Abstract
Techniques to facilitate a system to capture, process, and archive a series of user interactive events and subsequently retrieve the stored user interactive events are disclosed. The captured information is indexed and stored for future access either on a terminal device or an accessible remote server device.
Claims20
A computing system comprising:
- at least one hardware processor configured to execute one or more software modules stored on a computer readable medium, the software modules including:
- an image acquisition module configured to access a plurality of image files representative of respective screens of content displayed on a computing device;
- and
- a validation module configured to:
- determine source addressing information associated with the computing device;
- generate a validation string for each of at least some of the plurality of image files, each validation string based on data in a corresponding image file of the at least some of the plurality of image files and the source addressing information, wherein the validation string is usable to determine whether the plurality of image files have been modified;
- and
- generate another validation string for the plurality of image files based on data in at least some of the plurality of image files and a sequence of the plurality of image files, wherein the another validation string is usable to determine whether the sequence of the plurality of images files has been modified;
- and
- a storage module configured to:
- generate an archive file configured for playback in order to depict the respective screens of content displayed on the computing device and actions of a user in interfacing with the respective screens of content;
- and
- initiate storage of the archive file with the generated validation strings and the another validation string.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing software instructions in modules, wherein the modules are executable by a computing system having one or more hardware processors, the modules comprising:
- an image acquisition module configured to access a plurality of image files representative of respective screens of content displayed on a computing device;
- an interaction module configured to, in response to detecting one of a plurality of predefined interactions between a user of the computing device and respective screens of content displayed on the computing device, initiate a validation module,
- the validation module configured to generate one or more symbols for respective image files of the plurality of image files based on data in the respective image files of the plurality of image files, and for the plurality of image files based on data in at least some of the plurality of image files and a sequence of at least some of the plurality of image files;
- and
- an output module configured to:
- generate an archive file configured for playback in order to depict the respective screens of content displayed on the computing device and actions of a user in interfacing with the respective screens of content;
- and
- initiate storage of the archive file with the generated one or more symbols, the generated one or more symbols usable to determine whether the plurality of image files have been modified and whether the sequence of the plurality of image files has been modified.

A method comprising:
- accessing, by a computing system having one or more hardware processors, a plurality of image files representative of respective screens of content displayed on a computing device;
- generating, by the computing system, one or more symbols for respective image files of the plurality of image files based on data in the respective image files of the at least some of the plurality of image files, and for the plurality of image files based on data in at least some of the plurality of image files and a sequence of at least some of the plurality of image files;
- generating, by the computing system, an archive file configured for playback in order to depict the respective screens of content displayed on the computing device and actions of a user in interfacing with the respective screens of content;
- and
- initiating storage of the archive file with the generated one or more symbols, the generated one or more symbols usable to determine whether the plurality of image files have been modified and whether the sequence of the plurality of images files has been modified.
