Patent Document ID: 8776009
Application ID: 12720835

Base Claim:
1. A method for modeling interactive sequential applications for smart mobile devices, comprising the steps of: a) generating in a central processing unit (CPU) a static model describing all goals of target applications using their screens, Screen Input Elements (SIEs), transitions between screens, sub-goals and the links between them; b) building in said CPU a dynamic model based on said static model by tracking the use of the application screens over an actual device while using an inheritance mechanism whereby model entities having a parent-child relationship are reusable in different models; c) creating instances of said static and dynamic models specifically generated for a variety of devices; d) storing said static and dynamic models with their instances into a passive Task Model database, being in data communication with said CPU; e) downloading relevant passive Task Models to user's device according its type and the application supported by said user's device; f) tracking in real-time user's actions during user-system interactions and generating a unique identifier for each application's screen that is visited by the user of said mobile device by choosing an identifier that matches a signature of each application's screen, wherein created identifiers are used for generating an active model of the user's actual usage; g) storing said tracked model into an active Task Model database being in data communication with said CPU; and h) comparing said active Task Model to said passive Task Model and generating usage patterns for said user; wherein the static and dynamic models are in the form of an Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD), and implemented in a relational database.

Claim 4:
4. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising analyzing data by comparing said passive and active databases, for generating an output database that comprises usage patterns, error patterns, user's intention prediction, market trends, and usability hotspots (problems) in addition to graphs and reports for helping providers realizing customers' activities and behavior.
