Abstract
Systems and methods of associating text with a graphical user interface (GUI) object are disclosed. Disclosed systems and methods include identifying a GUI object and a text string. A positional relationship between the GUI object and the text string is determined. Based on the positional relationship between the GUI object and the text string, a map with an indication associating the GUI object with the text string is updated.

A computer-implemented method of associating text with a graphical user interface (GUI) object, the method comprising:
- identifying, by one or more processors, a GUI object;
- identifying, by the one or more processors, a text string;
- determining, by the one or more processors, a positional relationship between the GUI object and the text string;
- based on the positional relationship between the GUI object and the text string, updating, by the one or more processors, a map with an indication associating the GUI object with the text string;
- and
- upon determining, by the one or more processors, that the text string and the GUI object are adjacent, building, by the one or more processors, a virtual envelope containing the text string and the GUI object, wherein the virtual envelope is sized such that at least one edge of the virtual envelope reaches an edge of the GUI object.
A system for associating text with a graphical user interface (GUI) object, the system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a computer-readable medium having encoded thereon computer-executable instructions configured to cause the one or more processors to:
- identify a GUI object;
- identify a text string;
- determine a positional relationship between the GUI object and the text string;
- based on the positional relationship between the GUI object and the text string, update a map with an indication associating the GUI object with the text string;
- and
- determine, by the one or more processors, that the text string and the GUI object are adjacent, and build, by the one or more processors, a virtual envelope containing the text string and the GUI object, wherein the virtual envelope is sized such that at least one edge of the virtual envelope reaches an edge of the GUI object.
A computer-readable storage device storing computer-executable instructions, wherein the instructions, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform a method of associating text with a graphical user interface (GUI) object, the method comprising:
- identifying a GUI object;
- identifying a text string;
- determining a positional relationship between the GUI object and the text string;
- based on the positional relationship between the GUI object and the text string, updating a map with an indication associating the GUI object with the text string;
- and
- upon determining that the text string and the GUI object are adjacent, building, by the one or more processors, a virtual envelope containing the text string and the GUI object, wherein the virtual envelope is sized such that at least one edge of the virtual envelope reaches an edge of the GUI object.
