Abstract (en)

[origin: DE10203370A1] The invention relates to the control of a window-based, interactive user interface (210) comprising at least two overlapping display and control windows (220, 230). When one display and control window (220) is activated, the other display and control window (230) is automatically reduced in size to such an extent that it is represented in its entirety on the interactive user interface (210), without overlapping the display and control window (220). Preferably, the activation of the display and control window (220) is triggered by an optical cursor (211).
