Linked screen demonstration program for computer application programs
First Claim
1. A computer operable method for creating a demonstration program for an application program, wherein the demonstration program is executable on a first computer, the method comprising the steps of:
- initiating the application program on a second computer;
on a monitor connected to the second computer, displaying at least two images of a graphical user interface created by the application program, wherein one of the images is selectable from the other image for display on the monitor;
capturing at least two images of the graphical user interface displayed;
creating an image map for the image of the graphical user interface from which the other image of the graphical user interface is selectable, wherein the image map specifies the linkage between the images of the graphical user interface; and
linking captured images of the graphical user interface and the image map to form the demonstration program, wherein the demonstration program mirrors the functional selectivity of one image of the graphical user interface by another in the application program.

Abstract
A computer operable method for creating a demonstration program. In representative embodiments, wherein the demonstration program is executable on a first computer, a computer operable method is disclosed which comprises initiating an application program on a second computer. On a monitor connected to the second computer, at least two images of a graphical user interface created by the application program are displayed, wherein one of the images is selectable from the other image for display on the monitor. At least two images of the graphical user interface displayed are captured. An image map for the image of the graphical user interface from which the other image of the graphical user interface is selectable is created, wherein the image map specifies the linkage between the images of the graphical user interface. The captured images of the graphical user interface and the image map are linked to form the demonstration program, wherein the demonstration program mirrors the functional selectivity of one image of the graphical user interface by another in the application program.

10. A program storage medium readable by a computer, embodying a software program of instructions executable by the computer for creating a demonstration program for an application program, wherein the demonstration program is executable on a first computer, the program comprising:
-
logic, for initiating the application program on a second computer;
logic, for on a monitor connected to the second computer, displaying at least two images of a graphical user interface created by the application program, wherein one of the images is selectable from the other image for display on the monitor;
logic, for capturing at least two images of the graphical user interface displayed;
logic, for creating an image map for the image of the graphical user interface from which the other image of the graphical user interface is selectable, wherein the image map specifies the linkage between the images of the graphical user interface; and
logic, for linking the images of the graphical user interface and the image map to form the demonstration program, wherein the demonstration program mirrors the functional selectivity of one image of the graphical user interface by another in the application program. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
