Abstract
A system for converting formatting of display object, including a logic (e.g., a computing device) that can be operable to traverse and record a part of source code or binary data related to a first visible item displayed on a visual output device. The logic can then convert a first data type or data structure that includes the recorded part of source code or binary data to a second data type or data structure that still includes the recorded part of source code or binary data, where the second data type or data structure is related to a second visible item displayable on the visual output device.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- traversing, by a web browser, a part of a document object model (DOM) related to a first plurality of visible items displayed by the web browser on a visual output device via a page view of a webpage;
- recording, into respective JAVASCRIPT objects, the part of the DOM related to the first plurality of visible items;
- merging the respective JAVASCRIPT objects into a collective JAVASCRIPT object;
- converting the collective JAVASCRIPT object to a multimedia object that includes at least the recorded part of the DOM, wherein the multimedia object is compatible with a corresponding multimedia player, and wherein the conversion of the collective JAVASCRIPT object to the multimedia object includes:
- converting the collective JAVASCRIPT object to a JAVASCRIPT OBJECT NOTATION (JSON) string;
- loading the JSON string to the multimedia player via a multimedia player interface object;
- referencing an asset corresponding to the JSON string in response to loading the JSON string to the multimedia player;
- and
- communicating, via the multimedia player interface object, the asset corresponding with the JSON string to a display object;
- generating the multimedia object based, at least in part, on the display object;
- and
- controlling a rendering of a second plurality of visible items, on a display, within the page view according to at least the multimedia object.

A method for generating an image of at least part of a webpage, wherein the image comprises a similar interactivity and a similar appearance as the at least part of the webpage, the method comprising:
- traversing parts of a document object model (DOM) related to the least parts part of the webpage, wherein the at least part of the webpage is a visible item;
- recording, into respective JAVASCRIPT objects, the parts of the DOM related to the at least part of the webpage;
- merging the respective JAVASCRIPT objects into a collective JAVASCRIPT object;
- converting the collective JAVASCRIPT object, which includes the recorded parts of the DOM, to a multimedia object that includes animation data and the recorded parts of the DOM, wherein converting the collective JAVASCRIPT object to the multimedia object includes:
- converting the collective JAVASCRIPT object to a JAVASCRIPT OBJECT NOTATION (JSON) string;
- loading the JSON string to a multimedia player of a web browser via a multimedia player interface object;
- referencing an asset corresponding to the JSON string in response to loading the JSON string to the multimedia player;
- communicating, via the multimedia player interface object, the asset corresponding with the JSON string to a display object;
- generating the multimedia object based, at least in part, on the display object;
- and
- controlling a rendering of the image, on a display, within the webpage according to at least the multimedia object.
8 more elements
A dynamic screen shot system comprising:
- a memory configured to store a document object model (DOM) included on a webpage;
- an electronic processor configured to communicate with the memory, and further configured to:
- traverse a part of the DOM related to a first plurality of visible items displayed by a web browser on a visual output device via a page view of the webpage;
- record, into respective JAVASCRIPT objects, the part of the DOM related to the first plurality of visible items;
- merge the respective JAVASCRIPT objects into a collective JAVASCRIPT object;
- convert the collective JAVASCRIPT object to a multimedia object that includes animation data and multimedia data, the recorded part of the DOM, and is compatible with a corresponding multimedia player, wherein the electronic processor is configured to convert the collective JAVASCRIPT object to the multimedia object by:
- converting the collective JAVASCRIPT object to a JAVASCRIPT OBJECT NOTATION (JSON) string;
- loading the JSON string to the multimedia player via a multimedia player interface object;
- referencing an asset corresponding to the JSON string in response to loading the JSON string to the multimedia player;
- direct the multimedia player interface object to communicate the asset associated with the JSON string to a display object;
- generating the multimedia object based, at least in part, on the display object;
- and
- control a rendering of a second plurality of visible items, on a display, within the page view according to at least the multimedia object.
