Abstract
The invention is to a system and method that utilizes a user's navigation commands in order to track which portions of a document the user has viewed and to determine if such viewing habit meets a predefined viewing requirement.
Claims35
A system comprised of a server computer in communication with a database and a remote device operated by a user for analyzing the viewing habits of the user of a document comprising:
- a subsystem operating on the remote device adapted by logic to display at least a portion of the document on a display screen of the remote device;
- a subsystem operating on the remote device adapted by logic to detect and store viewing commands input by the user for adjusting the apparent location in the document or apparent magnification of the viewing screen;
- and
- a subsystem operating on the remote device adapted by logic to transmit to the server the viewing command stream of the user.
A system for tracking the viewing habits of a plurality of viewers with regard to an electronic document displayed on the viewers' remote computing device comprising:
- a subsystem adapted by logic to receive and display at the remote computing device an electronic document;
- a subsystem adapted by logic to receive and store at a server, data representing one or more commands input into the user interface of the remote computing device for navigating the viewing of the document;
- and
- a subsystem adapted by logic to calculate an aggregated viewing habit metric associated with the plurality of viewers and the document, from the stored input command data;
A method executed by a server computer in communication with a database and a remote device operated by a user for analyzing the viewing habits of the user of a document comprising:
- displaying at least a portion of the document on a display screen of the remote device;
- detecting and storing viewing commands input by the user for adjusting the apparent location in the document or apparent magnification of the viewing screen;
- and
- transmitting to the server the viewing command stream of the user.
