Methods and devices for recording changes in visual stimuli observed through browser-based interfaces
First Claim
1. A method for recording changes in visual stimuli as a user interacts with the visual stimuli, comprising:
- creating a browser object by a control application;
establishing a conduit between the browser object and a browser interface;
receiving visual stimuli;
creating page objects based on the visual stimuli received by the browser object and the control application;
determining that a change in the visual stimuli is caused by a visual event; and
recording parameters of the visual event to a data storage device.

Abstract
The invention provides methods and devices that address problems encountered when attempting to accurately reconstruct visual stimuli being displayed to a user as they interact with online-content, typically through a browser interface. In one embodiment, the invention provides for the browser to maintain a record of selected technical parameters and relevant data that may impact the manner in which online-content is being displayed to the user, taking into consideration the current context in which the browser is being operated. In another embodiment, the invention is a device for recording events as reported from a browser interface. The events are recorded in a selected format and syntax to form a primary index of events and related outcomes which comprise the user'"'"'s interface experience.

8. A method for recording changes in visual stimuli, comprising:
-
creating a plurality of page objects based on received visual events; the page objects monitoring the visual events by for changes in the visual stimuli, wherein each of the page objects is related to a portion of a web page; and recording a parameter of the visual events that cause the changes in the visual stimuli. - View Dependent Claims (9)

10. A method for recording changes in viewable content, comprising:
-
receiving a plurality of viewable content by a browser interface; appending an applet to each of the viewable content, wherein the appending creates a modified version of each of the viewable content; instantiating the modified version of each of the viewable content in a plurality of web pages; monitoring visual events that may cause changes in each of the viewable content; determining which of the visual events cause the changes in the viewable content; and recording a parameter of the visual events to a data storage device. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
