interfaces.
Various implementations of the systems and techniques described here can be realized in digital electronic circuitry, integrated circuitry, specially designed ASICs (application specific integrated circuits), computer hardware, firmware, software, and/or combinations thereof. These various implementations can include implementation in one or more computer programs that are executable and/or interpretable on a programmable system including at least one programmable processor, which may be special or general purpose, coupled to receive data and instructions from, and to transmit data and instructions to, a storage system, at least one input device, and at least one output device.
These computer programs (also known as programs, software, software applications or code) include machine instructions for a programmable processor, and can be implemented in a high-level procedural and/or object-oriented programming language, and/or in assembly/machine language. As used herein, the terms “machine-readable medium” and “computer-readable medium” refer to any computer program product, apparatus and/or device (e.g., magnetic discs, optical disks, memory, Programmable Logic Devices (PLDs)) used to provide machine instructions and/or data to a programmable processor, including a machine-readable medium that receives machine instructions as a machine-readable signal. The term “machine-readable signal” refers to any signal used to provide machine instructions and/or data to a programmable processor.
To provide for interaction with a user, the systems and techniques described here can be implemented on a computer having a display device (e.g., a CRT (cathode ray tube) or LCD (liquid crystal display) monitor) for displaying information to the user and a keyboard and a pointing device (e.g., a mouse or a trackball) by which the user can provide input to the computer. Other kinds of devices can be used to provide for interaction with a user as well; for example, feedback provided to the user can be any form of sensory feedback (e.g., visual feedback, auditory feedback, or tactile feedback); and input from the user can be received in any form, including acoustic, speech, or tactile input.
The systems and techniques described here can be implemented in a computing system that includes a back end component (e.g., as a data server), or that includes a middleware component (e.g., an application server), or that includes a front end component (e.g., a client computer having a graphical user interface or a Web browser through which a user can interact with an implementation of the systems and techniques described here), or any combination of such back end, middleware, or front end components. The components of the system can be interconnected by any form or medium of digital data communication (e.g., a communication network). Examples of communication networks include a local area network (“LAN”), a wide area network (“WAN”), and the Internet.
The computing system can include clients and servers. A client and server are generally remote from each other and typically interact through a communication network. The relationship of client and server arises by virtue of computer programs running on the respective computers and having a client-server relationship to each other.
Although a few implementations have been described in detail above, other modifications are possible. For example, the flow diagrams depicted in the figures do not require the particular order shown, or sequential order, to achieve desirable results. In addition, other steps may be provided, or steps may be eliminated, from the described flow diagrams, and other components may be added to, or removed from, the described systems. Accordingly, various modifications may be made to the disclosed implementations and still be within the scope of the following claims.
