IMAGE BASED METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR BUILDING OBJECT MODEL AND APPLICATION STATES COMPARISON AND GRAPHIC-BASED INTEROPERABILITY WITH AN APPLICATION

摘要

A system and method for enabling graphic-based interoperability between computer executed applications. A computer system operating as a client may display a graphical user interface (GUI) including control graphic items such as buttons, text boxes, etc. A process may examine the graphical image of the GUI to determine if there has been a change over time in the GUI as displayed which updates a control graphic item. If there has been a change over time in the GUI which updates a control graphic item, an action may be taken, for example updating properties of an object construct corresponding to the control graphic item, raising an event corresponding to an object construct corresponding to the control graphic item, or communicating an event to a process.
