Abstract

Computer apparatus for generating a graphical user interface on a display screen. The graphical user interface has a first command interface area for inputting and displaying cryptic commands for the definition of a search request, and a form-based second command interface area having fields for displaying parameters of the search request. The computer apparatus further includes an area for coupling the first and the second command interface areas such that the input of cryptic commands with the first command interface area generates a pseudo-simultaneous display of parameters reflecting at least some of the cryptic commands. The coupling means may include means for parsing the cryptic commands, program instructions for extracting structured data from the cryptic commands, means for storing the structured data within JavaScript objects, and program instructions for filling fields of the second command interface area by mapping the structured data.
