What is Guilt?

Graphical user interface (Graphical User Interface, referred to as GUI, also referred to as graphical user interface) refers to a computer operation user interface displayed in a graphical manner. ^[1]

In the 1970s, researchers from Xerox Corporation in the United States developed the first graphical user interface. This design enabled the computer to transform the character interface to a graphical interface, and opened a new era. Since then, operating systems such as Microsoft and Apple have appeared one after another, and the interface design has continued to improve. The continuous update of the operating system has also brought graphical user interface design into a new era. So what exactly is a graphical user interface? The graphical user interface is a medium for information exchange that is displayed graphically. The user sends instructions to electronic devices such as computers through graphical objects such as windows, keys, and menus. After receiving the instructions, the user feedbacks the results of the operations through graphics. The development of science and technology has led to the emergence of various types of communications and electronic products. Graphical user interfaces have also been widely used in electronic information products such as smart phones and household appliances with information exchange, storage, and processing functions. ^[2]

With the rapid development of Internet technology and communication technology, various communication electronic consumer products, such as desktop computers, tablet computers, and mobile phones, have become indispensable items in people's daily lives. The graphical user interface (GUI) of electronic consumer products is a bridge for data transfer and manipulation interaction between software and hardware systems of electronic products and users. The consumer electronic product graphical user interface (GUI) can be roughly divided into the following two categories. ^[4]

Graphical user interface system usually refers to the display model, window model and user model supported by the corresponding hardware platform and operating system, and the application program interface composed of the application program interfaces of these three models

Different uses and types of graphical user interfaces have different visual presentation styles. Well-designed graphical user interfaces don't have a fixed formula to apply, but good design also follows certain guidelines. ^[6]

A GUI (Graphical User Interface, graphical user interface) is a front-end representation of the underlying program code, and it will make corresponding front-end responses to user operations such as selecting a drop-down list box, menu, navigation bar, button control, and so on. Because the software with a graphical interface is compared with traditional software, its beautiful graphical user interface brings the most intuitive experience to users, so that users can quickly get started and gradually be favored by users, so the software in the current market Most come with a graphical user interface. ^[7]

1. Graphical User Interface (GUI) copyright protection

The graphical user interface is designed to pursue user-friendliness, simplicity, reasonableness, efficiency, and intelligence. It has certain practicability, but "practicability" does not belong to the traditional protection scope of copyright.

1. The beauty of the graphical user interface

The composition of the graphical user interface can be understood as the process of constructing the graphical user interface. Through precise calculation and design, the graphical interface is divided, and the graphical interface itself and all the graphical interface components in the whole are arranged to obtain a high degree of visual dynamic balance and infinite design. Possibility to create designs that are highly visually clear. Some specific compositions, such as tic-tac-toe composition, circular composition, S-shaped composition, etc., will bring visual beauty to users. The typical golden section contains rich aesthetic value, with strong mathematical beauty. ^[8]

1. Make good use of metaphors

From a cognitive point of view, when people are cognizing, they will seek clues to understand new things from the existing experience background and then generate associations. Therefore, it is necessary to master such cognitive processes when designing and make good use of metaphors to convey the interface. Design essentials and things to express. For example, the trash can is used to refer to the function of recycling documents. ^[9]

2.Direct control

Direct manipulation makes the user feel "operational". In order to meet this principle, when a user operates an object, the user must always be able to see the object on the screen, and the effect of performing actions on the object must be presented in real time. For example, dragging a file, or dragging cut text from one file to another. Provide direct operation function when the user needs, eliminating the need for the user to deal with some trivial things. ^[9]

3.Visible points

In the user interface of the software, the user interacts with the interface by tapping objects seen on the screen through a device such as a mouse. The user clicks on an object and then selects the action to be performed on the object. All the actions that can be performed by the object are displayed in the menu. The user does not need to memorize the motion instructions, just select from the menu. ^[9]

Visual art perfection

Perfection means that the interface should adhere to the visual design principles and properly organize the interface information. This means that the picture elements must have a better screen display effect, and the display technology must have higher quality. Graphic design should be as beautiful and refined as possible, so that the form of the graphics conforms to the human's common perception of beauty. The styling elements of the four major types of logo design: dots, lines, faces, and bodies can form a sense of beauty independent of the structure of various specific things in the application of the laws of form. ^[9]
