Appl. No.:

09/812394

Inventors:

Kenneth H. Crain - Irving TX, US
William K. Vanover - Crowley TX, US

Assignee:

Schlucktronix LLC - Los Altos CA

International Classification:

G06F 13/00
G06F 15/00

US Classification:

715760, 715762, 715851

Abstract:

A method and apparatus of the invention allows an operator to identify a specific article of online-content to be reconstructed and displayed, and specify a duration of time to be used when graphically representing what areas of the visual stimuli were actually visible to the user. The invention is a method for retrieving multiple instances of an article of online content from a database of previously recorded content. In yet another invention is a method for reconstructing visual stimuli as originally displayed to a user as one form of composition. Still another invention is a method for reconstructing a field of visual stimuli that could be observed by a user as one form of composition.

US Classification:

715853, 715854, 715738

Abstract:

The invention provides methods and devices that address problems encountered when attempting to accurately reconstruct visual stimuli being displayed to a user as they interact with online-content, typically through a browser interface. In one embodiment, the invention provides for the browser to maintain a record of selected technical parameters and relevant data that may impact the manner in which online-content is being displayed to the user, taking into consideration the current context in which the browser is being operated. In another embodiment, the invention is a device for recording events as reported from a browser interface. The events are recorded in a selected format and syntax to form a primary index of events and related outcomes which comprise the user's interface experience.

In operation, the devices detects events as detected at the browser interface. Next, the devices identifies, categorizes, and filters detected events as to their relevance to the visual stimuli being presented to the user.

Inventors:

Kenneth H. Crain - Irving TX, US
William K. Vanover - Crowley TX, US

Assignee:

Schlucktronix LLC - Las Vegas NV

International Classification:

G06F 15/00
G06F 13/00

US Classification:

715760, 715763

Abstract:

In one embodiment, the invention allows an operator to identify a specific article of online-content to be reconstructed and displayed, and specify a duration of time to be used when graphically representing what areas of the visual stimuli were actually visible to the user. First, the operator selects an article of online-content based on its original network address, or from a substitute name from a database that contains a record of all online-content visited by the original user. Next, the operator enters a specific duration of time to reconstruct, preferably by using slider-bar, a timeline equal to duration, preferably the maximum duration, that the online content was visible to the original user. Next, the user selects from various compositions that can be used to represent the visual stimuli as it was originally displayed to the user. Finally, the original visual stimuli displayed to the user is recreated based on the article of online content and period of time specified, using the selected form of composition.

Abstract:

The invention provides methods and devices that address problems encountered when attempting to accurately reconstruct visual stimuli being displayed to a user as they interact with online-content, typically through a browser interface. In one embodiment, the invention provides for the browser to maintain a record of selected technical parameters and relevant data that may impact the manner in which online-content is being displayed to the user, taking into consideration the current context in which the browser is being operated. In another embodiment, the invention is a device for recording events as reported from a browser interface. The events are recorded in a selected format and syntax to form a primary index of events and related outcomes which comprise the user's interface experience. In operation, the devices detect events as detected at the browser interface. Next, the devices identify, categorize, and filter detected events as to their relevance to the visual stimuli being presented to the user. The devices then assign a unique identifier, preferably in the form of an alphanumeric string, to each relevant event. Furthermore, the devices record selected events into a log (along with their categorization), a unique identifier, and the time in which the event occurred. Yet another embodiment are devices that record changes in parameters that may impact the visual stimuli.
