Estimating the term…
When executed by one or more processors in a computer system, an application program may provide, to an electronic device, image information that specifies a user interface for display on the electronic device, and may receive, from the electronic device, information that specifies user-interface activity of the user. Furthermore, when executed by the one or more processors, the modification program may identify a state of the application program. Then, the modification program may selectively modify the image information based on the identified state to change the user interface without changing source code for the application program or a compiled executable of the application program, and may provide the modified image information to the electronic device for display. Subsequently, based on information that specifies a user-interface activity of the user that is associated with the modified user interface, the modification program may selectively perform an operation.
A computer system, comprising:
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for use in conjunction with a computer system, the computer-readable storage medium storing a modification program that, when executed by the computer system, causes the computer system to, in run time, selectively modify image information specifying a user interface associated with an application program, wherein the image information is buffered in a video frame buffer, by performing at least the process of:
A method for selectively modifying image information specifying a user interface associated with an application program, wherein the image information is buffered in a video frame buffer, the method comprising:
