  • Publication number: 20250238109
    Abstract: The techniques disclosed herein provide a personalized interactive timeline of user activity graphical user interface (GUI) that enables a personalized search and retrieval user experience. This is accomplished by gathering a record of user activity such as graphical captures (e.g., screenshots) of a desktop environment. A graphical capture can define a software application that is currently in focus within the desktop environment. The graphical captures are then organized into subsets based on the software application that is in focus in each of the graphical captures. The graphical captures are then further organized into sessions which are delineated by substantially continuous user interaction with the corresponding software application. A graphical segment is then generated for each session and subsequently compiled into an interactive timeline. A user can scrub through the timeline to recall previous activity.
