Website Page Readability Scoring via Image Density Analysis
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional technologies for determining website page density and readability are time-consuming, error-prone, and fail to provide consistent results due to subjective definitions of graphical elements, lack of total coverage area of textual and graphical content, and do not consider cognitive impact or on-page attributes, especially in online mediums.
Innovation Solution
A system that captures an image of a website page to determine text and graphic densities, calculates a readability score by removing text content, and considers website page density, allowing for consistent results and improved readability metrics that account for graphical and text density relative to the reading area.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If conventional methods are used to determine website page density and readability, then the process can be completed, but the results are time-consuming and error-prone due to subjective definitions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual, subjective analysis methods with an automated image processing system that captures website pages as images and uses computational algorithms to objectively measure text and graphic densities, eliminating human subjectivity and significantly reducing analysis time while improving measurement precision
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a visual copy of the website page by capturing it as an image, then analyzes this copy to determine text density and graphic density. This copying approach allows for consistent, repeatable measurements without affecting the original website and enables automated processing
2Adaptability or versatility
If subjective definitions of graphical elements are used, then analysis can be performed, but consistency and reliability of results deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the analysis from subjective categorical definitions to objective quantitative parameter measurements. Instead of relying on subjective definitions of what constitutes a graphical element, the system measures the actual pixel area coverage of graphical content, providing consistent and reliable results that are independent of human interpretation
3Device complexity
If total coverage area of textual and graphical content is not measured, then analysis is simpler, but measurement precision and comprehensiveness worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the website page image into distinct components: text content areas and graphic content areas. By dividing the page into these segments and measuring the area of each, the system achieves comprehensive and precise density measurements while maintaining a relatively simple overall process through automated image processing

AI summary
Methods, system, and non-transitory processor-readable storage medium for a website page density and readability system are provided herein. An example method includes capturing an image of a website page rendered in a web browser, where the image comprises text content and graphical content within the website page. The website page density and readability system determines a website page density associated with the website page by removing the text content from the image. The website page density and readability system determines a readability score associated with the website page using the website page density.
