Determining user interaction with user interface elements

An information handling system, comprising:

• a memory;
• a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the processor is configured to perform steps comprising:
• initializing an application session as a service such that a user interface (UI) of the application session is displayed on a display of a device;
• detecting a plurality of UI elements included in the UI;
• receiving indications of user interactions with the plurality of UI elements;
• determining a UI element type of a first UI element of the plurality of UI elements;
• generating a heat map based on the user interactions with the plurality of UI elements and the UI element type of the first UI element, the heat map indicating an importance of each area of a plurality of areas of the display of the device, the importance being with respect to a user that provides the user interactions;
• determining an area of the display having an importance score below a predetermined threshold value based on the heat map;
• modifying the UI such that a UI overlay is displayed in the determined area and overlayed over the application session;
• identifying a second UI element of the plurality of UI elements that is disposed in an area of the display having an importance score below a second predetermined threshold value based on the generated heat map;
• and
• hiding the second UI element that is identified from presentation on the display.

A computer program product, comprising:

• a non-transitory computer readable medium comprising code for performing steps comprising:
• initializing an application session as a service such that a user interface (UI) of the application session is displayed on a display of a device;
• detecting a plurality of UI elements included in the UI;
• receiving indications of user interactions with the plurality of UI elements;
• determining a UI element type of a first UI element of the plurality of UI elements;
• generating a heat map based on the user interactions with the plurality of UI elements and the UI element type of the first UI element, the heat map indicating an importance of each area of a plurality of areas of the display of the device, the importance being with respect to a user that provides the user interactions;
• determining an area of the display having an importance score below a predetermined threshold value based on the heat map;
• modifying the UI such that a UI overlay is displayed in the determined area and overlayed over the application session;
• identifying a second UI element of the plurality of UI elements that is disposed in an area of the display having an importance score below a second predetermined threshold value based on the generated heat map;
• and
• hiding the second UI element that is identified from presentation on the display.
