Method for continuous, frame-specific click-stream recording

A data tracking system, comprising:

• a processor;
• a non-transitory computer-readable medium;
• and
• stored instructions translatable by the processor to perform:
• responsive to a user at a user device interacting with a network site, collecting region-specific data in a data structure embodied on the non-transitory computer-readable medium, the data structure configured for storing region-specific identifying information, network addresses, and temporal information indicating when requests are sent from the user device, the region-specific data collected in the data structure comprising a first data entry containing a first identifier for a first region of a view displayed on the user device, a first network address, and a first time;
• determining that the first time precedes immediately a second time when a request is originated from the user device, the request containing the first identifier for the first region of the view displayed on the user device and a second network address;
• generating a second data entry in the data structure, the second data entry containing the first identifier for the first region of the view displayed on the user device, the second network address, the second time, and the first network address;
• and
• generating a string for the user at the user device, the string including a sequence of network addresses that originated from the first region of the view displayed on the client device, the string generated utilizing the data structure, the sequence of network addresses comprising the first network address and the second network address.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions translatable by a processor to perform:

• responsive to a user at a user device interacting with a network site, collecting region-specific data in a data structure embodied on non-transitory computer memory, the data structure configured for storing region-specific identifying information, network addresses, and temporal information indicating when requests are sent from the user device, the region-specific data collected in the data structure comprising a first data entry containing a first identifier for a first region of a view displayed on the user device, a first network address, and a first time;
• determining that the first time precedes immediately a second time when a request is originated from the user device, the request containing the first identifier for the first region of the view displayed on the user device and a second network address;
• generating a second data entry in the data structure, the second data entry containing the first identifier for the first region of the view displayed on the user device, the second network address, the second time, and the first network address;
• and
• generating a string for the user at the user device, the string including a sequence of network addresses that originated from the first region of the view displayed on the client device, the string generated utilizing the data structure, the sequence of network addresses comprising the first network address and the second network address.
