Abstract
A method and system for improving network usage detection and presentation is provided. The method includes detecting and identifying a user accessing specified network content. Objects being viewed by the user via a network are detected and prior associations between the objects and the user are determined. Attributes of the objects with respect to the prior associations are determined and presented via a GUI.
Claims13
A network usage detection and presentation improvement method comprising:
- detecting, by a processor of a hardware device, a user accessing specified network content;
- identifying, by said processor, said user;
- detecting, by said processor, objects being viewed by said user via a network associated with said network content;
- determining, by said processor accessing a database, prior associations between said objects and said user, wherein said determining said prior associations comprises detecting that said user has previously retrieved said objects from a physical structure at a specified geographical location;
- determining, by said processor, attributes of said objects with respect to said prior associations;
- determining, by said processor, differences between said attributes and current attributes associated with said objects with respect to said user;
- determining, by said processor, that said differences exceed a predetermined threshold value;
- and
- presenting, by said processor to said user via a graphical user interface said attributes, an indication that said user has previously retrieved said objects from said physical structure, said differences, and an indication that said differences exceed said predetermined threshold value.
A computer program product, comprising a computer readable hardware storage device storing a computer readable program code, said computer readable program code comprising an algorithm that when executed by a processor of a hardware device implements a network usage detection and presentation improvement method, said method comprising:
- detecting, by said processor, a user accessing specified network content;
- identifying, by said processor, said user;
- detecting, by said processor, objects being viewed by said user via a network associated with said network content;
- determining, by said processor accessing a database, prior associations between said objects and said user, wherein said determining said prior associations comprises detecting that said user has previously retrieved said objects from a physical structure at a specified geographical location;
- determining, by said processor, attributes of said objects with respect to said prior associations;
- determining, by said processor, differences between said attributes and current attributes associated with said objects with respect to said user;
- determining, by said processor, that said differences exceed a predetermined threshold value;
- and
- presenting, by said processor to said user via a graphical user interface said attributes, an indication that said user has previously retrieved said objects from said physical structure, said differences, and an indication that said differences exceed said predetermined threshold value.
A hardware device comprising a processor coupled to a computer-readable memory unit, said memory unit comprising instructions that when executed by the processor implements a network usage detection and presentation improvement method comprising:
- detecting, by said processor, a user accessing specified network content;
- identifying, by said processor, said user;
- detecting, by said processor, objects being viewed by said user via a network associated with said network content;
- determining, by said processor accessing a database, prior associations between said objects and said user, wherein said determining said prior associations comprises detecting that said user has previously retrieved said objects from a physical structure at a specified geographical location;
- determining, by said processor, attributes of said objects with respect to said prior associations;
- determining, by said processor, differences between said attributes and current attributes associated with said objects with respect to said user;
- determining, by said processor, that said differences exceed a predetermined threshold value;
- and
- presenting, by said processor to said user via a graphical user interface (GUI), said attributes, an indication that said user has previously retrieved said objects from said physical structure, said differences, and an indication that said differences exceed said predetermined threshold value.
