Intelligent screen automation system for user interfaces
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11886799B2) discloses a computer program product designed to determine functional and descriptive elements of application and interface images. The product includes computer-readable program instructions that enable a processor to identify logical relationships between textual and non-textual elements in user interface images. By building a hierarchy based on these elements' coordinate positions, a data structure representing the interface's functionality is formed and outputted to memory. The data structure includes attributes such as element coordinates within the images, facilitating a comprehensive understanding of the interface's structure.
Furthermore, the patented computer program product can identify specific elements within the images, such as table borders, check box elements, rectangular elements, radio button elements, icon elements, and line elements. By applying various criteria and thresholds, the program filters and categorizes these elements to establish logical relationships within the interface. This methodical approach ensures a detailed analysis of the interface components, enabling the creation of a tree structure that accurately represents the hierarchy of textual and non-textual elements. Overall, the patented technology offers a systematic and efficient way to analyze and organize elements within user interface images, enhancing the understanding of interface functionality and design.
