Devices and methods of monitoring network-connected client devices

An electronic device monitoring a plurality of network-connected client devices, the electronic device comprising:

• a processor;
• a communication subsystem coupled to the processor for transmitting a common electronic document to the plurality of network-connected client devices, respective client devices displaying the common electronic document on an output device for facilitating recipient user interaction with the common electronic document on that client device;
• and
• a memory coupled to the processor and storing processor-readable instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to:
• receive, via the communication subsystem, a plurality of delivery reports from the respective client devices that received the common electronic document, the plurality of delivery reports including a first delivery report having first consumption data associated with the common electronic document at a first client device;
• generate an engagement vector from the plurality of delivery reports, the engagement vector includes a threshold metric for determining an extent of interaction with the common electronic document at the respective client devices;
• and
• provide, for display at the electronic device, a compliance result for the first client device by comparing the threshold metric to the first consumption data of the first client device.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising processor-readable instructions which, when executed, configure a processor to:

• receive, via a network connection to network-connected client devices, a plurality of delivery reports from the client devices that received a common electronic document, the plurality of delivery reports including a first delivery report having first consumption data associated with the common electronic document at a first client device;
• generate, by a sender device, an engagement vector for the plurality of delivery reports, the engagement vector including a threshold metric for determining an extent of interaction with the common electronic document at respective client devices;
• and
• provide, for display by the sender device, a compliance result for the first client device by comparing the threshold metric to the first consumption data of the first client device.
