Method and system for visualizing patterns during internet browsing

A method comprising:

• receiving, by a processor, input indicative of a web page being loaded, as part of a web session of a user, in a browser at a client computing device;
• creating, via the processor, a visual pattern corresponding to the web session, the visual pattern comprising a marker corresponding to the web page;
• modifying, via the processor, the visual pattern during the web session in response to multiple different types of detected activities of the user with the web page during the web session, the visual pattern comprising continuous data streams of user movements on the web page;
• receiving, via the processor, input indicative of a termination by the user of the web session;
• discontinuing, via the processor, modification of the visual pattern in response to the input indicative of the termination by the user of the web session;
• identifying, via the processor and using the visual pattern, content used by the user during the web session;
• determining, via the processor, a content interest of the user using the content identified using the visual pattern;
• and
• instructing, via the processor, the browser to present at least one content item in a display at the client computing device, the at least one content item corresponding to the at least one content interest of the user determined using the content identified using the visual pattern.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium tangibly encoded with computer-executable instructions that when executed by a processor associated with a computing device perform a method comprising:

• receiving input indicative of a web page being loaded, as part of a web session of a user, in a browser at a client computing device;
• creating a visual pattern corresponding to the web session, the visual pattern comprising a marker corresponding to the web page;
• modifying the visual pattern during the web session in response to multiple different types of detected activities of the user with the web page during the web session, the visual pattern comprising continuous data streams of user movements on the web page;
• receiving input indicative of a termination by the user of the web session;
• discontinuing modification of the visual pattern in response to the input indicative of the termination by the user of the web session;
• identifying, using the visual pattern, content used by the user during the web session;
• determining a content interest of the user using the content identified using the visual pattern;
• and
• instructing the browser to present at least one content item in a display at the client computing device, the at least one content item corresponding to the at least one content interest of the user determined using the content identified using the visual pattern.

A computing device comprising:

• a processor;
• a non-transitory storage medium for tangibly storing thereon program logic for execution by the processor, the program logic comprising:
• receiving logic executed by the processor for receiving input indicative of a web page being loaded, as part of a web session of a user, in a browser at a client computing device;
• creating logic executed by the processor for creating a visual pattern corresponding to the web session, the visual pattern comprising a marker corresponding to the web page;
• modifying logic executed by the processor for modifying the visual pattern during the web session in response to multiple different types of detected activities of the user with the web page during the web session, the visual pattern comprising continuous data streams of user movements on the web page;
• receiving logic executed by the processor for receiving input indicative of a termination by the user of the web session;
• discontinuing logic executed by the processor for discontinuing modification of the visual pattern in response to the input indicative of the termination by the user of the web session;
• identifying logic executed by the processor for identifying, using the visual pattern, content used by the user during the web session;
• determining logic executed by the processor for determining a content interest of the user using the content identified using the visual pattern;
• and
• instructing logic executed by the processor for instructing the browser to present at least one content item in a display at the client computing device, the at least one content item corresponding to the at least one content interest of the user determined using the content identified using the visual pattern.
