Querying dialog prompts using hash values

摘要

Implementations can be used to initiate a query for information regarding a dialog prompt or other pop-up type of prompt or image. Further, implementations may use hash values in proxy for images to enable aggregating of images for creating a knowledge base regarding certain images determined to be of interest.

1. One or more computer-readable storage devices storing processor-executable instructions that when executed by one or more processors implement a method comprising:
receiving a dialog prompt on a display at a computing device; initiating a query for information regarding the dialog prompt; in response to the initiating of the query,
automatically activating a web browser on the computing device without user input explicitly directed to activating the web browser, the activation including executing the web browser;directing the web browser to a website containing information on the dialog prompt; andproviding the web browser with a hash value calculated for an image corresponding to the dialog prompt such that the web browser provides the hash value to the website, wherein the website uses the hash value provided by the web browser to locate a webpage containing information on the dialog prompt; and receiving the webpage at the computing device from the website as a result of providing the hash value to the web browser, wherein the webpage contains information regarding the dialog prompt; wherein the image corresponding to the dialog prompt for which the hash value is calculated is an image generated based on prerendering information used in rendering the dialog prompt for display on the display of the computing device and the prerendering information is not derived from a screen capture image.
