Abstract:

As emerging technologies like big data and artificial intelligence continue to evolve and find applications, a trend towards algorithm-driven automation and intelligent graphical user interface (GUI) design is rapidly transforming traditional manual methods. The need for automated GUI generation arises from the diversity of human-computer interaction devices, increasing functional complexity, and the demand for personalization. This approach not only addresses these challenges but also establishes a new paradigm in intelligent, collaborative human-computer interface design. To further expand developers’ and researchers’ understanding and application of cutting-edge technology methods and application cases in automatic GUI generation, this paper delved into the intersection of human-computer interaction and artificial intelligence, shedding light on the latest advancements in automated GUI generation and intelligent evaluation methods. The current technological approaches, algorithmic models, design methods, and evaluation frameworks for automatic GUI generation were analyzed. Advancements in GUI auto-generation technology based on artificial intelligence generated content (AIGC) were specifically highlighted, along with the new challenges posed to existing user interface design paradigms. Furthermore, the development trends and opportunities in the field of automatic GUI generation were summarized.

Key words: human-computer interaction, intelligent user interface design, automatic graphical user interface generation, interface design standards, interface evaluation methods
