MAPPING USER ACTIONS TO HISTORICAL PATHS TO DETERMINE A PREDICTED ENDPOINT
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- receiving a first signature log generated by a first processing system, the first signature log being a computer readable data structure and comprising a first listing of at least a recorded series of user inputs received by a computer program;
comparing, by a path search engine executing using a processor, the first listing of the recorded series of user inputs to at least one historical log indicating at least one historical path, each historical path comprising at least second listing of a series of historical user inputs that corresponds to a historical endpoint in the computer program;
responsive to comparing the first listing of the recorded series of user inputs to the at least one historical log, identifying the at least one historical path to which the recorded series of user inputs at least partially corresponds and identifying the at least one historical endpoint as a predicted endpoint in the computer program; and
selecting, based on the predicted endpoint, a predicted path corresponding to the predicted endpoint in the computer program, and outputting the predicted path.

Abstract
A first signature log generated by a first processing system is received. A first listing of the recorded series of user inputs included in the signature log is compared to at least one historical log indicating at least one historical path, each historical path including at least second listing of a series of historical user inputs that corresponds to a historical endpoint in the computer program. Responsive to comparing the first listing of the recorded series of user inputs to the at least one historical log, the historical path to which the recorded series of user inputs at least partially corresponds is identified and the at least one historical endpoint is identified as a predicted endpoint in the computer program. Based on the predicted endpoint, a predicted path corresponding to the predicted endpoint in the computer program is selected and output.
