Automatic restructuring of graphical user interface components based on user interaction

Abstract:

A memory stores a hierarchy representing an arrangement of content for a graphical user interface (GUI), wherein the content includes sibling components that have a common parent component, wherein components of the GUI are respectively associated with position indicators and click counts. One or more processors are configured to: (i) provide a first representation of the GUI with the sibling components arranged according to a first ordering, wherein the first ordering is based on the position indicators of the sibling components; (ii) receive selections of the components, wherein the selections are received by way of the GUI; (iii) update the click counts based on the selections; (iv) recalculate the position indicators based on the click counts; and (v) provide a second representation of the GUI with the sibling components arranged according to a second ordering, wherein the second ordering is based on the position indicators as recalculated.
