  • Patent number: 11561678
    Abstract: An image of a user interface of a device is captured. A graphical object is identified in the image of the user interface. For example, a menu item or a text object is identified in the image of the user interface. An Artificial Intelligence (AI) process is used to determine a confidence score for the graphical object; the confidence score identifies a confidence of how likely a type of the graphical object can be identified. In response to the first confidence score not meeting a threshold, a zoomed in image of the graphical object is taken or a zoomed-out image of the graphical object is taken. The zoomed in image or the zoomed-out image is used to increase the confidence score to better identify the type of the graphical object.
