Abstract

A platform is provided to capture data displayed on a screen of a graphical user interface. The platform can find relevant foreground windows and determine whether the windows belong to a monitored process. The platform can also identify the context of the screen and record any changes. Related system, method, apparatus, and non-transitory computer readable medium are also provided.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

receiving, using at least one data processor, a screen of a graphical user interface comprising a plurality of windows;

determining, for each of the windows, whether the window is configured to receive data input from a user, the determination being made using the at least one data processor;

generating, for each window configured to receive data input, a list of multiple candidate configuration files that correspond to the window, the generating of the list being based on a size and position of the window;

selecting, for each window configured to receive data input, a configuration file from the list that corresponds to the window, wherein the selecting comprises (i) determining properties of graphical user interface (GUI) elements of the window, and (ii) selecting a configuration file from the list having a set of configuration elements with properties that correspond to those of the GUI elements;

detecting, using the at least one data processor, a change to one of the GUI elements of a window configured to receive data input; and

storing, using the at least one data processor, the change, the stored change being associated with a configuration element of the configuration file that corresponds to the window configured to receive data input.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the change is stored temporarily at a local computer terminal where the screen is displayed to the user.

3. The method according to claim 2, further comprising detecting, using at least one data processor, a trigger event, and when the trigger event is detected, storing, using at least one data processor, the change in long-term data storage.

4. The method according to claim 3, wherein the change is stored in long-term data storage only when the trigger event is detected.

5. The method according to claim 1, further comprising listening, using at least one data processor, for a new screen, and determining, using at least one data processor, whether the new screen concerns a same patient as the screen.

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein the screen is received using HTML.

7. The method according to claim 1, wherein the screen includes data from an electronic medical record system.

21. The method of claim 7, wherein the change is detected (i) without access to the electronic medical record system, and (ii) without communication with the electronic medical record system.

8. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions, which when executed by at least one data processor of at least one computing system, result in operations comprising:

receiving, using the at least one data processor, a screen of a graphical user interface comprising a plurality of windows;

determining, for each of the windows, whether the window is configured to receive data input from a user, the determination being made using the at least one data processor;

generating, for each window configured to receive data input, a list of multiple candidate configuration files that correspond to the window, the generating of the list being based on a size and position of the window;

selecting, for each window configured to receive data input, a configuration file from the list that corresponds to the window, wherein the selecting comprises (i) determining properties of graphical user interface (GUI) elements of the window, and (ii) selecting a configuration file from the list having a set of configuration elements with properties that correspond to those of the GUI elements;

detecting, using the at least one data processor, a change to one of the GUI elements of a window configured to receive data input; and

storing, using the at least one data processor, the change, the stored change being associated with a configuration element of the configuration file that corresponds to the window configured to receive data input.

9. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 8, wherein the change is stored temporarily at a local computer terminal where the screen is displayed to the user.

10. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 9, further comprising detecting, using at least one data processor, a trigger event, and when the trigger event is detected, storing, using at least one data processor, the change in long-term data storage.

11. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 10, wherein the change is stored in long-term data storage only when the trigger event is detected.

12. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 8, further comprising listening, using at least one data processor, for a new screen, and determining, using at least one data processor, whether the new screen concerns a same patient as the screen.

13. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 8, wherein the screen is received using HTML.

14. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 8, wherein the screen includes data from an electronic medical record system.

22. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 14, wherein the change is detected (i) without access to the electronic medical record system, and (ii) without communication with the electronic medical record system.

15. A system comprising:

at least one data processor; and

memory storing instructions which, when executed by the at least one data processor, result in operations comprising;

receiving, using the at least one data processor, a screen of a graphical user interface comprising a plurality of windows

determining, for each of the windows, whether the window is configured to receive data input from a user, the determination being made using the at least one data processor;

generating, for each window configured to receive data input, a list of multiple candidate configuration files that correspond to the window, the generating of the list being based on a size and position of the window;

selecting, for each window configured to receive data input, a configuration file from the list that corresponds to the window, wherein the selecting comprises (i) determining properties of graphical user interface (GUI) elements of the window, and (ii) selecting a configuration file from the list having a set of configuration elements with properties that correspond to those of the GUI elements;

detecting, using the at least one data processor, a change to one of the GUI elements of a window configured to receive data input; and

storing, using the at least one data processor, the change, the stored change being associated with a configuration element of the configuration file that corresponds to the window configured to receive data input.

16. The system according to claim 15, wherein the change is stored temporarily at a local computer terminal where the screen is displayed to the user.

17. The system according to claim 16, wherein the operations further comprises detecting, using at least one data processor, a trigger event, and when the trigger event is detected, storing, using at least one data processor, the change in long term data storage.

18. The system according to claim 17, wherein the change is stored in long-term data storage only when the trigger event is detected.

19. The system according to claim 15, wherein the operations further comprises listening, using at least one data processor, for a new screen, and determining, using at least one data processor, whether the new screen concerns a same patient as the screen.

20. The system according to claim 15, wherein the screen includes data from an electronic medical record system.

23. The system of claim 20, wherein the change is detected (i) without access to the electronic medical record system, and (ii) without communication with the electronic medical record system.
