GRAPHICAL ELEMENT DETECTION USING A COMBINED SERIES AND DELAYED PARALLEL EXECUTION UNIFIED TARGET TECHNIQUE, A DEFAULT GRAPHICAL ELEMENT DETECTION TECHNIQUE, OR BOTH

Abstract:

Graphical element detection using a combined series and delayed parallel execution unified target technique that potentially uses a plurality of graphical element detection techniques, performs default user interface (UI) element detection technique configuration at the application and/or UI type level, or both, is disclosed. The unified target merges multiple techniques of identifying and automating UI elements into a single cohesive approach. A unified target descriptor chains together multiple types of UI descriptors in series, uses them in parallel, or uses at least one technique first for a period of time and then runs at least one other technique in parallel or alternatively if the first technique does not find a match within the time period.
