FlexiPanel Designer
User Interface design tool for FlexiPanel User Interface Servers
Summary
FlexiPanel is a generic technology for allowing one
device (the FlexiPanel Server) to create a user
interface on another device (the FlexiPanel Client).
It provides a wireless universal remote control and
monitoring facility for computer software and
electronic products, eliminating the need for user
interface components.
The FlexiPanel Designer is software to aid in the
design of FlexiPanel user interfaces. The user
interface may be specified and tested from within
the design tool and then exported to a specific
FlexiPanel Server. The controls that can be
displayed are:
Blob Matrix
Button Message
Date-Time Number
Files Password
Image Section
Latch Text
