 Commodio software constantly analyzes the content displayed on a screen of a device and extracts from it all visible objects that appear, such as text, graphics, images and GUI controls. The extraction of objects is accomplished by combining image-processing techniques with knowledge of operating system internals. The information about objects, which includes their properties and location on the screen, is kept in a database of screen objects. The database is maintained and updated in real time, and mirrors at any given moment the current content of the screen. This database may be thought of as a new medium - a "Content Layer" built on top of the existing pixel layer of the screen. Screen content layer is the collection of all meaningful objects, such as words, graphics and images that are currently visible on a screen. |
