Methods and devices for reconstructing visual stimuli observed through browser-based interfaces over time
First Claim
1. A method of reconstructing visual stimuli observable through a browser-based interface, comprising:
- receiving user defined parameters for content visual stimuli for to be reconstructed;
receiving data called by the user defined parameters related to the visual stimuli;
displaying a portion of the visual stimuli based on the data;
reconstructing the displayed portion of the visual stimuli as a function of the user defined parameters, wherein the reconstructed displayed portion represents the visual stimuli displayed during a time period specified by a user; and
displaying the reconstructed visual stimuli based on the received data, and masking an area of the content during reconstruction that was not displayed during the specified time period.

Abstract
A method and apparatus of the invention allows an operator to identify a specific article of online-content to be reconstructed and displayed, and specify a duration of time to be used when graphically representing what areas of the visual stimuli were actually visible to the user. The invention is a method for retrieving multiple instances of an article of online content from a database of previously recorded content. In yet another invention is a method for reconstructing visual stimuli as originally displayed to a user as one form of composition. Still another invention is a method for reconstructing a field of visual stimuli that could be observed by a user as one form of composition.
