Abstract
A system and method for collecting usage data from a first user device and a second user device includes a first module receiving a first device action signal from the first user device having first device usage data associated therewith. The first module receives a second device action signal from second user device having second device usage data associated therewith and stores the storing the first device usage data and the second device usage data in the usage queue. A usage data collector is in communication with the first module and receives the first usage data and the second usage data to a usage data collector. A central data storage site receives the usage data from the usage data collector.
Claims22
A method comprising:
- generating a first device action signal at a first user device having first device usage data associated therewith;
- generating a second device action signal at a second user device having second device usage data associated therewith;
- communicating the first device usage data and the second device usage data to a usage data queue;
- storing the first device usage data and the second device usage data in the usage data queue;
- forming a batch file comprising the first device usage data and second device usage data;
- thereafter, communicating the batch file to a usage data collector located remotely from the usage data queue;
- and
- communicating the first device usage data and the second device usage data to a central data storage site from the usage data collector in a plurality of files.
A system in communication with a first user device and a second user device comprising:
- a first module receiving a first device action signal from the first user device having first device usage data associated therewith, receiving a second device action signal from the second user device having second device usage data associated therewith and storing the first device usage data and the second device usage data in the usage queue, said first module forming a batch file from the first device usage data and the second device usage data;
- a usage data collector located remotely from the usage queue in communication with the first module receiving the first device usage data and the second device usage data in the batch file from the usage queue;
- and
- a central data storage site receiving the first device usage data and the second device usage data from the usage data collector in a plurality of files.
