Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Metadata generation systems and methods are described. An example computer-implemented method of automatically generating metadata used to develop graphical user interfaces includes scanning an image of a user interface to detect a candidate region on the image, the candidate region being potentially associated with a user interface component. The example method includes analyzing the candidate region to identify a user interface component contained therein by comparing a potential user interface component to user interface definitions stored in a database to identify one of the user interface definitions associated therewith. The example method includes extracting one or more properties of the identified user interface component and generating metadata based on the user interface definition associated with the identified user interface component and the extracted properties.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A computer-implemented method of automatically generating metadata used to develop graphical user interfaces, comprising: scanning a hand-drawn image of a user interface to detect a candidate region on the image, the candidate region being potentially associated with a user interface component; analyzing the candidate region to identify a user interface component contained therein by comparing a potential user interface component to user interface definiti…
