Abstract:
A method for providing dynamic operational guidance of commands to use a computer program, the method comprising the steps of:iteratively searching a Host Application Model to locate a target graphic user interface object (GuiObj) corresponding to a command to execute, and to locate a current location of a user in the Host Application Model; determining a path through the Host Application Model between the target GuiObj and the current location of the user; generating a dynamic guide sequence record from the path for executing the command; receiving user inputs corresponding to a selection of the target GuiObj associated with the command; generating a GuiObj identifier (ID) corresponding to the selected target GuiObj; and mapping the GuiObj ID to a GuiObj key, wherein the step of iteratively searching a Host Application Model includes the step of searching the Host Application Model using the Gui Obj key.
