Hollis Bruce Johnson, Jr. has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20230400954
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for evaluating interactions with a user interface are disclosed. In one aspect, a method includes identifying a set of mutation events specifying changes to the structure of a user interface that occurred during the user session, and generating user interface states specifying different structures of the user interface throughout the given user session. Based at least in part on the user interface states, playback data that present visual changes of the user interface corresponding to the set of mutation events that occurred during the user session are generated. Session activity data describing user interactions that occurred during the user session are also generated. At least a portion of the playback data and the session activity data are output to a requesting device.

  • Publication number: 20230251878
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for evaluating interactions with a user interface of an application are disclosed. In one aspect, a method includes, for each of a plurality of different user sessions of a native application, accessing frame bundles that each include data representing content presented by a frame of a user interface of the native application at a given time. Each frame bundle includes at least a portion of a view tree of the native application used to generate the user interface at the given time and data specifying content presented by each view of the portion of the view tree. Based on the frame bundles, playback data are generated that present visual changes of the user interface corresponding to changes to the view trees.

  • Patent number: 11593343
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for clustering user interface event data for analysis and retrieval are disclosed. In one aspect, a system includes a data store and computer(s) that interact with the data store and execute instructions that cause the computer(s) to receive, for a user interface event, event data specifying a structure of a user interface presented during the user session. The event is assigned to a respective cluster based on a comparison of the structure of the user interface specified by the event data to a user interface structure that represents the respective cluster. For each cluster, a user interface attribute indicative of a user interface state of user interfaces specified by the event data in the cluster is determined. User interface state groups are generated based on the user interface attribute for each cluster.
