Abstract

Disclosed herein are embodiments for processing a user interface (UI) using one or more parameters to capture user feedback. Embodiments operate by identifying one or more UI element codes in an information screen based on a parameter data structure. The embodiments request a set of responses from a database based on the parameter data structure. The embodiments generate a set of UI elements that capture user feedback based on the set of responses. The embodiments then present the information screen with the generated set of UI elements to capture user feedback.

Claims (50)

1. A computer implemented method for processing a user interface to capture user feedback, comprising:

identifying, by at least one processor, a user interface (UI) element code for an information screen based at least in part on a first parameter data structure linked to the UI element code, wherein the UI element code is configured to perform a first action;

requesting, by the at least one processor, a first set of responses from a database based at least in part on the first parameter data structure;

transforming, by the at least one processor, the UI element code into a set of UI elements based at least in part on the first set of responses, wherein each UI element in the set of UI elements is configured to perform the first action and a second action comprising capturing a response in the first set of responses; and

presenting, by the at least one processor, the information screen with the set of UI elements.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transforming further comprises:

transforming, by the at least one processor, the UI element code into the set of UI elements based at least in part on a UI element type field of the first parameter data structure, wherein each UI element in the set of UI elements is a type of UI element specified by the UI element type field.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

requesting, by the at least one processor, a second set of responses from the database based at least in part on a second parameter data structure linked to the UI element code.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the requesting the second set of responses further comprises:

requesting, by the at least one processor, the second set of responses from the database based at least in part on a category or a context variable, wherein the category is associated with the UI element code.

5. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:

combining, by the at least one processor, the first set of responses with the second set of responses.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the combining further comprises:

combining, by the at least one processor, the first set of responses with the second set of responses based at least in part on an intersection of the first set of responses and the second set of responses.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the combining further comprises:

combining, by the at least one processor, the first set of responses with the second set of responses based at least in part on a union of the first set of responses and the second set of responses.

8. A system, comprising:

a memory; and

at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:

identify a user interface (UI) element code for an information screen based at least in part on a first parameter data structure linked to the UI element code, wherein the UI element code is configured to perform a first action;

request a first set of responses from a database based at least in part on the first parameter data structure;

transform the UI element code into a set of UI elements based at least in part on the first set of responses, wherein each UI element in the set of UI elements is configured to perform the first action and a second action comprising capturing a response in the first set of responses; and

present the information screen with the set of UI elements.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein to transform, the at least one processor is further configured to:

transform the UI element code into the set of UI elements based at least in part on a UI element type field of the first parameter data structure, wherein each UI element in the set of UI elements is a type of UI element specified by the UI element type field.

10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

request a second set of responses from the database based at least in part on a second parameter data structure linked to the UI element code.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein to request the second set of responses, the at least one processor is further configured to:

request the second set of responses from the database based at least in part on a category or a context variable, wherein the category is associated with the UI element code.

12. The system of claim 10 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

combine the first set of responses with the second set of responses.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein to combine the first set of responses with the second set of responses, the at least one processor is further configured to:

combine the first set of responses with the second set of responses based at least in part on an intersection of the first set of responses and the second set of responses.

14. The system of claim 12 , wherein to combine the first set of responses with the second set of responses, the at least one processor is further configured to:

combine the first set of responses with the second set of responses based at least in part on a union of the first set of responses and the second set of responses.

15. A user interface for simultaneously capturing data input and performing an action instantiated on a display of an electronic device, wherein the user interface is generated by a process comprising the steps of:

identifying, by at least one processor, a user interface (UI) element code based at least in part on a first parameter data structure, wherein the UI element code is configured to perform a first action;

requesting, by the at least one processor, a first set of responses from a database based at least in part on the first parameter data structure; and

transforming, by the at least one processor, the UI element code into a set of UI elements based at least in part on the first set of responses, wherein each UI element in the set of UI elements is configured to perform the first action and a second action comprising capturing a response in the first set of responses.

16. The user interface of claim 15 , wherein the transforming further comprises:

transforming, by the at least one processor, the UI element code into the set of UI elements based at least in part on a UI element type field of the first parameter data structure, wherein each UI element in the set of UI elements is a type of UI element specified by the UI element type field.

17. The user interface of claim 15 , wherein the process further comprises the step of:

requesting, by the at least one processor, a second set of responses from the database based at least in part on a second parameter data structure linked to the UI element code.

18. The user interface of claim 17 , wherein the process further comprises the step of:

combining, by the at least one processor, the first set of responses with the second set of responses.

19. The user interface of claim 18 , wherein the combining further comprises:

combining, by the at least one processor, the first set of responses with the second set of responses based at least in part on an intersection of the first set of responses and the second set of responses.

20. The user interface of claim 18 , wherein the combining further comprises:

combining, by the at least one processor, the first set of responses with the second set of responses based at least in part on a union of the first set of responses and the second set of responses.
