Abstract

Claims (55)

1. A method for improved compression of a graphical user interface (GUI), comprising:

receiving a first graphical user interface (GUI), the first GUI including a GUI object;

compressing the first GUI, wherein the compressed first GUI is associated with a first compression ratio;

generating a second GUI based only on GUI objects of the first GUI, including the GUI object of the first GUI, wherein the second GUI is different from the first GUI;

compressing the second GUI, wherein the compressed second GUI is associated with a second compression ratio;

generating an instruction which when executed configures a computer device to render the second GUI, only in response to determining that the second compression ratio is higher than the first compression ratio; and

generating an instruction which when executed configures the computer device to render the first GUI, only in response to determining that the second compression ratio is lower than the first compression ratio.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the GUI object further includes any one of: a position indicator, a color, a color palette, a graphical element, an associated action, a software module, a computer code, and a combination thereof.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first GUI and the second GUI are each compressed using the same compression scheme.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second GUI is generated by a generative adversarial network (GAN).

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

generating a plurality of second GUIs, each second GUI having a unique compression ratio; and

generating an instruction which when executed configures the computer device to render the first GUI, in response to determining that the first compression ratio is equal to or higher than each of the second compression ratios.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second GUI includes an instruction to render the GUI object in a predetermined position.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein second GUI includes an instruction to render the GUI object in a predetermined size.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the predetermined size is between a first area size and a second area size.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining a file size of the first GUI;

determining a file size of the first compressed GUI; and

generating the first compression ratio based on the determined file size of the first GUI and the determined file size of the compressed first GUI.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

detecting that a first GUI object of the first GUI is rendered on a first plurality of blocks, each block including an area defined by pixels of a display; and

generating the second GUI including a second GUI object corresponding to the first GUI object, wherein the second GUI object is rendered on a subset of the first plurality of blocks.

11. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions for causing a processing circuitry to execute a process, the process comprising:

receiving a first graphical user interface (GUI), the first GUI including a GUI object;

compressing the first GUI, wherein the compressed first GUI is associated with a first compression ratio;

generating a second GUI based only on GUI objects of the first GUI, including the GUI object of the first GUI, wherein the second GUI is different from the first GUI;

compressing the second GUI, wherein the compressed second GUI is associated with a second compression ratio;

generating an instruction which when executed configures a computer device to render the second GUI, only in response to determining that the second compression ratio is higher than the first compression ratio; and

generating an instruction which when executed configures the computer device to render the first GUI, only in response to determining that the second compression ratio is lower than the first compression ratio.

12. A system for improved compression of a graphical user interface (GUI), comprising:

a processing circuitry; and

a memory, the memory containing instructions that, when executed by the processing circuitry, configure the system to:

receive a first graphical user interface (GUI), the first GUI including a GUI object;

compress the first GUI, wherein the compressed first GUI is associated with a first compression ratio;

generate a second GUI based only on GUI objects of the first GUI, including the GUI object of the first GUI, wherein the second GUI is different from the first GUI;

compress the second GUI, wherein the compressed second GUI is associated with a second compression ratio;

generate an instruction which when executed configures a computer device to render the second GUI, only in response to determining that the second compression ratio is higher than the first compression ratio; and

generate an instruction which when executed configures the computer device to render the first GUI, only in response to determining that the second compression ratio is lower than the first compression ratio.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the GUI object further includes any one of: a position indicator, a color, a color palette, a graphical element, an associated action, a software module, a computer code, and a combination thereof.

14. The system of claim 12 , wherein the first GUI and the second GUI are each compressed using the same compression scheme.

15. The system of claim 12 , wherein the second GUI is generated by a generative adversarial network (GAN).

16. The system of claim 12 , wherein the memory contains further instructions which when executed by the processing circuitry further configure the system to:

generate a plurality of second GUIs, each second GUI having a unique compression ratio; and

generate an instruction which when executed configures the computer device to render the first GUI, in response to determining that the first compression ratio is equal to or higher than each of the second compression ratios.

17. The system of claim 12 , wherein the second GUI includes an instruction to render the GUI object in a predetermined position.

18. The system of claim 12 , wherein second GUI includes an instruction to render the GUI object in a predetermined size.

19. The system of claim 18 , wherein the predetermined size is between a first area size and a second area size.

20. The system of claim 12 , wherein the memory contains further instructions which when executed by the processing circuitry further configure the system to:

determine a file size of the first GUI;

determine a file size of the first compressed GUI; and

generate the first compression ratio based on the determined file size of the first GUI and the determined file size of the compressed first GUI.

21. The system of claim 12 , wherein the memory contains further instructions which when executed by the processing circuitry further configure the system to:

detect that a first GUI object of the first GUI is rendered on a first plurality of blocks, each block including an area defined by pixels of a display; and

generate the second GUI including a second GUI object corresponding to the first GUI object, wherein the second GUI object is rendered on a subset of the first plurality of blocks.
