The mobile device 300 is a portable digital device equipped with a microprocessor and may include a smartphone or a tablet PC, but is not limited thereto.

Configuration of graph generation server

Hereinafter, the detailed configuration of the graph generation server 200 performing important functions for the implementation of the present invention and the function of each component will be described.

As shown in FIG. 2, the graph generating server 200 includes an information collecting unit 210, an information extracting unit 220, and a graph generating unit 230. In addition, as illustrated in FIG. 2, the graph generation server 200 may further include a controller 240, a communicator 250, and a memory 260.

First, the information collecting unit 210 collects primary screen movement information about a screen movement event whenever a screen movement event occurs in an application including a plurality of screens.

In the present specification, the screen refers to a basic building block visually displayed on the display of the mobile device. The screen basically includes a layout and includes a plurality of objects for providing a user interface. One application may include a plurality of screens, and provide a user interface through them. Each screen may be implemented by one unit process, for example, an activity, a fragment, a subview.

In the present specification, a screen movement event means that movement between screens occurs automatically or by input from a user in a mobile device. For example, a screen move event may occur when a transition between activities implementing the screens occurs. The screen movement event of the present invention may occur between a plurality of screens of an application, and further, when there is a movement from a screen before the start to any one of the plurality of screens of the application as the application starts, And when there is a movement from one of the plurality of screens of the application to the screen after the end as the application is terminated. In addition, the screen movement event of the present invention may occur even when the horizontal screen is converted to the vertical screen.

In the present specification, the screen movement information refers to information regarding movement occurring between screens of a mobile device. The screen movement information may include the types of screens on which the screen movement event occurs, the cause of generating the screen movement event, and the direction in which the screen movement event occurs. In this specification, the screen movement information may be classified into primary screen movement information and secondary screen information. The primary screen movement information refers to all of the information related to the screen movement collected each occurrence of the screen movement event, and the secondary screen movement information refers to the screen movement information filtered on a predetermined basis from the plurality of primary screen movement information. .

See FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B for a detailed understanding of the screen movement event and the screen movement information of the present invention. 3A and 3B are diagrams exemplarily illustrating a case where a screen movement event occurs in an application.

Referring to FIG. 3A, it may be confirmed that a screen movement occurs to a second screen 384 constituting an application by a user clicking an object 382 on the first screen 380 constituting the application. When there is a movement from the first screen 380 to the second screen 384, the information collecting unit 210 considers that a screen moving event of the application has occurred, and thus, the first screen 380 and the second screen. Type of 384, the cause of the movement from the first screen 380 to the second screen 384 (in this embodiment, the user clicks on a particular object 382) and (the second screen on the first screen 380). Collect the occurrence direction of the screen movement event (to screen 384).

Referring to FIG. 3B, it may be confirmed that the movement occurs to the screen 386 after the termination from the first screen 380 constituting the application due to a crash, that is, an abnormal reason of unknown cause. If there is a movement to the screen 386 after the termination in the first screen 380, the information collection unit 210 considers that a screen movement event of the application has occurred, and thus, the first screen 382 and the screen after termination Type of 386, the cause of the movement to the screen 386 after the end in the first screen 380 (crash in this embodiment) and (the screen 386 after the end in the first screen 380) Collect the direction of occurrence of the screen movement event.

On the other hand, the information collecting unit 210 may collect information about the mobile device running the application. The information about the mobile device may include information about the model name of the mobile device, the operating system of the mobile device, the version of the mobile device, the resolution of the display of the mobile device and the country in which the mobile device operates. Information about the mobile device may be collected only once the first time the application is executed.

Next, the information extracting unit 220 extracts secondary screen movement information that satisfies a predetermined criterion from the collected primary screen movement information. In other words, the information extracting unit 220 functions to filter the plurality of primary screen movement information based on a predetermined criterion.

Here, the predetermined criterion is, for example, whether the screen movement event occurred within a specific period, whether the version of the application is the same, whether the mobile device on which the application is executed is the same model, the display of the mobile device on which the application is executed. May include one or more of the same resolution, whether the country where the screen movement event is generated is the same, and whether the cause of generating the screen movement event is the same. Only one of these criteria may be used, or two or more criteria may be used in combination. In order to set a predetermined criterion, information about the mobile device collected by the information collecting unit 210 may be further used.

The predetermined criterion may be preset by the subject who operates the graph generation server 200. If the subject operating the graph generation server 200 does not separately set the standard, whether the version of the application is the same may be set as the basic standard.

Next, the graph generator 230 generates a screen movement graph visually representing the movement history of the plurality of screens based on the secondary screen movement information. The screen movement graph may visually express the types of screens involved in the movement, the movement direction between the screens, and the frequency of movement between the screens.

The screens involved in the movements expressed in the screen movement graph may include not only a plurality of screens constituting the application but also a screen before start and a screen after end.

The screen before starting means a screen immediately before being moved to any one screen when there is a movement to any one screen among a plurality of screens as the application starts. When represented in the screen movement graph, the starting full screen may be regarded as the same screen regardless of its kind. In detail, the screen before starting immediately before executing as an application may be different according to the model of the mobile device, but all screens before starting may be regarded as the same screen regardless of the type. All pre-start screens can be represented by one type in the scroll graph, for example, an icon labeled “App_LAUNCH”.

