USER INTERFACE STATE MAPPING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240248826 titled 'USER INTERFACE STATE MAPPING
The abstract describes methods, systems, and devices supporting the mapping of user interface (UI) states for a web document. A UI state mapper program determines interactable elements that can cause a UI state change in the web document. The program interacts with these elements to generate sets of nodes in a graphical representation, including nodes with UI state changes from URL changes and visual effects.
- The UI state mapper program identifies interactable elements in a web document that can trigger UI state changes.
- It generates sets of nodes in a graphical representation based on interactions with these elements.
- Nodes of different types indicate UI state changes resulting from URL changes and visual effects on the UI.
- The program creates a computer-readable record of the interactions to generate the graphical node representation.
Potential Applications: - Web development tools for designers and developers to visualize and manage UI states. - User experience optimization by understanding how different interactions affect the UI. - Automated testing of web applications to ensure consistent UI behavior across different states.
Problems Solved: - Streamlining the process of mapping UI states in web documents. - Providing a visual representation of UI state changes for easier understanding. - Enhancing the efficiency of UI design and development workflows.
Benefits: - Improved user interface design and development processes. - Enhanced user experience through better management of UI states. - Increased efficiency in identifying and addressing UI state issues.
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced UI State Mapping Technology for Web Development" This technology can be utilized by web development agencies, software companies, and e-commerce platforms to streamline UI design processes, improve user experience, and ensure consistent UI behavior across different states. It can also be integrated into web development tools and platforms to enhance UI state management capabilities.
Prior Art: Prior art related to this technology may include research papers, patents, or software tools focusing on UI state mapping, web document visualization, and user interface design automation.
Frequently Updated Research: Researchers in the field of human-computer interaction and web development may be conducting studies on UI state mapping techniques, user experience optimization, and automated UI testing tools. Stay updated on conferences, journals, and research publications in these areas for the latest advancements in UI state mapping technology.
Questions about UI State Mapping Technology: 1. How does UI state mapping technology impact the efficiency of web development workflows? UI state mapping technology streamlines the process of visualizing and managing UI states in web documents, enhancing the efficiency of UI design and development workflows by providing a clear representation of how different interactions affect the UI.
2. What are the potential implications of UI state mapping technology for user experience optimization? UI state mapping technology can significantly impact user experience optimization by enabling designers and developers to understand how various interactions influence the UI. This insight allows for the identification and resolution of UI state issues, leading to an enhanced user experience.
Original Abstract Submitted
methods, systems, and devices supporting mapping user interface (ui) states for a web document are described. a ui state mapper program may determine a set of interactable elements that are configured to cause a ui state change to a ui of the web document, such as from a configuration for the web document. the ui state mapper program may interact with the set of interactable elements of the ui. the ui state mapper program may generate sets of nodes in a graphical node representation in response to the interacting. the sets of nodes may include nodes of a first node type with a ui state change resulting from a universal resource locator (url) change and nodes of a second node type with a ui state change resulting from a visual effect on the ui without a url change. the ui state mapper may generate a computer readable record indicating a sequence of interactions by the ui state mapper program to generate the graphical node representation.
