OPERATION LOG GENERATION DEVICE AND OPERATION LOG GENERATION METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18276196 titled 'OPERATION LOG GENERATION DEVICE AND OPERATION LOG GENERATION METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system that detects user operation events, records images of the occurrence positions of these events, classifies the images into clusters based on similarity, and generates operation logs using the images corresponding to each cluster.
- Acquisition unit detects user operation events and acquires occurrence positions in captured images.
- Specifying unit selects images of occurrence positions from GUI component candidates extracted from captured images.
- Classifying unit groups recorded images into clusters based on similarity.
- Generation unit creates operation logs using images from each classified cluster.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in user interface design, user behavior analysis, and system optimization.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of efficiently recording and analyzing user operation events in a graphical user interface.
Benefits
The system provides a structured way to track user interactions, improve user experience, and enhance system performance.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications include software development tools, user experience testing platforms, and data analytics services for user behavior.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be systems that track user interactions in web applications or software interfaces.
Tracking user operation events could raise privacy concerns related to data collection, storage, and potential misuse of user behavior information. Companies using this technology would need to ensure compliance with data protection regulations and implement robust security measures to protect user data.
How does this technology compare to traditional user behavior tracking methods?
This technology offers a more detailed and visual approach to tracking user behavior compared to traditional methods such as log files or clickstream data. By recording images of user interactions, the system provides a richer dataset for analysis and optimization.
Original Abstract Submitted
An acquisition unit detects an operation event of a user and acquires an occurrence position of the operation event in a captured image of an operation screen. A specifying unit specifies an image of the occurrence position of the operation event from among images to be candidates for a GUI component extracted from the captured image and records the image and the operation event in association with each other. A classifying unit classifies a set of recorded images into clusters according to the similarity between the images. A generation unit generates an operation log by using an image corresponding to the operation event of each classified cluster.
