Method, a system and a machine-readable data carrier for classifying input fields and groups of input fields of a webpage

A multicomponent system for classifying input fields and groups of input fields of a webpage, the multicomponent system comprising:

• a processor device;
• a communication interface;
• and
• a memory, operably connected to the processor device via the communication interface, comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor device, cause the processor device to:
• identify, via execution of content analysis instructions by the processor device, content of a webpage comprising input fields and groups of input fields, the identified content comprising a hierarchy of HTML-encoded documents, the identification causing the processor device to:
• execute, for each HTML-encoded document, a separate content analysis;
• generate, for each HTML-encoded document, a document identifier of the HTML-encoded document in each execution of the content analysis;
• search for an in-line frame inside each execution of the content analysis;
• generate a frame identifier for each found in-line frame;
• determine invisible elements in each HTML-encoded document of the webpage;
• determine visible elements in each HTML-encoded document, as well as visible elements within any child HTML-encoded documents;
• group the visible elements, determined in each HTML-encoded document, to create a report file, the report file comprising a structure associated with one or more visible elements or invisible elements;
• and
• send the created report file from the content analysis;
• determine, via execution of background instructions by the processor device and from the created report files, a single tree of elements for each HTML-encoded document of the webpage;
• determine, via execution of recognition instructions by the processor device, clickable elements, the clickable elements comprising one or more of large texts on the webpage, form submission buttons, a label for each input field, a presence of element on the webpage that is a label for the input field, whether elements of the input field and buttons are elements of a single group, or classes for each input field;
• send, based on the execution of recognition instructions, the clickable elements to the execution of the background instructions;
• and
• send, from the execution of the background instructions to the execution of the content analysis instructions, the clickable elements,
• wherein the processor device is connected, via the communication interface, to the memory.

At least one non-transitory machine-readable carrier comprising a set of machine-readable instructions, that, when executed by a processor device, cause the processor device to perform steps comprising:

• identifying, via execution of content analysis instructions by a processor, content of a webpage comprising input fields and groups of input fields, the identified content comprising a hierarchy of HTML-encoded documents, the identifying comprising:
• executing, for each HTML-encoded document, a separate content analysis;
• generating, for each HTML-encoded document, a document identifier of the HTML-encoded document in each execution of the content analysis;
• searching for an in-line frame inside each execution of the content analysis;
• generating a frame identifier for each found in-line frame;
• determining invisible elements in each HTML-encoded document of the webpage;
• determining visible elements in each HTML-encoded document, as well as visible elements within any child HTML-encoded documents;
• grouping the visible elements, determined in each HTML-encoded document, to create a report file, the report file comprising a structure associated with one or more visible elements or invisible elements;
• sending the created report file from the content analysis;
• determining, via execution of background instructions by the processor and from the created report files, a single tree of elements for each HTML-encoded document of the webpage;
• determining, via execution of recognition instructions by the processor, clickable elements, the clickable elements comprising one or more of large texts on the webpage, form submission buttons, a label for each input field, a presence of element on the webpage that is a label for the input field, whether elements of the input field and buttons are elements of a single group, or classes for each input field;
• sending, based on the execution of recognition instructions, the clickable elements to the execution of the background instructions;
• and
• sending, from the execution of the background instructions to the execution of the content analysis instructions, the clickable elements.
