在我們一般生活中，電子產品與大部分使用者最直接的接觸即是使用者圖形介面。使用者圖形介面提供內部系統所支援的功能與設定。對於使用者則是提供一個良好的操作環境與互動關係，以期達到使用者可以以最直覺的方式來使用此系統。然而在於嵌入式系統這個領域，因為嵌入式系統所提供的系統效能有限，所以必須在有限的環境中設計出良好的介面。因為不同的產品用途而使得操作方式上皆會完全不同，使用者圖形介面的設計方式則必須參考使用方式與系統用途而去實做。
在目前市面上已經有許多的使用者圖形介面，但大部分都是建構在X-Windows的基礎之上，使用其大量的函式庫資源。並有一些是直接針對嵌入式系統所設計的使用者圖形介面，而這些嵌入式使用者圖形介面也是以作業系統Linux為基礎向上發展。在本篇論文中，將會實做出建構在MicroC/OS-II這一個Real-Time Kernel之上的使用者圖形介面。由於MicroC/OS-II是一個檔案很小的即時作業系統，所以在開發使用者圖形介面的同時也不可以大量的耗用系統資源，必須有效的控制系統資源使用量。

In our general life, graphic user interface is the most and direct contact with user in electronic product. Graphic user interface offers the functions that configure the system and what the system supports. It provides a good operating environment for general user, in the hope for reach control the system with instinct. But in this field of embedded system, because the embedded system offers is limited, we must design a good user interface in limited environment and provide a well use API for application designer. It will have different operation mode in different product and graphic user interface should be design in various points and make it comfortable for your product.
There are many graphic user interfaces on the market at present, but for the most of that are based on X-Windows or Microsoft Windows and it need a lot of memory usage for their library. But there are some graphic user interfaces are based on Linux and develop for embedded system. It will need many sizes for library, kernel and device driver, but it has no real-time characteristic. In this thesis, we will develop a graphic user interface and based on the real-time kernel MicroC/OS-II. The other characteristic of MicroC/OS-II is that it has small size of kernel.
