Claim Text:
1. A computer-implemented method for tracking user interactions with a mobile user interface (UI), comprising: collecting data while a user interacts with the mobile UI through a touchscreen, wherein the collected data includes tap-attempt data that specifies coordinates for touchscreen locations that the user has tapped while interacting with the mobile UI; comparing the tap-attempt data with locations of tappable elements in the mobile UI, wherein each tappable element has an associated tap target size; for each tappable element, using results of the comparison to determine a percentage of tap attempts that have succeeded or failed for the associated tap target size; and making the percentage information available to a UI designer to enable the UI designer to adjust tap target sizes for the mobile UI; wherein the collected data additionally includes swipe-attempt data that specifies coordinates for a “touch down” location and an associated “touch up” location for each swipe attempt, and wherein the method further comprises: comparing the swipe-attempt data with locations of swipable elements in the mobile UI, wherein each swipable element has an associated swipe target size; for each swipable element, using results of the comparison to determine a percentage of swipe attempts that have succeeded or failed for the associated swipe target size; and making the percentage information available to the UI designer to enable the UI designer to adjust swipe target sizes for the mobile UI accordingly.