The screen after termination refers to a screen immediately after moving from any one screen when there is a movement from any one screen among a plurality of screens as the application terminates. When expressed in the screen movement graph, the screen after termination may be regarded as a normal termination screen or an abnormal termination screen regardless of its type. Specifically, the screen after the end after the application will be different according to the model of the mobile device, but all the screens after the end when the application is abnormally terminated among the screens after the end are regarded as an abnormal end screen, and in all cases The screen after termination may be regarded as a normal termination screen. In the screen movement graph, all abnormal termination screens may be represented by one type, for example, an icon denoted by “App_CRASH”, and all normal termination screens may be represented by one type, eg, an icon denoted by “App_QUIT”. .

Meanwhile, in the screen movement graph, each of the screens may be represented in the form of an icon together with a name indicating the screens.

The direction of movement between the screens is represented in the screen movement graph to indicate in which direction the screen movement event proceeded. The movement direction between the screens in the screen movement graph may be preferably represented by an arrow, but is not necessarily limited thereto.

The frequency of movement between screens indicates how many screen movements occur in a particular direction between specific screens. The frequency of movement between the screens may mean the number of movements occurring in a predetermined condition, but in some cases, it may mean the average number of movements during one session (period until the application is executed and terminated). If it is an index that can indicate the frequency of movement, it is not particularly limited in what units.

The frequency of movement between the screens can be expressed in the screen movement graph such that the number is directly revealed, for example "100" or "200". In addition, when the screens are expressed in the form of icons, the frequency of movement between the screens may be expressed by the thickness of line segments connecting the icons representing the screens. For example, when the frequency of movement between the screens is high, the thickness of the line segments connecting the icons representing the screens is thick, and when the frequency of movement between the screens is thin, the thickness of the line segments connecting the icons representing the screens is thinly expressed. In this way, the frequency of movement between the screens can be expressed. Here, the line segment for expressing the moving frequency may be a line segment included in the arrow for indicating the moving direction between the screens. In addition, when the screens are expressed in the form of icons, the frequency of movement between the screens may be expressed by the color of line segments connecting the icons representing the screens. For example, when the frequency of movement between the screens is high, the color of the line segments connecting the icons representing the screens is expressed in a predetermined specific color, for example, red, and when the frequency of movement between the screens is low, the screens are displayed. The frequency of movement between the screens can be expressed in such a way that the color of the line segments connecting the icons is expressed in another predetermined color, for example, blue.

Meanwhile, in the screen movement graph, only the movement history of any one of the plurality of screens constituting the application may be visually represented. Here, in the screen movement graph, only the movement history flowing into one screen may be visually represented, only the movement history flowing out of one screen may be visually represented, and the movement flowing into and out of one screen Only the history can be visually represented.

Also, in the screen movement graph, the movement direction between the screens and the frequency of movement between the screens may be expressed for each cause of generating the screen movement event. Here, the cause of the screen movement event may include a user interaction or a predetermined time out. The user's interaction may include, but is not limited to, a specific object, for example, a touch on a button, a swipe, a long touch, a mobile device shake, a pinch-to-zoom, or the like, which may generate a screen movement event. It may include certain actions defined by the application provider to cause screen movement. The timeout may be described as a case where the screen movement event is generated by a timer method. As described above, the cause of the screen movement event may be included in the screen movement information.

Next, the controller 240 controls the flow of data between the information collector 210, the information extractor 220, the graph generator 230, the communicator 250, and the memory 260. In other words, the controller 240 controls the flow of data from the outside or between each component of the graph generation server 200, thereby collecting the information collector 210, the information extractor 220, and the graph generator 230. ), The communication unit 250 and the memory 260 may control to perform a unique function.

Next, the communication unit 250 serves to enable the graph generation server 200 to communicate with an external device such as the mobile device 300.

Next, the screen movement information collected from the mobile device 300, information about the mobile device, a generated graph, and the like may be stored in the memory 260. The memory 260 may include random access memory (RAM), read-only memory (ROM), a magnetic disk device, an optical disk device, a flash memory, or the like. It is not limited.

Meanwhile, each component of the graph generation server 200 may be program modules, at least some of which are in communication with the mobile device. Such program modules may be included in the graph generation server 200 in the form of operating systems, application modules, and other program modules, and may be physically stored on various known storage devices. In addition, such program modules may be stored in a remote storage device that can communicate with the graph generation server 200. On the other hand, such program modules include, but are not limited to, routines, subroutines, programs, objects, components, data structures, etc. that perform local tasks or execute local abstract data types, as described below, in accordance with the present invention.

In addition, each configuration of the graph generation server 200 is only illustrated as a separate configuration for convenience of description, and may be implemented in one module or one configuration may be divided into two or more configurations according to an implementation method.

How to create a pan graph

First, whenever a screen movement event occurs in an application including a plurality of screens, primary screen movement information regarding the screen movement event is collected (S410). Prior to collecting the primary screen movement information regarding the screen movement event, mobile device information regarding the mobile device on which the application is executed may be further collected.

Next, secondary screen movement information that meets a predetermined criterion is extracted from the primary screen movement information (S420). In this case, the predetermined criterion may be preset by the application provider or graph generator.

Next, based on the secondary screen movement information, a screen movement graph that visually shows the movement histories of the plurality of screens may be generated (S430). The generated scroll graph may be supplied to a consumer, for example, an application provider. According to the needs of the consumer who is supplied with the scroll graph, the scroll graph is displayed in various ways, for example, in a manner in which only the movement history for any one of the plurality of screens is represented, or the screen.
