First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for archiving an interaction by a user with a terminal device having a display screen and a random access memory, the method comprising:
- activating a local screen capturing module during a period of time indicated by an initiation signal and a termination signal from a remote server;
the screen capturing module automatically capturing a series of screen displays off the display screen to produce one or more files representing a series of predefined user interface events in the period of time, wherein the capturing only activates when there is predefined action to one of the screen displays, each of the one or more files includes interactions by the user with the one of the screen displays, and non-contextual background information thereof, and wherein the interactions and all other information in the one of the screen displays are in image pixels;
generating one or more attributes to be associated with each of the one or more files; and
storing the generated one or more files in a storage area retrievable by the remote server that includes an OCR engine to analyze the files.

13. A system for archiving an interaction by a user with a terminal device having a display means and a random access memory, the system comprising:
-
a terminal device including a memory space and a screen, the memory space including data for displaying on the screen, the terminal device configured, in response to signals from a remote server, to generate a series of images from the data only when a user of the terminal device interacts therewith, wherein each of the images includes predefined interactions by the user with one of screen displays and corresponding non-contextual background information of the screen in pixels; and
a server computer located remotely with respect to the terminal device and communicating with the terminal device over a data network, the server including a storage space and receiving one or more files from the terminal device, the one or more files respectively representing the series of images, wherein the server is configured to archive and recognize the file by an OCR engine in the storage space. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
