Abstract

A method for capturing a user'"'"'s view of an electronic screen having an error message in a health management application without showing private information of the user includes receiving an error message from a web service responding to a request for a web page by the user. The method includes receiving an electronic file of the web page with the error message, redacting private information of the user from the electronic file to create a redacted electronic file, and storing the redacted electronic file in a support log module.

Claims

1. A method for capturing a user'"'"'s view of an electronic screen having an error message in a health management application without showing private information of the user, the method comprising:

receiving the error message from a web service responding to a request for a web page by the user;

receiving an electronic file of the web page, where content of the electronic file is defined in accordance with a markup language and the markup language has predefined presentation semantics;

identifying fields in the electronic file that are pre-tagged as private information;

redacting values of the identified fields in the electronic file to create a redacted electronic file, where content of the redacted electronic file is defined in accordance with the markup language having predefined presentation semantics; and

storing the error message, along with the redacted electronic file, in a data store.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein redacting values includes identifying areas pre-tagged as private information in the electronic file and redacting the pre-tagged areas.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising converting the redacted electronic file to an image file.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising retrieving the redacted electronic file from the data store by a support person.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the health management application is a diabetes management application.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

retrieving a history session of the user associated with and prior to the error message;

redacting from each electronic file in the history session the private information of the user to create corresponding redacted electronic files of the history session; and

storing the redacted electronic files of the history session in the data store.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the electronic file and the redacted electronic file are in hypertext markup language.

8. A method for capturing a user'"'"'s view of an electronic screen having an error message in a health management application without showing private information of the user, the method comprising:

receiving the error message from a web service responding to a request for a web page by the user;

receiving an electronic file of the web page with the error message;

identifying fields pre-tagged as private information in the electronic file and redacting values associated with the pre-tagged fields to create a redacted electronic file;

converting the redacted electronic file to an image file; and

storing the image file in a support log module.

9. The method of claim 8, further comprising retrieving the redacted electronic file from the support log module by a support person.

10. The method of claim 8, wherein the health management application is a diabetes management application.

11. The method of claim 8, wherein the electronic file and the redacted electronic file are in hypertext markup language.

12. The method of claim 8, further comprising:

retrieving a history session of the user associated with and prior to the error message;

redacting from each electronic file in the history session the private information of the user to create corresponding redacted electronic files of the history session; and

storing the redacted electronic files of the history session to the support log module.

13. A system for capturing a user'"'"'s view of an electronic screen having an error message associated with a health management application without showing private information of the user, the system comprising:

a computer processor;

a logging service programmed to receive an electronic file with the error message from a user'"'"'s electronic screen and transfer the electronic file for sanitization;

a sanitization module programmed to receive the electronic file with the error message, redact private information of the user and create a redacted electronic file;

a support log for receiving and storing the redacted electronic file; and

a support application communicating with the support log and programmed to retrieve the redacted electronic file for delivery to a support person'"'"'s processing device,

wherein the logging service, the sanitization module, and the support application are all implemented by computer readable instructions executed by the computer processor.

14. The system of claim 13, wherein the sanitization module includes a redaction module programmed to create the redacted electronic file by identifying fields pre-tagged as private information in the electronic file and redacting values associated with the pre-tagged fields.

15. The system of claim 14, wherein the logging service is programmed to retrieve a history session of the user associated with and prior to the error message and transfer each electronic file to the redaction module.

16. The system of claim 15, wherein the redaction module is programmed to redact from each electronic file of the history session the private information of the user to create corresponding redacted electronic files of the history session.

17. The system of claim 13, wherein the sanitization module includes an image rendering module programmed to convert the redacted electronic file to an image file.

18. The system of claim 13, further comprising a web service communicating with a browser of the user in association with a health management application.

19. The system of claim 13, wherein the electronic file and the redacted electronic file are in hypertext markup language.
