Methods and devices for recording changes in visual stimuli observed through browser-based interfaces
First Claim
1. A system that enables the recording of user-viewable visual stimuli comprising:
- a processor device configured to execute an application configured to record parameters relating to a user-viewable stimulus at a first time, wherein the recording of the parameters is performed by;
receiving information specifying features of a detected visual event;
verifying that the visual event involves to one or more parameters, wherein at least one of the one or more parameters indicates a user'"'"'s eye position or eye dilation recorded by an eye-tracking device; and
recording one or more recorded parameters that specifies a viewable stimulus of the visual event; and
a storage platform, coupled to the processor device, configured to store the one or more recorded parameters, wherein the stored one or more recorded parameters are usable to recreate, at a second time different from the first time, at least a portion of the user-viewable stimulus.

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 users interface experience. In operation, the devices detect events as detected at the browser interface. Next, the devices identify, categorize, and filter detected events as to their relevance to the visual stimuli being presented to the user. The devices then assign a unique identifier, preferably in the form of an alphanumeric string, to each relevant event. Furthermore, the devices record selected events into a log (along with their categorization), a unique identifier, and the time in which the event occurred. Yet another embodiment are devices that record changes in parameters that may impact the visual stimuli.

13. A method for recording user-viewable visual stimuli, the method comprising:
-
recording a user-viewable stimulus at a first time by; receiving information specifying features of a detected visual event; verifying that the visual event involves to one or more parameters, wherein at least one of the one or more parameters indicates a user'"'"'s eye position or eye dilation recorded by an eye-tracking device; and recording one or more recorded parameters that specifies a viewable stimulus of the visual event; and storing the one or more recorded parameters from the user-viewable stimulus, wherein the one or more recorded parameters are usable to recreate, at a second time different from the first time, at least a portion of the user-viewable stimulus. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A computer-readable medium that is not solely a transitory propagating signal, storing instructions configured to, when executed by a computing system, cause the computing system to perform operations for recording of user-viewable visual stimuli, the operations comprising:
-
recording a user-viewable stimulus at a first time by; receiving information specifying features of a detected visual event; and recording at least one parameter that specifies a viewable stimulus of the visual event, wherein the at least one parameter indicates an eye position or eye dilation recorded by an eye-tracking device; and storing the recorded at least one parameter, wherein the stored parameter is usable to recreate, at a second time different from the first time, at least a portion of the user-viewable stimulus. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
