Abstract
A system and computer implemented method is provided for monitoring dynamic application data. A request to monitor a sub-region within a display page of a user interface of a second application may be accepted in a first application. The first application may iteratively capture data during the operation of the second application. The first application may determine that an instance of the captured data matches data representing the requested sub-region or page and in response, may extract content associated with the requested sub-region from the captured data. The first or second application may display the extracted content, for example, for monitoring the requested sub-region of the second application.
Claims21
A computer implemented method for monitoring dynamic application data, the method comprising:
- in a first application:
- accepting a request to monitor a sub-region within a display page of a user interface of a second application;
- using at least one processor to iteratively capture data from the second application during the operation thereof;
- in response to determining that the captured data matches data representing the requested sub-region or page, extracting content associated with the requested sub-region from the captured data;
- and
- displaying the extracted content.
A computer implemented method for monitoring dynamic application data, the method comprising:
- using at least one processor to run an application having a user interface with multiple display pages;
- receiving a request to monitor a sub-region within one of the display pages;
- iteratively capturing data from the application user interface;
- in response to determining that the captured data matches data that represents the requested one of the display pages, extracting content associated with the requested sub-region from the captured data;
- and
- displaying the extracted content.
A computer implemented method for generating conditions for monitoring dynamic data in an application, the method comprising:
- accepting data identifying a sub-region within a display page of the application, wherein the sub-region includes the dynamic data;
- accepting one or more criteria to iteratively trigger data to be captured from a user interface of the application;
- using at least one processor to generate data representing the sub-region for comparing to the captured data,
- generating a trigger to extract content from the captured data associated with the requested sub-region when the data representing the sub-region matches the captured data;
- and
- storing the trigger to extract content from the captured data.
A system for monitoring dynamic application data, the system comprising:
- a processor to operate a first application to:
- accept a request to monitor a sub-region within a display page of a user interface of a second application;
- iteratively capture data from the second application during the operation thereof;
- in response to determining that the captured data matches data representing the
- requested sub-region or page, extract content associated with the requested sub-region from the captured data;
- and
- a display to display the extracted content.
