System and method for property-based focus navigation in a user interface

TLDR
In this paper, an improved system and method for focus navigation behavior specification in a user interface is provided, where a focus navigation engine is provided for applying a number of focus navigation behaviors for moving input focus within and among logical groups of user interface objects.
Abstract
An improved system and method for focus navigation behavior specification in a user interface is provided. To this end, an application may include declarations that may associate a focus navigation resource with a user interface object and a focus navigation behavior may be dynamically selected for changing the input focus in the user interface. A focus navigation engine may be provided for applying a number of focus navigation behaviors for moving input focus within and among logical groups of user interface objects. A visual representation of the user interface objects with the applied focus navigation behavior may be generated and a display representation may be rendered for presentation on a user interface display.
