TRACKING COMPUTER USER NAVIGATIONS TO GENERATE NEW NAVIGATION PATHS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17457471 titled 'TRACKING COMPUTER USER NAVIGATIONS TO GENERATE NEW NAVIGATION PATHS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application is about a machine logic that identifies favorable navigation paths by monitoring the paths used by human users in physical space or computer software. These paths can then be suggested to future users with similar starting and end points.

  • Machine logic identifies favorable navigation paths
  • Paths can be in physical space or computer software
  • Paths are monitored by observing human users
  • Suggested paths are based on similar starting and end points

Potential Applications

This technology can have various applications, including:

  • Navigation systems for physical spaces like malls, airports, or hospitals
  • Route planning for transportation systems like buses or trains
  • User interface design for software applications
  • Website navigation optimization
  • Virtual reality or augmented reality experiences

Problems Solved

This technology addresses the following problems:

  • Difficulty in finding optimal navigation paths in complex physical spaces or software applications
  • Lack of personalized suggestions for navigation based on individual preferences and starting/ending points
  • Inefficient or confusing user interfaces that hinder navigation

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include:

  • Improved user experience by suggesting efficient and personalized navigation paths
  • Time and energy savings for users by avoiding unnecessary detours or confusion
  • Enhanced usability of physical spaces and software applications
  • Increased customer satisfaction and loyalty for businesses offering navigation solutions


Original Abstract Submitted

When human users traverse physical space or traverse computer software, they take “navigational paths.” Some embodiments of the present invention are directed to machine logic for identifying a favorable navigation paths by monitoring physical or computer software navigation paths used by human users as they use a set of computer program(s). This favorable navigation path, through physical space or the logic of the set of computer program(s), can then be suggested to future users who want to navigate from a similar starting point to a similar end point.
