Patent ID: 10467535

Abstract:
A computer-implemented method modifies a graphical user interface (GUI) for an application to improve GUI usability. One or more processors identify a current GUI that is utilized by a current software application. The processor(s) match the current GUI to other GUIs that have a same function, semantics, and context of the current GUI. The processor(s) identify a top-k active field used by the other GUIs, and match a function of a current active field from the current GUI to a function of the top-k active field used by the other GUIs. In response to a visual appearance of the current active field from the current GUI not matching a visual appearance of the top-k active field used by the other GUIs, the processor(s) replace the current active field with the top-k active field in the current GUI in order to improve usability of the current GUI.
