User interface usage measurement and user interface design using machine learning

Abstract:

Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for measuring graphical user interface (GUI) usage, generating visual depictions of the GUI usage, and providing GUI modification recommendations based on the GUI usage. A user interface (UI) usage measurement system may monitor user interactions with an application from one or more user devices. The UI usage measurement system may data such as button clicks or other icon interactions on a GUI. After aggregating this information, the UI usage measurement system may apply machine learning techniques to determine a GUI object recommendation. The recommendation may include the movement of one or more GUI objects to different locations so that the user may more quickly access GUI objects that are more heavily utilized. In this manner, the UI usage measurement system may modify the GUI used by a particular user to access elements of an application.
