Contextual indexing of applications

摘要

Disclosed are various embodiments for the contextual indexing of applications using an application analyzer. In one embodiment, the application analyzer identifies at least one used element present in an application. The application analyzer computes a weight for the at least one used element, then provides the at least one used element and the respective weight to a contextual index service.

主权项

1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium embodying a program executable in a computing device, the program comprising:
code that identifies a plurality of used elements invoked in a user interface of an application during execution of the application, including at least one of:
text present in an image of the application;at least one object present in the image; anda spoken word present in an audio segment of the application; code that calculates a number of times the used elements are invoked during the execution of the application; code that calculates a weight for each of the used elements; code that determines a degree of correlation between a plurality of previously existing descriptive tags associated with the application and the used elements; and code that provides a plurality of positively correlated ones of the descriptive tags and the used elements to a contextual index service, wherein the positively correlated ones of the descriptive tags and the used elements are employed to determine if the application is relevant to a search.
